Looking for natural anti-aging solutions?

​

Microneedling is now offered at EAST!

​

Microneedling can help address several skin issues related to aging like fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, hyperpigmentation, acne, and hair loss. It can be done safely every 4 weeks. Microneedling works by inducing production of collagen and elastin. It is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that is safe for all skin types. It creates microchannels using medical grade needles to a precise depth (which varies by skin type and area on the face or body) to create a controlled injury to stimulate your skin to repair skin and stimulate hair to regrow. When the microchannels are open, skin care products are able to penetrate to improve the skin even more. Microneedling has been shown to help with texture, pore size, firmness, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne, hair loss and other issues. A series of 3-6 treatments are generally recommended for results that last several years. ​

​

Microneedling and or Nanoneedling are collagen induction treatments that can be used most places on the body, but most often used on scalp, face, neck and decollete to treat signs of aging including wrinkles, lax skin, age spots, but is also effective for hyperpigmentation, acne, hairloss, and scarring. 

There are some important steps to prepare and recover. Please call to see if you are a good candidate. 

​
