Science Behind Microneedling
How Microneedling Works
The Microneedling treatment temporarily creates hundreds of micro-channels that allow for superior penetration and diffusion of topicals during and post-procedure without ablation or introduction of thermal energy. Fractionated injuries are a quick, safe, and effective percutaneous collagen induction therapy.
Collagen Induction Therapy
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), or micro needling, is the procedure by which the body’s natural response to healing is used to increase the amount of extracellular matrix such as collagen or elastin in the skin. Microneedling creates micro-channels that allow for leakage of blood, serum, and lymph in a controlled and temporary manner. These “injuries” are enough to initiate the wound-healing cascade. There are three basic phases to illustrate how micro needling works.
Phase One | Inflammation: Activated by piercing the dermal tissue, platelets release cytokines and growth factors which act as signals for the body’s immune system. Neutrophils and macrophages cells are sent in to disinfect the wounds, clear the debris, increase the blood supply (a process called angiogenesis), and begin the creation of fresh, new cellular and extracellular materials (the granulation process).
Phase Two | Proliferation: In this stage, the fibroblasts (cells that make up much of the dermis and create the extracellular matrix) keratinocytes and epidermal cells continue to divide to populate the areas of damage and secrete growth factors and extracellular matrix, such as elastin and collagen.
Phase Three | Remodeling: At this stage, the wound has been replaced with new dermal tissues and the newly formed vasculature is now matured. The collagen in the newly formed tissue is now replaced with the stronger collagen and the tissue contracts to cause a “shrink-wrap” effect of the skin.
The Versatile Design of Microneedling
The depth of the Microneedling needles can be adjusted from .25 mm up to 2.5 mm in length. This variability allows the Microneedling provider to adjust treatments based on the patient’s anatomy (skin thickness) as well as the patient’s need (e.g., more penetration required for acne scarring).
How is great!

UPDATE
by Ron
Category: reviewsI had a form of hyaluronic acid filler in my acne scars Feb 3rd done by Kayla. Just wanted to say that my acne scars are STILL gone. I just looked in the mirror under bad, harsh lighting and my scars are as smooth and undetectable as the day Kayla helped me, and this is after almost a year! I still can't believe it. I'm used to maybe 2 months of correction, but this is unbelievable. Five stars all day.
Lips by Kayla

Category: reviewsI came to Kayla about a year and a half ago with botched lips by a different place and the transformation she did on my lips was beautiful. Now a year and a half later, been to Kayla a ton of times, helped me with my acne, and my lips are perfect. On top of it being so easy to talk too and she is very caring! I would definitely have to say I am very pleased!
Filler and Lip Flip

Category: reviewsBrooke did an excellent job. I thought it did not worked as planned. I was not real clear on the desired outcome. She had me come back and we talked about it and she made a minor adjustment. She is very nice and takes time to figure out what you want, but also gives suggestions if what you want may not be the right thing. I will definitely be using her for everything.
