Microinfusion

FAQ

Microinfusion vs. Microneedling

The two treatments can often be confused with one another as the technique is similar to handheld needling devices. Both create microchannels to stimulate collagen and deliver specific products. Both of these treatments are highly popular and effective.

Microinfusion

• Beauty treatment

• Uses 20 ultra-fine hollows, 24k gold needles (thinner than a human hair)

• Creates microchannels on the top layer of skin to accelerate the body’s natural healing process - resulting in a brighter and healthier complexion

• Manually stamping a beauty elixir of Botox, fillers, antioxidants, and Hyaluronic Acid into the skin

• Essentially no downtime

• Nearly immediate results after your treatment with a glowing and refreshed complexion

Microneedling​​​​​​​

• Corrective treatment

• Uses 14 needles

• Creates thousands of microchannels with a SkinPen device into deeper layers of the skin to accelerate the body’s natural healing process - resulting in tissue repair and regeneration.

• Exosomes applied to the skin to enhance facial benefits

• Often requires 24 hours of downtime after treatment

• Results vary by individual - with some noticing benefits after the first session, and others requiring a series of 3 treatments​​

​​​​​​​How long does it last?​​​​​

The short-term skin benefits are meant to last anywhere from three to six months, thanks to the brightening antioxidants, hyaluronic acid filler to plump and hydrate, and Botox to tighten while reducing redness, oil production, and pore size.

The long-term benefits will come from the tiny needles stamping into the skin, which stimulates your own natural collagen production.

Who is a candidate for this treatment?​​​​​​​

Nearly anyone can be a good candidate for a microinfusion facial. It works on patients of varied ages and skin tones. If you have an acne breakout, you'll need to wait until it subsides in order to do the treatment. Additionally, if you are pregnant or nursing you should first consult with your doctor to decide which of the potential ingredients, if any, are appropriate for you currently.

Does it matter if I have dry or oily skin?​​​​​​​

Your skin will feel dryer and tighter thanks to the Botox as it relaxes your sebaceous glands making this a favorite for people with oilier skin. If you have dry skin, skipping the Botox may be an option for you, otherwise a great moisturizer will do the trick if you elect to keep Botox in the mix.

Will it help with acne scarring?​​​​​​​

It's likely not the right treatment for somebody who's dealing with a lot of acne scarring or deeper fine lines and wrinkles. There are other great treatment options to address those concerns such as microneedling or Tixel resurfacing.
