Contact UsAbout Skin Stylus
Often called Collagen Induction Therapy, this minimally invasive treatment activates your body’s natural healing process and is quickly becoming a favorite among medical professionals, estheticians, and skincare fanatics. It uses small needles to create controlled, tiny, micro injuries. These “injuries” create collagen and elastin production, which are essential to youthful, healthy skin. At Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center in Raleigh North Carolina, we also offer radiofrequency microneedling with the Cynosure Lutronic Genius RF device. . This is a little bit more involved but delivers energy along with the microneedles which accelerates some of the skin tightening. SkinStylus™ treatments have a little less down time and are a little bit more comfortable although not quite as powerful
Ideal Candidate
SkinStylus is suitable for all ages and most skin types. It is FDA cleared for the correction of acne scarring, fine lines, volume loss, and scars. All patients will have a consultation with one of our medical providers prior to treatment to determine if you are a candidate for SkinStylus as there are certain contraindications such as active acne and other skin conditions.
Procedure Technique
Once before photos are taken to establish your baseline, a thorough cleanse is performed followed by a topical anesthetic application for 30-45 minutes. Once confirmed that the treatment area is sufficiently numbed, the microneedling will begin. Your provider will determine the number of passes and the appropriate needle depth. Once the treatment is completed a peptide rich serum is applied to accelerate the healing process. Your provider will once again review aftercare instructions and schedule your four week follow up.
What to Expect
There is minimal discomfort with SkinStylus and the topical numbing will prevent any unnecessary pain. There are additional oral pain relief options available, but these are rarely needed for SkinStylus Microneedling due to the shallow nature of the treatment. Redness, dryness, and soreness are all common several days post procedure. However, the majority of patients are back at work the next day!
FAQs
1. How is SkinStylus™ different than other microneedling devices?
SkinStylus™ uses advanced nano needling technology, which employs smaller needles at a shallower depth offering a gentler approach and is suitable for all skin types and promotes faster healing. It is the only FDA cleared microneedling device approved for both the face and abdomen. It is helpful for treating stretch marks of the abdomen.
2. Is there any down time?
SkinStylus™ requires 24-48 hours of down time usually when your skin looks somewhat red and sun avoidance is mandatory.
3. Will I need to be numb?
Because nanoneedling penetrates superficially less numbing time is required. Our aesthetician will numb you for 30 minutes before treatment. Many patients report a quick in comfortable procedure.
4. How many treatments do I need to see results?
3-4 treatments spaced- three to six weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
5. Can other add-ons such as exosomes be applied during microneedling?
Yes, exosomes, PRP and even nucleotide therapy such as salmon DNA and RNA ( Rejuran®) can be applied to enhance the effect of the microneedling.
Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center Reviews
I saw Kat for a chemical peel and had an amazing experience. She was very consultative and explained the treatment and what to expect in great detail. I got a VI peel for my acne and I think it definitely helped! I experienced a lot of peeling as pictured but by like day 7-9 I was good to go!
WOW! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lyle and his team! I had a breast augmentation done last month and the entire experience has been nothing short of wonderful! I was nervous beginning this journey, but Dr. Lyle and everyone at his practice made me feel very comfortable and were so supportive from start to finish. I honestly wish I could do it all over again! Dr. Lyle is very calming, listens to his patients, and truly is an artist at what he does! I have had several people ask me who my surgeon was and of course I am proud and excited to tell them Dr. Lyle and his wonderful team at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center! I could not be happier with the results! My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner!! I am an RN and had pretty high standards beginning this process but Dr. Lyle and his team far exceeded them! The office is absolutely beautiful as well, even my husband commented on how relaxed he felt sitting in the waiting room. They have an awesome Instagram page too with really good information and education about different types of procedures, aesthetic treatments, surgeries, etc. The whole experience has me wanting to become an aesthetic nurse! Thank you to Dr. Lyle and his incredible team!!
Team is amazing, surgery perfect, realistic expectations and after care. Had three consultations before hand. Made the right choice with Dr.Lyle! (Tummy tuck)
I had a fantastic experience at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics! From start to finish, the staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. I got lip fillers and the entire process was smooth and comfortable. My aesthetic nurse, Haley took the time to understand my goals and delivered beautiful, natural-looking results. I’m beyond happy with my experience and will definitely be returning for future treatments. Highly recommend!
Dr. Lyle and his staff members are amazing! While visiting his office, I met with an esthetician, financial advisor, nurses, PA's and Dr. Lyle himself. Every experience at this office has been fantastic, everyone is so nice and kind. I had a tummy tuck performed and my stomach looks better than it did in high school! I am so pleased with the outcome...and so is my husband 😊! I would highly recommend Dr. Lyle and will be returning for anything I might need in the future.
