Microneedling in Green Bay, WI

Benefits of Microneedling

Enhanced Collagen Production

Microneedling treatment stimulates the production of collagen, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Increased collagen helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The increased collagen and elastin make microneedling a good wrinkle treatment because wrinkles form as collagen production decreases with age.

Improved Skin Texture

The micro-injuries created by microneedling promote smoother skin texture by encouraging cell turnover. This process helps to diminish rough patches and uneven skin surfaces.

Reduction of Acne Scars

Microneedling for acne scars is highly effective, as it breaks down scar tissue and stimulates new, healthy skin growth. This facial scar treatment can provide significant improvement in the appearance of acne scars over time.

Minimized Pore Size

Microneedling helps to tighten and shrink enlarged pores by stimulating the surrounding skin. This results in a more refined and even complexion.

Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products

The microscopic channels created during microneedling allow for deeper penetration of skincare products. This enhances their effectiveness, delivering nutrients and active ingredients more efficiently to the skin.

Even Skin Tone

Microneedling can address hyperpigmentation and sunspots by promoting an even distribution of melanin. This leads to a more uniform skin tone and reduced discoloration.

Reduced Appearance of Stretch Marks

Stretch marks can be significantly diminished with microneedling, as it promotes collagen and elastin production. This helps improve the texture and appearance of stretch marks on various body parts.

Improved Skin Firmness

By stimulating collagen and elastin, microneedling helps to firm and tighten the skin. This is particularly beneficial for areas that have begun to sag due to aging.

Quick Recovery Time

Microneedling involves minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities shortly after the treatment. This makes it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Non-Invasive Treatment

As a non-surgical treatment, microneedling significantly improves skin without incisions or anesthesia. This reduces the risk of complications and promotes faster healing.

What Areas Can Microneedling Treat? 

• Nasolabial Folds: Nasolabial folds, the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth, deepen over time due to repeated expressions and gradual skin elasticity loss. Reduced collagen production can make these folds more prominent, but microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin in this area to provide more volume over time. 
• Around the Eyes: The skin around the eyes is often first to show signs of aging with fine lines and crow’s feet, as it’s thinner and loses firmness faster than other areas. Microneedling in this delicate area promotes collagen growth, strengthening the skin and softening lines for a refreshed appearance.
• Forehead and Frown Lines: Lines across the forehead and the “11 lines” between the brows appear from repeated expressions over time. You can soften these lines by supporting natural skin elasticity through microneedling.
• Jawline: The jawline may lose definition with age as collagen decreases and the skin’s support structure weakens. Microneedling can encourage tighter, firmer skin along the jawline, subtly lifting and refining this area for improved definition.
• Neck: Often exposed to environmental stressors, the neck may develop crepey skin and fine lines that make it appear older. Our treatments can restore resilience and texture to this area, supporting the neck’s natural strength and elasticity for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

SkinPen®: Our Choice for Microneedling

At Ambiance MD Medical Spa, we utilize SkinPen for our microneedling treatments due to its precision, safety, and effectiveness. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen guarantees high safety and efficacy standards. Its advanced technology allows precise control over needle depth and speed, tailoring treatments to individual skin needs. Designed for patient comfort, SkinPen minimizes discomfort during treatments, ensuring a more pleasant experience while delivering effective results.

SkinPen uses sterile, single-use needle cartridges to maintain top hygiene standards and eliminate cross-contamination risks. Clinical studies show SkinPen significantly improves skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. Enhanced safety features and the promotion of natural skin healing lead to gradual, long-lasting improvements.

Improving Your Treatments With PRP and Exosomes

We use PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and exosomes during treatments to leverage this increased absorption. Exosomes stimulate healing, fibroblast production, and cellular regeneration. PRP, derived from the patient’s blood, promotes skin cell proliferation, collagen, and elastin production, enhancing skin restoration.

Magic Microneedling

We enhance the standard treatment with our unique Magic Microneedling, which uses anti-aging injectables and exosomes to address multiple skin concerns. We use hyperdilute RADIESSE®, a collagen-stimulating injectable mixed with saline and a small amount of BOTOX® to smooth lines and wrinkles and add volume, restoring a youthful complexion.

More Information About Our Add-Ons

Hyperdilute Radiesse

Hyperdilute Radiesse is an injectable solution that combines Radiesse—a dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel—with a saline solution. This diluted mixture provides gradual and natural-looking improvements for the texture and quality of the skin. When injected, hyperdilute Radiesse creates a supportive framework in the skin that encourages even more collagen-producing cells to the area. This can extend the anti-aging benefits of microneedling since hyperdilute Radiesse can last for over a year. 

Botox

Botox is a well-known purified protein that is derived from botulinum toxin. It is commonly injected in areas like the forehead or glabellar lines to reduce muscle movement. In Magic Microneedling treatments, a small amount of Botox is blended with hyperdilute Radiesse to provide additional benefits. This can help relax fine lines and wrinkles as you wait for the full collagen-stimulating results of your microneedling treatment. Mixing Botox with hyperdilute Radiesse allows us to address multiple signs of aging in a single treatment.

