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
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.
Can’t say enough great things about Lyle Plastic Surgery! From the appearance of the office, professionalism and knowledge of their team to the results! Stephanie is an amazing injector! Highly recommend.
Great Experience. Happy with Results! - Very pleased with the service I received here! Dr. Lyle made me feel very comfortable during every visit from the consultation to the post-op visits. He was straight forward with what to expect as well, which I really appreciate. The nurses and office staff was amazing as well! I had a facial done and it was so relaxing! I had a mommy makeover done that included a tummy tuck and breast lift. One year later and I'm very pleased with my results! People ask me who did my work and I proudly recommend him. He was a good fit for me. I'm considering one more procedure! If I decide to proceed I will definitely consult with him!As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.
From the moment we met Dr. Lyle, we knew we had chosen the perfect doctor to perform my daughter’s breast reduction. The entire office and surgical staff was kind and welcoming and calmed her nerves. My daughter absolutely loved Brittany (Dr. Lyle’s nurse) and Haley (Dr. Lyle’s physician assistant). We had a phenomenal experience her day of surgery. As a nurse mom, my standards are high. I felt incredibly comfortable knowing she was in the capable hands of an experienced nurse anesthetist doing her anesthesia (thank you Claire) Dr. Lyle’s has been practicing for nearly 30 years. His experience and expertise put me at ease. He is a true artist. My daughter’s surgery went smoothly and she was absolutely thrilled with her results. Dr. Lyle and his team gave her the gift of self confidence and I cannot thank them enough!
I have, literally, always been self-conscious about the shape of my breasts. Over the years, this got so bad that I started avoiding mirrors when changing, and I truly believed there was nothing that could be done. But, this past August I worked up the courage to speak with a plastic surgeon. After reading his other reviews and looking at his gallery online, I decided to speak with Dr. Lyle in person. It was the best decision I ever made for my self-esteem. Every single person I've had the pleasure of meeting at his office has been an absolute joy. From the cheerful reception staff, to the nurses, to the scheduling team, I was completely at ease and knew I was in good hands. My surgery turned out even better than I'd hoped, and I cannot adequately describe how much this changed my life. If you are thinking about having a breast lift, please give the team a call. And thank you to everyone at the office who gave me back a part of myself I thought I'd lost.
