Frequently asked questions on Microneedling.

What are the benefits of a microneedling treatment?

FTT Microneedling Treatment technique involves using multiple tiny, sterile needles to puncture the skin and cause a controlled physical trauma to your skin.   This trauma prompts the dermis, a deeper layer of skin, to rebuild.  Microneedling increases the production of collagen and other healing factors by causing trauma to the skin.  Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, with a firm, smooth, and stretchy texture.  Many of the condiitons we treat are caused by a decline of collagen in the skin.  FTT Microneedling Treatment is not a quick fix, as it involves the growth of new skin. It can take several months for a person to see the full results of the procedure.

Downtime?
