Microneedling
Missoula at Gem Aesthetics & Wellness
We use SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is the use of a medical grade device to make small controlled punctures into the dermis and epidermal layers in order to stimulate the body to make more collagen and elastin. The procedure can improve the appearance of pores, fine lines, scars and stretch marks. Depending on your skin condition and desired outcome, an initial series of three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks is recommended. Deeper lines and scars often require 5-7 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
Downtime is minimal with reddened skin, much like a sunburn, for approximately 24-48 hours. Add on topical PRF (platelet rich fibrin) for ultimate skin rejuvenation in a signature Gem Skin Facial!
