Microneedling
What is it?
Microneedling, which is sometimes called COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY, is a non-surgical treatment often used to address skin concerns like fine lines, texture issues , scarring and stretch marks, as well as pigmentation issues.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy because it initiates a healing response in the body which triggers your natural collagen and elastin production to kick into high gear. Using a device with many very tiny needles, we create non-visible punctures in the skin. This tricks your body into believing that there is an injury that requires healing. Your body then sends a healing response to the treatment area, producing collagen and elastin, plumping the skin from the inside out. The outcome is smoother, healthier and younger looking skin. This is also the science behind dermal rollers used at home.
At Mojo Master Beauty Rehab, our experts will assess your skin, and create a customized plan for you to address your skin concerns. At your sessions, we will incorporate powerful serums containing ingredients such as antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and lightening agents that treat a wide range of skin issues such as hyperpigmentation, acne scars, dry and irritated skin, freckles, skin spots, or enlarged pores.
Microneedling can also treat sun spots, sun damage, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and contribute to a more even skin tone. Light chemical peels or dermaplaning are often combined with microneedling to maximize results.
'Microneedling is typically done in a series of treatments, scheduled at 4-week intervals. Because it takes time for the body to build up collagen, it takes 3-5 sessions to see results.

Additional Information
This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.

Cold Sores and Skin Treatments
Cold sores are extremely common, affecting over 50% of the U.S. population. Many have repeated outbreaks. Trauma to the skin such as lasers, injections, and microneedling may induce the virus. If you have a history of cold sores, make sure to let them know that an antiviral can be prescribed by their physician to avoid an outbreak. If you have an active outbreak, you will need to reschedule.
Acne
Microneedling should not be performed on clients with active acne (with or without inflammation). It can potentially spread acne bacteria in the dermis, further aggravating the skin.
Contraindications with which microneedling should absolutely not be performed:
- Scleroderma
- Blood clotting problems
- Cardiac abnormalities
- Vascular diseases
- Immunosuppression
- Active bacterial or fungal infections
- Scars less than 3 months old
