Microneedling

Microneedling & Nano Needling: Advanced Skincare for Radiant Skin

At Meadow Hill Wellness, we offer two powerful, non-invasive treatments—Microneedling and Nano Needling—to help you achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. These therapies are based on ancient principles of acupuncture and modern dermatological techniques, working together to promote skin rejuvenation, reduce signs of aging, and treat various skin concerns.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a treatment that involves the use of fine, sterile needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

The treatment is often used to improve the appearance of:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scars

• Stretch marks

• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage

• Enlarged pores

• Skin texture and tone

How Does Microneedling Work?

During a microneedling session, a device equipped with fine needles is gently moved across your skin. The needles penetrate the outermost layer of your skin (epidermis) to create controlled micro-injuries. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural repair response, triggering the production of new skin cells, collagen, and elastin. This process helps to:

• Renew the skin’s surface

• Promote even skin tone and texture

• Boost skin elasticity

• Fade scars and discoloration

Because microneedling stimulates the body's natural healing process, it can improve skin health over time, making it a popular choice for those seeking long-term results with minimal downtime.

What is Nano Needling?

Nano Needling is a gentler, non-invasive variation of microneedling that uses even finer needles (often referred to as "nano-needles") to create micro-channels in the skin. Unlike microneedling, nano needling does not puncture the skin deeply but instead creates a superficial pattern that allows skincare products to be absorbed more effectively.

How Does Nano Needling Work?

During a nano needling treatment, a device with ultra-fine, nanometer-sized needles is used to create micro-channels on the skin’s surface. This process enhances the absorption of active skincare ingredients, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin and deliver maximum benefits. Nano needling is ideal for those looking for a less invasive option with minimal discomfort. The treatment is great for:

• Improving skin hydration

• Enhancing the absorption of serums or topical treatments

• Brightening the skin

• Treating fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture

Because the treatment is less aggressive than microneedling, there is virtually no downtime, and it is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Benefits of Microneedling & Nano Needling

Both microneedling and nano needling offer incredible benefits for your skin, helping you achieve a radiant, youthful glow. Here’s a breakdown of the key benefits of each:

Microneedling Benefits:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles: Stimulates collagen and elastin production to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Improves skin texture and tone: Even out skin texture by reducing rough patches, scars, and sun damage.

• Reduces acne scars: Microneedling can significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars and other forms of scarring.

• Minimizes enlarged pores: Helps tighten and refine pores, giving your skin a smoother appearance.

• Promotes overall skin health: Encourages the natural production of collagen, leading to firmer, more youthful skin.

Nano Needling Benefits:

• Enhanced absorption of skincare products: Nano needling improves the penetration of serums, moisturizers, and active ingredients, making them more effective.

• Non-invasive and gentle: Ideal for those with sensitive skin or those looking for a more gentle treatment option.

• Improves skin hydration: Nano needling can help restore moisture balance in the skin, making it feel plumper and more hydrated.

• Brightens and rejuvenates the skin: Helps reduce dullness and uneven skin tone, leaving you with a brighter complexion.

• No downtime: With nano needling, there’s virtually no recovery time, so you can resume daily activities right away.

Which Treatment is Right for You?

Both microneedling and nano needling are effective treatments for improving skin health, but the right choice depends on your skin concerns and goals. Microneedling is best for individuals looking to treat deeper skin issues, such as acne scars, wrinkles, and severe sun damage. It’s ideal for more significant skin rejuvenation, and though there may be some downtime (redness or slight irritation), the results are long-lasting.

On the other hand, nano needling is perfect for individuals who want a more gentle treatment with minimal downtime, and for those looking to enhance the effectiveness of their current skincare routine without any discomfort.

What to Expect During the Treatment

Before your session, we will assess your skin’s needs and discuss your treatment goals. Both microneedling and nano needling treatments are typically well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure. 

After your treatment, you may experience slight redness or sensitivity, which usually resolves within a few hours to a day. Microneedling requires downtime the day of treatment and regular activities can start again after 24 hours. Nano needlingtypically has no downtime, and you can return to your regular activities immediately.

Patients receive AcuLift’s system take-home bags after the first treatment which includes Ageless (face cream infused with stem cell), Superb (hyaluronic acid, collagen, & vitamin C serum), and Calm (arnica infused cooling mist). 

Is Microneedling or Nano Needling Right for You?

Both microneedling and nano needling are excellent options for skin rejuvenation and improving the overall appearance of your complexion. Whether you want to treat acne scars, fine lines, or simply boost your skin’s radiance, these advanced techniques offer safe, effective results.
