The microneedle is a super small needle that is designed to inject filler very discreetly. We use these especially for our filler in the face due to the needed extra precision for a more desirable end result. The microneedle can be used for a variety of techniques.
At Aesthetic Skin MD Anil Shah in Chicago, one of the techniques that uses microneedles can be for lips. For patients who want fuller or differently shaped lips, we often implement a level one and level two microneedle technique.
Level one will greatly improve your lips. An added bonus to using microneedles is since the needle is so small, we find most patients have minimal discomfort with this approach. Another advantage of using a microneedle is that because the needle is so small, the filler goes in exactly where we want it to go with the chance of migration drastically reduced.
The second technique that microneedles are used for in our office is, for tracing out discrete lines. When using these microneedles, we can inject and treat dynamic and discrete lines throughout the face. Microneedles are offered exclusively at Aesthetic Skin MD.
