Skin Stylus in Raleigh, NC

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 needs to create controlled, tiny, micro injuries. These “injuries” create collagen and elastin production, which are essential to youthful, healthy skin.

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.

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!

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.
