Skintuitive MedSpa’s Advanced Microneedeling and Skin Tightening Protocol for the WIN!
Microneedling and Botox are among the most sought after treatments by patients who are interested in age-reversal.
So is microneedling better than Botox? If you like to make smart SKIN-vestments – the answer is YES! Microneedling addresses many different skin concerns and with every treatment you’ll notice improvement with skin tone, skin texture, skin tightening and skin plumping.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedeling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses fine needles to treat and improve common skin concerns such as:
- Promotes new collagen and elastin production
- Tighter skin
- Fewer lines and wrinkles
- Smaller pore size
- Minimizes scarring
- Improvements in acne
- Improvements in rosacea
- Improvements in texture of the skin
- Reduces sun spots and hyperpigmentation
- Reduces milia and sebaceous hyperplasia
- Reduces broken vessels and telangiectasia
- Reduces stretch marks
- Hydrates and nourishes skin
- Promotes a more radiant and even toned complexion
- Clinical studies prove that Microneedling is a viable treatment indications such as post-surgery scars, stretch marks, and it even promotes new hair regrowth on the scalp and beard areas with use of a hair growth serum. ⛔️It will not cause hair growth without the use of the hair growth serum.
Microneedling works by creating tiny, superficial punctures, activating your body’s natural healing processes that produce improvement with skin tone, skin tightening, skin texture and plumping.
These tiny needles penetrate your skin from 0.25 millimeters to 1.75 millimeters in depth, depending on what type of skin concern that is being addressed. It sounds a lot scarier than it is! The micro-channels are so thin that they cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Your body responds with an accelerated healing boost by creating new capillaries that work to improve blood flow and the skin’s nutrient supply, and it enhances your smooths texture and strengthens and thickens skin structure. There are virtually no adverse reactions post-procedure.
This treatment can technically be used all over the body to increase elasticity and some patients request face, neck, chest, hands, knees elbows, etc.
These are some other shocking truths about Botox:
- Botox contains dangerous carcinogens
- Elements of the neurotoxin end up in the brain stem. Long term use has not been adequately tested on humans.
- Cost – Botox injections cost an average of $350 per treatment and this can go upwards of $500 to $700 depending on the area size, severity of lines, and muscle strength of the area being treated – these factors determine how many units are needed. Providers also take into consideration how “frozen” a patients is wanting to look.
On the other hand, Microneedling procedures cost an average of $250 to $400 per treatment. Skintuitive MedSpa’s cost starts at $150 per treatment. Saving thousands of dollars choosing Microneedling procedures as opposed to Botox definitely adds up over time.
- The Botox industry is designed to keep patients coming back every 3 to 4 months – for life. This is not sustainable and this is not a sound investment.
- With long term use, Botox permanently atrophies the muscle, often compromising facial structural foundation causing permanent muscle function damage – the muscle groups will eventually stop functioning. This can be very dangerous because it has a negative effect on facial muscular infrastructure that holds everything up.
- Botox primary ingredient, botulinum toxin, limits muscle movement, which prevents the formation of fine lines altogether. While it is a quick miracle against crow’s feet and glabella and forehead lines, it fails to address a whole other range of skin concerns.
Microneedling is the most diverse treatment that is used for a variety of purposes.
Flexibility of Use
Botox is an injectable that mainly addresses fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling, can also be supplemented with nutrient-rich serums and acids that produce accelerated rejuvenation results. Skintuitive MedSpa offers a variety of innovative skin boosting serums and infusion upgrade options.
Options include: Permanent Pore Shrink Serum, Exosome Therapy, Stemfactor Serum, Antioxidant Peptide Serum, Growth Factor Serum, Peptide Glow Serum, Zit Zipper Serum, PRP, and Meluma Chemical Peel.
Results
Results from Botox may show up fast but it comes at the cost of looking natural. There is a potential for patients to have the unnatural “frozen” look, which can be very noticeable.
*Most holistic-minded patients prefer Microneedeling over Botox because they don’t want to have such noticeable results. Having no facial movement or expression is not ideal for most patients.
