Frequently Asked Questions
We use technologies like SkinPen and ProLift RFM to enhance our treatments and create transformative results. SkinPen is a device that creates precise micro-injuries within your skin, promoting collagen production and skin renewal. ProLift RFM complements this using radiofrequency energy to intensify the collagen and elastin stimulation to improve your skin’s firmness and texture. They work together as a comprehensive approach to improving your skin.
Yes, we can perform your microneedling treatment on sensitive areas. This might include your neck and under-eyes. To make it safe for these delicate parts of your body, we simply adjust the treatment settings to accommodate for sensitivity.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling stimulates the body’s natural healing responses by creating microchannels in the layers of your skin. This signals the same response that an injury would, prompting the production of collagen and elastin—crucial building blocks for maintaining your skin’s health and structure. As your skin heals, it becomes smoother, more even, and has an overall enhanced look.
What to Expect
We pay close attention to your comfort during your appointment for microneedling in Des Moines. The needles are tiny and gently penetrate the layers of your skin.
However, we apply a numbing cream to minimize any discomfort while it works. After treatment, you may notice mild redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn. This should resolve itself in the following days, with your new, radiant skin appearing in 4 to 6 weeks.
Instructions for Care
It is important that you take care of your skin properly after a microneedling treatment. This includes keeping your skin hydrated, applying sunscreen, and avoiding harsh skincare products.
Your Brightside Aesthetics provider will give you in-depth and detailed instructions to help support your skin’s healing process. By following these suggestions, you are making an investment in the longevity of your results.
