Answer: Yes, it is safe. Profound will not have any negative effects on fillers nor Botox, however the procedure is painful, with a long downtime.
* In addition, treatments such as microneedling that stimulate your natural healing process can disperse dermal fillers and cause the material to be absorbed more quickly by the body.
Therefore, most of the time it is best to wait around two weeks between filler injections and microneedling. Some exceptions can exist if the filler is an area not treated by microneedling. This is best discussed during your appointment.
Answer: Microneedling and Botox/Fillers
There are no negative impacts when treating with Microneedling and Botox or Fillers. It is common in our practice to do a combination of these treatments on the same day.
Combining microneedling and Botox is often done together to achieve optimal results for each client. It's safe as long as the client waits for two weeks after the Botox treatment so that the injectable has already “settled” in the treatment area before the microneedling procedure.
In the short term, lines can appear worse for the first few days after a treatment due to transepidermal water loss (TEWL). You can reassure your clients that any wrinkle that develops quickly is not due to loss of structural integrity and it is temporary.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, actually stimulates the body to produce more collagen rather than breaking down the collagen that is already there. This treatment reverses many signs of aging, including early signs of skin laxity, fine lines and dull skin tone.
Microneedling is safe for almost anyone. The only contraindications are for those who currently have acne, infections, or wound-healing issues.
When the dermal filler wears off, your skin reverts to its original appearance or drops some of its former elasticity. On the other hand, micro-needling works with a patient's natural growth factors to strengthen & add volume to the skin so that it can keep improving over time.
Sun exposure speeds up the aging process on the skin and is one of the leading causes of wrinkles. Those UV rays can also cause certain fillers to break down faster and being absorbed by the body more quickly. To get the best results, use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day.
The speed of your metabolism will greatly affect how long your treatment results last. In addition, cosmetic fillers tend to last longer in areas with less movement. Frequent movement can cause the material to break down faster and diminish the longevity of your results.
Hydration can help extend the life of your fillers and injections, especially hyaluronic acid-based injections. Hyaluronic acid loves water, so the more hydrated you stay and the more moisturizer you use, the better. Aim for eight glasses of water a day and remember to apply a moisturizing lotion day and night.
Massage can encourage the filler to be broken up by the body more quickly. But in practice this still takes a long time (like weeks of daily vigorous massage) to improve the outcome. This may also spread the product over a larger area causing more problems.
People with higher metabolisms will experience shorter filler results because their bodies will break the filler compound down faster than those with slower metabolisms. The same goes for other treatments such as BOTOX® and Dysport®.
Kim Kardashian gave her millions of followers a candid look at her latest procedure. On Wednesday, The Kardashians star shared a picture of her stomach after getting the Morpheus8 Body, microneedling + RF treatment, which was used to tighten her abdomen.
Because this kind of treatment is going to give your skin so many benefits, it is worth the money. And, when compared to other types of treatments and procedures that can offer the same type of results, this one is going to more inexpensive than most other options.
It depends on the severity of the skin issue you're looking to fix, Dr. Nazarian says. "If your skin is generally fine and you take care of it, you can microneedle every three to six months," she says. "But someone with dramatic acne scarring should plan to do one session per month for four to six months."
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, rough skin tone and texture. Microneedle treatments have been shown to increase skin thickness and raise collagen and elastin levels, thus reversing some of the effects of aging.
Micro-needling is an anti-ageing procedure that involves making micro-punctures in the skin to induce skin remodelling by stimulating the fibroblasts responsible for collagen and elastin production. It can be applied to the skin of the face, neck, and cleavage.
This triggers your body's wound healing processes to heal your micro wounds immediately. However, the most dramatic results will not be visible until four to six weeks after treatment. It takes roughly this long for your body to create new, strong, healthy collagen.
While it can work wonders at improving acne scars, microneedling can actually spread bacteria in the skin, making breakouts worse. Pin point bleeding isn't uncommon. According to Dr. Shafran, it's normal for there to be some pinpoint bleeding on the skin from having the needles inserted into the skin.
CAN I COMBINE MICRONEEDLING TREATMENTS WITH FILLER OR OTHER INJECTIONS? We recommend scheduling filler or other injections, such as Botox® or Dysport® at least one week prior to your microneedling treatment, or one week after.
How Often Should You do Microneedling Treatments? As a general rule of thumb, microneedling treatment can be safely done about once a month or every 4 to 6 weeks.
Fortunately for the people worried about this happening, this isn't an effect of these treatments. Most of what you may mistake for wrinkles is actually your skin recovering after your microneedling session, with the skin tightening treatment taking hold days or hours after your skin treatment.
