Microneedling in Orland Park & Elmhurst, IL

SkinPen microneedling at JEM Med Spa is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates the skin's natural healing process. This non-invasive procedure uses microscopic needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production. SkinPen is effective in improving skin texture, reducing scars, and enhancing overall skin tone.

SkinPen microneedling can be performed on various areas of the face and body, including:

• Face (for fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars)
• Neck (for tightening and smoothing)
• Décolletage (to improve skin texture and tone)

How much does microneedling cost?
During your consultation, a skilled team member will perform a skin analysis and then develop your unique plan. We will then discuss your treatment costs and what to expect during the procedure. JEM Medspa frequently offers discounts on treatment packages, so be sure to ask about our current deals during your appointment.

Can I combine other treatments with microneedling?
During the microneedling process, channels are created in your skin, making it easier for treatments to penetrate the lower layers. That's why microneedling is frequently combined with other treatments, like special serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). In your initial consultation, we will discuss what treatments would enhance your microneedling and which can help your skin's health.

How many treatments are recommended for optimal results?
Typically, patients get 3 – 6 treatments to receive their best results. However, the number of treatments you require will depend on your skin's condition and goals. Microneedling may be done every 4 – 6 weeks as needed. During your initial consultation, our team can estimate how many treatments you will need based on your skin and goals. Once your skin goals are reached, we suggest receiving maintenance sessions about twice a year.

Is microneedling safe for everyone?
For the most part, microneedling is appropriate for all skin types and tones. Skin injuries created by microneedling are so minor there are very few side effects after the treatment. Microneedling can be applied to most areas of skin, including the face, arms, neck, thighs, chest, and lower legs. Microneedling is not recommended if you have been on Accutane recently or have an open wound, active skin infection, or herpes simplex. In addition, you may not be able to get microneedling if you're pregnant, nursing, or getting radiation therapy.

What exactly is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure to tighten and rejuvenate your skin. Collagen is a fibrous protein that helps your skin stay supple, smooth, and tight. Eventually, your natural supply of collagen is reduced, and your skin becomes thin and loses elasticity. Microneedling causes small wounds in your skin. These micro-injuries force your skin to increase its collagen production and generate new skin cell growth. After a short recovery period, your skin is firmer, brighter, and healthier.

What is the downtime after microneedling?
Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for about 24 – 48 hours. Peeling and slight flaking may occur over the next few days, but makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours.
