Questions?
Does it hurt? Will I bleed?
Apply the numbing cream that is provided to you, one hour before your appointment to ensure a comfortable treatment. Use pieces of saran wrap to cover the skin after the cream has been applied and let it sit. If you need help just ask Annie! The feeling is like a little shock, it is not bad. You will leave your appointment with dotting on the treated areas, but no blood.
How long does it take?
30 minutes for a small area, 1 hour for a larger area. Do your intake form online ahead of time!
Will I need to take off work? Is there any downtime?
There is about 7 days of downtime. If you have sensitive skin, darker/tan skin or are prone to redness or swelling, it may take up to two weeks for the dotting to completely disappear. You are permitted to work, just be warned the dotting and swelling can be dramatic, so you may want to take 2-5 days off if you are worried. The swelling is worse on day 2-3 after treatment. On day 4-5 the dotting begins to crust and shed off. Keep in mind, immediately after treatment your skin will be dotted and micro injured and can feel warm and itchy. You will not be able to be in the sun or apply makeup during your healing process. - full aftercare at the bottom of this page-

How does it work? & What results will I see?
The device is used to create tiny dots or micro injuries on the skins surface. When your body has an injury it enters four highly programmed phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. There is a complex interaction of cellular events that take place after any bodily injury.
​
​​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Hemostasis: The body activates platelets and releases growth factors to start the healing process.
Inflammation: White blood cells kill bacteria, break down dead tissue and secrete more growth factors.
Proliferation: The skin undergoes a process called angiogenesis, where the body produces new tissue and blood vessels. The skin heals and contracts.
Remodeling: Old collagen is broken down while new collagen is produced. The skin rebuilds new tissue, strengthening and balancing the cells.
​
This precise thermal disruption stimulates fibroblast activity, the production of collagen, elastin and new skin cells. Over the next few months the skin will still be rebuilding on a cellular level. Most clients notice a difference right away but progress peaks at about 3 months after treatment. Clients notice significantly tighter skin that sits firmer and more plump. They notice their age spots, freckles and unwanted pigmentation fade away. Clients notice their acne scarring and deep indented wrinkles appear smoothed out.
How long do the results last?
Studies show the results last for 3-5 years.
What are the risks?
Injuries are normally caused by therapists without proper training or knowledge. Holding the device on the skin for too long and/or pushing it too deeply can cause excessive tissue damage. Other risks include skin punctures from the needle, allergic reactions or changes in skin pigmentation. Annie holds an Advanced Aesthetician License and has been certified and trained to preform this service.
Do I need to stop using active ingredients in my skincare before treatment?
Annie will be able to answer any specific questions you have about your current regimen. You will need to be off Retinols, Tretinoin, Clindamycin and other prescribed creams for at least one week. You will need to be off Accutane for atleast 6 months.
What contraindications are there?
This is an anti-aging treatment so younger clients don't find this treatment necessary. Anyone with difficulty healing scars or that keloid easily should not get this treatment. Anyone with bad melasma, lupus, autoimmune disorders or those on Accutane cannot get this treatment. Anyone prone to excessive swelling or allergic reactions should not get this treatment. Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should not get this treatment. Those with herpes/cold sores should take anti-virials prior to treatment. Annie will be able to answer any specific questions.
