Medical Microneedling

Exceed Medical Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin perfecting procedure. Very fine, sterile micro needles create tiny punctures in the skin which promote a natural collagen healing process to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and acne scars.

The Candela Exceed medical micro needling device used at Cirine is FDA-cleared for dual indications of facial wrinkles and facial acne scars.

You may begin to notice results within weeks but full results will be realized within approximately 3 months as your collagen builds and plumps the skin. We recommend 4-6 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, for maximum benefit.

Following the treatment series recommendation and provided post-care protocol will ensure that you receive the best results.

Patients report experiencing brighter, more radiant complexions, and smoother skin texture, along with minimized wrinkles and scarring.

Topical numbing is applied before the treatment so most patients find Exceed microneedling to be painless and enjoyable!

A typical Exceed micro needling treatment will take approximately 1 hour, including time for numbing.

Most patients experience minimal downtime after an Exceed treatment. You can expect effects similar to a sunburn for 1-3 days, with after effects continuing to diminish thereafter.

Following the recommended post-care protocol will help to reduce your downtime and improve your treatment results.

We do not recommend any at-home microneedling devices. Use of such devices carries increased risk of track-mark lines, excessive bruising, micro-tears in the skin, and possible infection and scarring. You may be causing more harm than good.

The providers at Cirine are experienced and trained in medical microneedling and use the industry-leading FDA-cleared Candela Exceed device along with medical-grade, sterile and disposable needle cartridges.

Another benefit of in-office medical microneedling in Chicago is our specially designed post-care protocol and access to our expertise while healing.