Exosomes

Exosomes are small vesicles involved in cell communication, serving as carriers for growth factors, proteins, and genetic materials. They are rich in regenerative properties that enhance the skin’s ability to repair and rejuvenate itself. When applied with microneedling, exosomes penetrate deep into the skin through the microchannels created during the treatment. Once absorbed, they stimulate even more collagen and elastin production, accelerate cell turnover, and reduce inflammation.

PRP

PRP is obtained by drawing a small amount of blood from the patient and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from other components. We will usually take the blood from your arm, and the number of vials taken will depend on the treatment. The plasma, now concentrated with platelets, is used during the treatment either topically or through injections. PRP can help your skin heal more quickly after microneedling and reduce redness or irritation after the treatment.

Treating Different Skin Types With Microneedling

Microneedling for Sensitive Skin

For patients with sensitive skin, we prioritize comfort and strategies that minimize irritation. We adjust the depth of the needles for a gentler treatment and may target only the upper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production without causing inflammation. Soothing serums with calming ingredients are applied during the session to further support the skin’s recovery. Patients with sensitive skin benefit from longer intervals between treatments and carefully monitored sessions to build tolerance over time while still achieving visible improvements.

Microneedling for Oily and Acne-Prone Skin

When treating oily or acne-prone skin, we want to help reduce sebum production and refine the skin’s texture. A slightly deeper needle depth may be used to target clogged pores and stimulate deeper skin rejuvenation. We often incorporate treatments like exosomes or PRP during microneedling to accelerate healing and reduce post-treatment inflammation, which can help prevent breakouts. For acne-prone patients, we will recommend treatment plans that allow the skin to recover fully to avoid overstimulating the oil glands. With this treatment, we can promote smoother, clearer skin with a reduction in scars and enlarged pores.

Microneedling for Mature Skin

Patients with mature skin seek microneedling to promote anti-aging benefits such as reduced laxity and minimized lines and wrinkles. For these patients, we focus on deeper penetration to activate fibroblasts and maximize collagen and elastin production. Add-ons such as hyperdilute Radiesse or PRP are often combined with microneedling for aging skin to further enhance the skin’s elasticity and firmness. Treatment plans for mature skin may involve more frequent sessions initially to achieve noticeable improvements, followed by maintenance treatments to sustain results.

Microneedling for Dry or Dehydrated Skin

Dry or dehydrated skin requires extra care to prevent irritation and support hydration during and after the treatment. For these patients, we recommend hydrating products to infuse moisture into the skin through the microchannels created during microneedling. Post-treatment care should focus on moisturizing skin care to lock in hydration and leave the skin revitalized and replenished.

What to Expect From The SkinPen Microneedling Process

When you come in for a SkinPen session, we’ll cleanse your skin to provide a fresh canvas for the treatment and help prevent irritation or infection. Next, we can apply a numbing cream to reduce sensation on the surface of your skin. The SkinPen has 14 medical-grade needles which all penetrate the skin at the same time. We can adjust the depth as we move the pen to different areas of the face. You may feel prickling on the skin, and the levels of discomfort are different for everyone. Make sure to communicate with us during the treatment so we can make adjustments as needed.

Aftercare Tips for Microneedling

After microneedling, it’s important to keep the skin hydrated and protected. Avoid direct sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and harsh skincare products for a few days. Use a gentle cleanser and apply a soothing, hydrating moisturizer as recommended. For a smoother recovery and longer-lasting results, follow these additional tips:

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support your skin’s healing process from within.
• Avoid Makeup for 24 Hours: This allows your skin to breathe and minimizes the risk of irritation or clogging.
• Use Gentle, Fragrance-Free Products: Opt for mild, non-irritating products that are free from fragrances. 
• Skip Exfoliating Products: Avoid retinol, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), or any other exfoliants for at least a week to prevent skin sensitivity.
• Sleep on a Clean Pillowcase: This reduces exposure to bacteria, which is especially important while your skin is healing.

Microneedling and Seasonal Skincare

The best time for this skin treatment is during the fall and winter months when UV exposure is lower. After treatment, your skin is more sensitive to sunlight so it is easier to protect your skin during seasons with less intense sun. If you choose to undergo microneedling in the summer, a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is important, and you’ll need to reapply it every two hours if you’re outdoors. Wide-brimmed hats and other physical sunblocks are also helpful for shielding your skin.

Post-microneedling skin care should adapt to the season. In colder months, focus on thicker moisturizers to prevent dryness as your skin heals. During warmer months, lightweight hydrating products are ideal to avoid clogging pores while still supporting the skin’s repair. Antioxidants like vitamin C can enhance your skin’s defense against environmental damage, no matter the season.

Choosing Professional Microneedling Over At-Home Treatments

Professional microneedling offers precision and results that at-home devices can’t match. Medical tools reach deeper layers to stimulate collagen and promote radiant skin, while at-home devices often lack depth and may cause uneven results or damage. The SkinPen penetrates the skin vertically, unlike derma rollers that use a rolling motion that can potentially tear or damage the skin. The sterile medical environment of professional treatments, the use of single-use tips, and the custom-designed BioSheath reduce the risk of infection—something at-home tools can’t reliably offer.
