Uneven texture, acne scars, and fine lines can call for a treatment that reaches beyond everyday skincare. Luxura Med Spa offers microneedling in Chicago, with a consultation to assess your skin and discuss realistic improvement.
How Microneedling Works
A microneedling device creates small, controlled punctures in the skin. This stimulates a healing response and can improve the appearance of selected scars and wrinkles. Treatment depth, device choice, and the condition being treated all affect the plan.
Choosing the Right Treatment for Your Skin
Acne scarring, active acne, and pigmentation are different concerns. Your provider should assess which is present rather than treating every mark the same way. Discuss a history of raised scars, cold sores, skin infections, medications, and recent procedures before treatment.
Recovery and Aftercare
Redness, swelling, sensitivity, and pinpoint bleeding can occur. Less common complications include infection, scarring, and pigment changes. Ask for specific guidance on sun protection, cleansing, makeup, and products to avoid while healing. Do not assume that applying an additional serum or growth factor with microneedling is an FDA-reviewed combination.
Questions About Microneedling
How many sessions are needed?
A series may be suggested depending on the concern and response. Your provider can discuss spacing, reassessment, and the total estimated cost.
Is standard microneedling the same as RF microneedling?
No. Radiofrequency microneedling adds heat delivered through a device and has a different risk profile. Ask which treatment is being recommended.
