Help Aging and Damaged Skin Look New Again - Align Health offers Botox and Microneedling
Would you like to improve the appearance and texture of your skin without going under the knife? You can with microneedling treatment at Align Health.
This safe, effective, minimally invasive procedure helps improve skin tone by jump-starting new production of collagen.
How Does Microneedling Work?
During the cosmetic procedure, a member of our team will use a roller or pen-shaped device with miniscule needles that prick tiny holes in the targeted area. Your body’s reaction to these micro-wounds is to produce more collagen and elastin, which results in a younger appearance.
Microneedling benefits both women and men by brightening facial tone and smoothing the texture of skin. It is also used to address:
- Discoloration, whether from sun damage or pigmentation conditions
- Scars (but not keloids)
- Enlarged pores
- Dull, lackluster or wrinkled skin
Is It Effective?
The effectiveness of this treatment is well-documented, with studies showing a 60-80 percent improvement in fine wrinkles, stretch marks, loose skin, and indented facial scars. According to a recent study, microneedling improved mild to moderate rosacea in 81% of participants. However, the procedure is not recommended during active flare-ups. Microneedling could also help with some types of hair loss.

BOTOX
Botox is a popular cosmetic treatment that can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles in the face, which prevents them from contracting and causing wrinkles. The injections are relatively quick and easy, and they can provide noticeable results within a few days.
Given how Botox can improve people’s appearance, it’s no wonder it’s become incredibly popular. Between 2000 and 2019, the use of the treatment rose 878%, according to a report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Whether you want to turn back the clock, diminish lines, soften wrinkles, or achieve a more youthful appearance, you should consider getting this cosmetic procedure at Align Health.
