Everyone is on the lookout for new treatments to help them look younger. BOTOX® has dominated for approximately 15 years since the FDA approved it, and laser treatments and fillers joined in with the promise of fresher-looking skin. Recently, micro-needling has been gaining praise as a non-surgical way to achieve a youthful, refreshed appearance. At Pacific Vein Care, we offer this treatment to clients who want to see real results, but as a relatively modern treatment, we also get a lot of questions about the procedure.
How does micro-needling work?
Micro-needling treatment uses a device with small needles that are rolled over your skin to generate regulated punctures. As a result, the skin is triggered to switch to repair mode and rejuvenate itself. The needles used are very tiny when compared to traditional ones, and the devices are so gentle they can be used on delicate areas.
Why choose micro-needling?
When your skin switches to repair mode, it triggers the body to produce collagen and elastin, which are responsible for producing firm plumpness. It also enhances skin texture, minimizes the appearance of scars, reduces stretch marks and generates a younger-looking skin tone.
What can I expect?
The thought of having little needles rolling along your skin may sound horrible. However, the process begins with anesthetization. It’s recommended to use topical cream because it has minimal downtime. Treatment is tailored to suit a patient’s wants and needs.
How many times do I need the treatment?
The specific skin condition being treated determines the number of sessions you may require. Usually, a series of treatment sessions is required in order to achieve the desired results. You may also need to undergo maintenance after every few months or so. What makes this procedure unique is that you can use at-home products to top up the treatment. This device helps increase penetration of skin care ingredients into the skin.
How long does it take to see results?
Boosting production of collagen and elastin takes quite some time. You may start seeing results after multiple months.
When should I avoid micro-needling?
This treatment is used in all skin types and colors. However, avoid using it if you have certain conditions, which we can discuss with you during your consultation.

Thought about you in Hawaii

I can walk to my mail box again
by John Neumann, patient
Category: reviews“I had problems walking to my mail box when I went to Pacific Vein Care. Dr. Conti found I had vein reflux and artery problems in both of my legs. He did his normal vein procedure on one leg and a special procedure at the hospital on the other leg and corrected the artery problems at the same time. I am very happy with the results from the procedures done at Pacific Vein Care to correct both my veins and artery problems. I can walk to my mail box again and not have to stop and rest part way there.”
I am pleased to say my quality of life is back
by Barbara Hoffman, patient
Category: reviews“For thirty Years I have put up with leg pain, throbbing and swelling due to varicose veins. At 63 years old, I made a choice to have Radiofrequency Ablation therapy and I am pleased to say my quality of life is back. I can now take long walks, exercise and stand for long period of time without discomfort. I recently purchased a pair of tall stylish boots and I can actually zip them up because I no longer suffer from edema.”
The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.
by Wayne, patient
Category: reviews“I recently – April/May of 2012 – had VNUS procedures done on my right and left legs. Dr. Conti and his staff were superb in the diagnosis and treatment of my condition. The process was fully explained to me and were virtually pain free. There was some discomfort in the week or two after the procedures which were easily handled by over the counter pain medications. I was impressed with Dr. Conti’s knowledge and professionalism and would recommend anyone waiting to treat their varicose veins NOT to wait. The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.”
