Microneedling in NYC
Microneedling in NYC is a minimally invasive treatment to stimulate natural collagen production in skin cells by creating micro-injuries with a specialized device. This regenerative treatment is also called collagen induction therapy, as it triggers natural collagen production, improving skin volume, elasticity, and firmness. RF microneedling is even more effective in smoothing and plumping the skin for more dramatic results.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a regenerative treatment, leading to skin rejuvenation from within. The skin has a natural healing capacity. When injured, it responds by creating natural collagen. The micro-injuries created by our advanced microneedling device sends a message to the skin to produce natural collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, healthier skin. When combined with RF technology, the results are even more remarkable. We advise you to undergo a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, followed by yearly or bi-yearly maintenance treatments, along with physician-grade skincare products.

At Alinea Medical Spa in NYC, we focus on providing a superior patient experience. During your treatment, you will be resting comfortably on a treatment bed. Your skin will be numbed with a topical anesthetic for your comfort. The device is then passed over the skin surface, with extra attention to the areas suffering from lines, wrinkles, and thinning skin.

Following microneedling, you should not experience any serious downtime. Your skin will appear redder, and you may have pinpoint bleeding, but these side effects fade quickly. You may experience some itching (the body healing), minor flaking, and some minor marks left from the needles that can be hidden with makeup.
