5 Ways To Get Your Skin Holiday-Ready With Microneedling
If your skin is looking a bit dry, dull, or damaged, there’s still time for a refresh before the holidays are in full swing. Microneedling offers a smoother texture, brighter tone, and a healthy holiday glow.
Below are five ways to use microneedling to get your skin holiday-ready, so you can take memorable festive photos with confidence.
Schedule an appointment with Dr. Qureshi or Laura Canada, NP, at Creekside Wellness in Cypress, Texas, to learn which anti-aging treatments are best suited for you.
Microneedling basics
Microneedling at Creekside Wellness uses innovative Lutronic Genius® technology and tiny sterile needles to make micro punctures in your skin, triggering your body’s healing process and new skin cell growth.
Microneedling helps produce:
- Smaller pores
- Smoother and tighter skin
- Enhanced skin texture
- Fewer fine lines and wrinkles
- Even-toned tissues
- Reduced scarring and/or stretch marks
- Thicker head of hair
- Less excessive sweating
- Younger appearance
As the treated areas heal, new skin cells appear healthier, firmer, and younger-looking. No downtime is required.
Maximizing microneedling for a holiday-ready glow
Consider the following tips to prepare for successful microneedling to achieve a pre-holiday refresh:
1. Prepare for microneedling properly
Meet with one of our Creekside Wellness experts to prepare for microneedling procedures.
You might be asked to apply a vitamin cream to your skin about a month before the procedure to maximize the process of new collagen formation. It’s also crucial to avoid unprotected sun exposure.
For planning purposes, ask us how long your procedure will last, as it could take 15-30 minutes up to an hour or longer, depending on the size of the areas treated.
2. Ask about platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and serums
To further boost skin cell regeneration after microneedling, ask Dr. Qureshi or Laura if you’re a candidate for PRP (sourced from your own blood) or nourishing serums applied to your skin during microneedling treatment sessions.
This will depend on your goals, your skin type, and the condition of your skin.
3. Protect your skin from the sun
It’s important to protect your skin from the sun before and after microneedling to get your skin fully holiday-ready and achieve the best outcome. Sun damage can hinder your results and lead to additional signs of aging, particularly lines, wrinkles, roughness, and skin spots.
Use sunscreen and protective clothing to keep your skin healthy.
4. Allow time for healing
Don’t wait until right before the holidays are in full swing to undergo microneedling, as your skin needs a chance to heal to achieve your treatment’s full benefits. Your skin may be a bit swollen and red for several days after microneedling, with mild scabbing, dryness, or flaking in some cases.
You can often wear makeup a day or two after the procedure with the okay from us. The full results of microneeding often appear after several months.
5. Make time for several treatment sessions
Plan your skin revitalization journey well before the holidays approach to achieve the most dramatic results. Many people require multiple microneedling treatments spaced 3-8 weeks apart to achieve superior outcomes.
Our team helps determine how many treatment sessions to expect to reap the full benefits of microneedling.
Combine multiple anti-aging treatments
To maximize wellness and anti-aging before the holidays, you might be a candidate for multiple cosmetic and nutritional treatments at Creekside Wellness.
Meet with Dr. Qureshi or Laura to learn if you’re a candidate for Botox®, dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, or other cosmetic options.
Our holistic practice also offers intravenous (IV) therapy, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), weight management, and skin-nourashing vitamin supplements.