In contrast, Microneedling results are immediate but don’t produce unnatural changes to your appearance. Patients see a gradual improvement on their skin texture and complexion 3 to 4 weeks after the procedure, without going through the radical and unnatural phase that the majority of Botox patients do. Plus, Microneedling results continue to improve for up to 6+ months after each procedure!
Again, needless to say, not everyone is excited about the idea of injecting a foreign substance into their bodies if they don’t have to. Also Botox is only effective on dynamic muscles, those that are created by movement (Ex. crow’s feet and forehead lines). These are some of the reasons why Microneedling is steadily gaining popularity, and why more beauty enthusiasts are booking Microneedling instead of Botox.
Sustainability & Safety
We strongly advise you NOT to try Microneedeling at home! Getting the best results requires professional training, proper technique, knowledge of skin conditions and histology, treatment depth, and medical-grade skin care products. Ensuring your safety requires specific operation protocols along with careful disinfection and cleaning.
Deeper is not always better! If we microneedle at too deep of a level in a fragile area like an under eye area, you can destroy the valuable fat pad – causing deep under eye hallows which makes people appear older.
If you buy a home microneedeling roller or device – it’s not the same thing and won’t give you the same results. Derma rollers only reach a .25mm depth and they cannot be adjusted to specific higher depths that are required for tightening the skin and reducing pore size. The other problem is that the rolling motion snags the skin and causes small lacerations, become a host of bacteria which can cause infection and spread active acne.
What Are the Main Benefits of Microneedling vs Botox?
Here are the specific reasons why you may want to consider Microneedling instead of or in addition to Botox:
Microneedling Boosts Collagen Production
Botox works by temporarily freezing muscle movement which effectively prevents the formation of fine lines and softens wrinkles. Botox does not induce the production on new collagen and elastin – but Microneedeling does!
Fewer Side Effects and Little to No Downtime
Botox often causes an unnatural look along with possible “eyelid drooping”. Microneedling is compatible with all skin types and can be adjusted to different configurations for specific skin conditions. Providers can customize your treatment depending on your skin’s needs. Redness and minor swelling subside within 24 hours of treatment.
What age is good for advanced microneedling?
It is a good idea to start advanced microneedling at almost any age but the earlier the better. It’s THE best preventative collagen-induction treatment for the cost. For younger patients, we can put the aging process on pause where hopefully our patients don’t ever feel like they need Botox later in life. Teen and adolescent patients will notice significant shrinking of pore size, improvement with acne, acne-induced scars, hyperpigmentation and a great side effect of preventive skin firming and tightening.
Our treatment plans at Skintuitive MedSpa are based on classic techniques infused with regenerative modern innovation. We have a contemporary take on the traditional medical spa environment. We offer a wide range of skin rejuvenation treatments.
Our mission as a holistic MedSpa is to create awareness and change the direction of traditional practices that can often accelerate the aging process and cause permanent DNA damage to the skin.
Treatment plans like excessive Botox, deep burning the skin with laser treatments, excessive chemical peels and combinations of these can actually accelerate the aging process and cause irreversible DNA damage and many other problems.
Instead, our approach to age-reversal
is renewing the focus of safe dermal remodeling, re-establishing the skin’s nutrient supply, strengthening the skin barrier and DNA repairability, improving circulation and blood flow, and increase detoxification. We coach our patients on holistic longevity practices such as nutrition optimization, microbiome healing, recognizing toxic exposures, and clean living.
For younger patients who are looking for preventative youth-preservation treatments, and, for mature patients who are looking to correct and reverse signs of aging, we have your permanent solutions!
With a focus on skin health treatments, Skintuitive MedSpa’s safe, permanent collagen-induction protocols are designed to produce comprehensive outcomes. We can improve skin laxity, lines/deep wrinkles, shrink pore size, and eliminate sun damage, moles, milia, and skin tags in just a few treatment.
That’s what makes our custom treatment plans the best SKIN-vestment.
