The AnteAGE® Growth Factor Microneedling solution truly maximizes and optimizes the performance of a micro-needling treatment. The combination of the needles' mechanism of action and topically applied bone marrow stem cell growth factors and cytokines work to amplify the message between the skin cells, instructing them to heal, regenerate, produce collagen, and reduce inflammation, unlike any other micro-needling treatment. See results twice as fast as traditional Microneedling.
Growth Factor Microneedling creates a controlled wound response in the skin, which triggers a natural healing process and helps to build healthier, more vibrant skin.
This triggers a response in the skin, stimulating skin cells to increase collagen production. It is this collagen production that builds the architecture of the skin, allowing for such great results.
It also helps to clear scarring and pigmentation issues by encouraging the growth of healthy new skin cells and improving overall skin texture.
By promoting collagen production and skin cell turnover, GF Microneedling helps to smooth out rough skin texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
There is minimal down-time with Growth Factor Microneedling. The skin typically has some mild erythema for up to three days but no significant redness. You may feel dry following the procedure, so extra moisture is recommended, but makeup can be worn as early as the next day.
Experience a pain-free microneedling session with our highly potent numbing cream. Our 10.56% lidocaine formulation provides maximum strength pain relief, ensuring your comfort and relaxation throughout the treatment. Included with every microneedling treatment!

With the proper precautions and care, Microneedling is a safe and effective option for improving the health and appearance of sensitive skin.
Most people need between 3-6 sessions of Growth Factor Microneedling to achieve their desired end result. This depends on what we are trying to correct, the severity of that concern, and how they are taking care of their skin at home.
Yes, but we will require a note from your doctor before proceeding with the treatment.
The most common risks associated with Microneedling include redness, swelling, and minor irritation of the skin. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days following the treatment. In rare cases, more serious complications such as infection, hyperpigmentation or scarring can occur, particularly if proper pre and post-care instructions are not followed.
Microneedling sessions should be spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
You will see results from Microneedling typically start showing up around 1 week after your treatment but it will take up to 4 weeks to see the full results. Even after that 4 weeks is up your skin will still have increased collagen production for up to 1 year.
To prepare for a Microneedling treatment you should stop using exfoliating ingredients like AHA's, BHA's, Retinol and Benzoyl Peroxide 5 days prior to your appointment. You should also avoid direct sunlight and be diligent with your sunscreen, re-applying every 2 hours. Please contact us if you have any questions.
