What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is an effective aesthetic skin treatment that uses a specialized device to create microscopic pinpoint wounds to stimulate the skin’s collagen and elastin production. By utilizing the skin’s natural repair system, microneedling helps to improve its overall appearance, including fine lines, pore size, mild scarring, and skin texture.
SkinPen Microneedling is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device that can improve the skin’s overall condition by prompting the skin’s natural repair system. SkinPen can refresh your overall complexion to reveal healthier, glowing skin without lengthy downtime or discomfort.
Microneedling can also improve the appearance of:
- Fine lines or wrinkles
- Acne or surgical scars
- Melasma or other skin discoloration
- Large pores
- Reduced elasticity
- Uneven skin tone
Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and is well-tolerated with few side effects and limited downtime. Patients should expect to experience some tenderness and redness, like that of a mild sunburn, for approximately 24-48 hours following a microneedling treatment. Microneedling offers the most effective results from a series of three to five treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.

What Can I Expect During a Microneedling Procedure?
At Henderson Women’s Care, Dr. Tanita customizes each microneedling procedure to suit each patient’s individual needs for their skin. However, we’ve listed some generalized steps to give you an idea of what to expect during your treatment.

Come to your appointment with a clean face and no makeup on.
After our team greets you for check-in, Dr. Tanita will ensure you are comfortable, answer any last questions, and evaluate the treatment area. You will be treated with a topical anesthetic that takes 10 to 15 minutes to activate prior to your microneedling procedure.
Generally, a microneedling procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending upon your needs and the treatment areas. Most patients report minimal discomfort and experience only mild vibrations from the device.
Following your microneedling procedure, you may experience slightly pink skin, like that of a mild sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours. Some other common effects are dryness, tightness, tenderness, and peeling; however, these will resolve within five to seven days. Keep your skin moisturized so that it does not dry out.
Microneedling requires minimal downtime, and most patients can return to normal activities immediately following the procedure. However, you should refrain from strenuous activities or exercises for 24 to 48 hours following your microneedling treatment.

Weight loss with Semaglutide medication, such as Ozempic, can vary among individuals, but on average, patients might expect to lose between 5 to 10 pounds in the first month. Other factors, including diet, exercise, and how their body reacts to the medication, will affect weight loss.
To maximize weight loss with Ozempic or Mounjaro (Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, respectively), combine the medication with a nutritious diet and a consistent exercise routine. Focus on eating a balanced diet rich in vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains while avoiding high-calorie, low-nutrient foods. Consistent physical activity and staying hydrated also contribute to better results.
Patients may begin to see weight loss results with Ozempic within the first few weeks of treatment. More significant effects are usually noticeable after one to two months. It’s important to have patience and follow the prescribed regimen closely.
Eating sugar while taking Ozempic can lead to uncomfortable side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Since Semaglutide or Tirzepatide medications regulate insulin levels and suppress appetite, consuming high-sugar foods can also interfere with the medications’ effectiveness in managing weight.
Eating pizza on Ozempic is possible; however, it’s important to do so in moderation. Pizza is often high in calories and carbs, which can counteract the weight loss effects of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide medications. Opting for a smaller slice with less cheese and more vegetables, and balancing it with healthy meals throughout the day, can help mitigate many negative impacts.
The time it takes to lose 20 pounds using Semaglutide (Ozempic) varies by individual. On average, it might take 3 to 6 months to lose that amount of weight, depending on factors like dosage, individual metabolism, diet, and exercise levels.
