MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling Session with Facial Lymphatic Drainage
and Body Acupuncture for Complete Relaxation
This luxurious microneedling session combines advanced skincare techniques with holistic wellness practices to provide a complete relaxation experience while rejuvenating your skin. The session includes facial lymphatic drainage, face massage, thorough cleansing, numbing, body acupuncture, microneedling with hyaluronic acid, and a finishing touch of LED red light therapy.
Session Description:
Facial Lymphatic Drainage:
The session begins with a gentle lymphatic drainage massage for the face. This technique helps reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and prepare your skin for the subsequent treatments.
Face Massage:
Following lymphatic drainage, a soothing face massage is performed. This relaxes facial muscles, enhances blood flow, and further preps your skin for the treatment.
Face Cleansing:
A thorough cleansing routine is conducted to remove any impurities, oils, and makeup from your skin. This ensures that your skin is clean and ready for microneedling.
Numbing Cream Application:
A numbing cream is applied to your face to minimize any discomfort during the microneedling process. The cream needs time to set in, so you can relax comfortably.
Body Acupuncture:
While the numbing cream takes effect, you will receive body acupuncture tailored to promote relaxation and balance your energy. This holistic approach helps ease tension and enhances your overall sense of well-being.
Microneedling with Hyaluronic Acid:
Once the numbing cream has set, the microneedling process begins. Using a device with fine needles, microchannels are created in the skin. Hyaluronic acid is applied during this process to deeply hydrate and plump your skin, promoting a smoother and more youthful appearance.
LED Red Light Therapy:
The session concludes with LED red light therapy. The red light helps speed up the healing process, reduces inflammation, and accelerates collagen production. This final step enhances the overall effectiveness of the microneedling treatment.
Benefits of Microneedling:
Improved Skin Texture: Microneedling stimulates collagen production, resulting in smoother and firmer skin.
Hydration and Plumpness: Hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates the skin, providing a youthful, plump appearance.
Relaxation and Balance: Facial lymphatic drainage, massage, and body acupuncture promote relaxation and overall well-being.
Enhanced Healing: LED red light therapy speeds up the healing process and enhances collagen production.
This session is ideal for individuals seeking a comprehensive skincare treatment that not only improves their skin's appearance but also promotes relaxation and overall health. It is suitable for various skin types and can address concerns like fine lines, uneven texture, and dehydration.
Experience the ultimate in skincare and relaxation with this holistic microneedling session, leaving you with radiant, rejuvenated skin and a sense of complete well-being.
Contraindications:
Microneedling, while beneficial for many, has certain contraindications that need to be considered to ensure safety and effectiveness. Individuals with the following conditions or situations should avoid microneedling:
Active Acne or Infections:
Microneedling should not be performed on skin with active acne, herpes outbreaks, or any other active infections. It can spread bacteria and exacerbate the condition.
Skin Disorders:
Conditions like psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, and severe couperose are contraindications. Microneedling can worsen these conditions and cause further irritation.
Keloid or Hypertrophic Scarring:
Individuals with a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring are at risk of developing new scars from the microneedling process.
Recent Cosmetic Procedures:
Those who have recently undergone procedures such as laser therapy, chemical peels, or other forms of dermabrasion should wait until their skin has fully healed before considering microneedling.
Medications:
People taking blood thinners or medications that can affect the skin’s healing ability should avoid microneedling. Also, those on acne medications like isotretinoin should wait at least six months after stopping the medication before undergoing microneedling.
Skin Cancer:
Individuals with a history of skin cancer or pre-cancerous lesions should avoid microneedling in the affected areas.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
Pregnant or breastfeeding women are advised to avoid microneedling due to the lack of sufficient research on its safety during these periods.
Poor Healing or Chronic Conditions:
Conditions such as diabetes or other chronic illnesses that affect the body’s ability to heal should be considered contraindications.
Inflammatory Skin Conditions:
Any current inflammatory skin condition, such as dermatitis, should be resolved before undergoing microneedling.
Uncontrolled Skin Conditions:
Conditions like lupus or other systemic diseases that can affect skin health are contraindications.
Use of Certain Topical Medications:
Individuals using topical treatments like retinoids should discontinue use at least a few days before and after the procedure to prevent excessive irritation.
Always consult with a healthcare provider or a licensed practitioner to assess individual risks and determine if microneedling is a safe and appropriate treatment option.
