Transform Sun-Damaged Skin with the Power of Microneedling
At Essential Medicine, we specialize in transforming sun-damaged skin into a radiant, healthy complexion. Over time, sun exposure can create dark spots, uneven pigmentation, and the loss of vital collagen, leading to wrinkles, crepey skin, and the deepening of scars. These effects often make skin appear older and duller, but they don’t have to be permanent. Microneedling is incredibly effective for repairing sun damage by promoting skin cell turnover and stimulating collagen production. This non-invasive treatment works to fade hyperpigmentation, smooth out rough texture, and rejuvenate your skin’s overall appearance. Unlike harsh chemical peels or lasers, micro-needling gently restores your skin’s health from within, leaving you with a brighter, more even complexion. If you’re looking to reverse the effects of sun exposure, our microneedling protocols offer a natural, safe, and long-lasting solution.
Natural-Looking Radiance
Microneedling works with your body’s own regeneration process to create new healthy layers of skin tissue, resulting in a natural look unlike lasers, peels, and fillers.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By boosting collagen, and renewing the skin, microneedling can profoundly reduce fine lines and wrinkles and turn black the clock on your skin.
Minimizes Acne Scars and Other Scars
Microneedling effectively softens the appearance of acne scars, traumatic scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks by repairing the deep layers of tissue, under the surface of your skin.
Safe for All Skin Types and Tones
Unlike lasers which can be dangerous for some skin types, such as darker pigmented skin, microneedling is effective and safe for all skin tones.
Reduces Signs of Aging on the Neck and Décolleté
We know microneedling works great on the face, but it also works wonders on wrinkles and skin laxity the delicate areas of the neck and chest.
Boosts Collagen Production
Our advanced microneedling protocols stimulate natural collagen and elastin to not improve your skin’s firmness and elasticity, but also your skin’s overall health and vitality.
Reduces Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage
You don’t have to live forever with a punishment from your love of sunshine. Healing dark spots, discoloration, and collagen loss from sun damage with microneedling is our specialty.
Treats Melasma Safely
We use microneedling techniques to treat melasma that are not only far gentler, but also far more effective than lasers or chemical peels.
Shrinks Pores
Microneedling is absolutely fantastic for refining, shrinking, and tightening pores resulting in smooth, beautiful, healthy, and youthful skin.
Long-Lasting Results
Because microneedling causes the generation of new layers of fresh, healthy collagen from deep under the surface, results do not fade like other treatments.
