Are you looking for a quick and easy way to achieve more youthful-looking skin? If so, microneedling could be the answer. Not only does it rejuvenate skin, but it also treats a variety of imperfections, leaving your skin looking brighter and clearer. Schedule an appointment to learn how microneedling could help you.
Suitable for all skin tones and types
Addresses various skin imperfections.
Enhances skin texture
Minimal or no discomfort during the procedure.
No risk of scarring or adverse reactions.
Relatively little to no downtime or recovery.
Microneedling offers our patients a non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation using a small needle-covered roller, or pen, to treat the skin's surface.
It works by creating thousands of tiny holes in the skin’s surface that stimulate growth factors which produce collagen and elastin for healing without the risk of scarring. This results in a refreshed look with tighter, smoother, and softer skin, along with a natural plumping effect.
Our provider applies a numbing cream to the treatment area, followed by a serum that helps the device move smoothly over the skin.
Following the procedure, a topical cream will be applied to the area to calm and protect the skin.
Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of aging and can cause a once youthful face to look tired, old, and less attractive than it used to be. But it doesn’t have to be this way. More and more people are turning to non-invasive procedures to counteract wrinkles - and with impressive results.
Caring for your skin with quality cosmetics is one way to keep it healthy. Drinking plenty of water also helps maintain skin health. However, genetics influence how soon lines and wrinkles appear. So, if you want to enhance your natural beauty, Gilded Leaf MedSpa offers cutting-edge technologies to smooth and tighten facial skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Acne is a very common condition affecting those between the ages of 11 and 30. It occurs when hair follicles, skin cells, and sebum (an oily substance from skin oil glands) combine, clogging the skin’s pores.
Bacteria trapped under the skin might cause swelling leading to the formation of pus-filled pimples or bumps which can be painful. There are many types of pimples, including whiteheads, blackheads, papules (small pink bumps), pustules, nodules (deep pimples), and cysts. Many acne sufferers have more than one type of these blemishes.
Some acne leads to visible scarring and skin discoloration, causing people to feel embarrassed or become introverted. Although certain cosmetics reduce the appearance of acne scars, the wrong type of cosmetic can make matters worse, resulting in new breakouts.

As the name suggests, age spots occur as we age. They typically range from light brown to black in color and commonly appear on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, upper chest, back, arms, and hands.
These well-defined, flat patches usually result from overactive pigment cells, typically caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light which accelerates the production of melanin.
Age spots are most prevalent among adults over 40 and individuals, particularly those with pale skin, who spend extended periods in the sun. Primarily, those who work outdoors or have a history of tanning are at greater risk of developing the condition.
What are the signs of age spots?
Age spots appear as flat, round or oval, brown, tan, or black patches on the skin. They are smooth to the touch and have a consistent color. Size can range from a few millimeters to two centimeters, and while some individuals may have only a few age spots, others might have hundreds scattered across their skin.
What about age spots treatment?
The good news is that age spots are usually harmless, so there’s no urgency to remove them, unless, of course, you dislike their appearance. Our highly skilled providers at Gilded Leaf MedSpa use the latest technology and techniques to banish unwanted age spots leaving you with flawless skin.
Some of our most popular treatments for age spots include:

While many of us enjoy the warmth and brightness of the sun, overexposure to the sun can result in more than a tan.
So, what is sun damage?
Sun damage (photoaging) occurs when exposure to the sun’s rays starts to draw out the skin’s natural moisture content and deplete it of natural lubricating oils. In addition, burning caused by the sun’s rays can also cause long-term changes to the skin’s structure.
As a result, symptoms are varied and include:
Moreover, long-term sun exposure without protection is also a major cause of skin cancer.
How does the sun cause skin damage?
Sun damage occurs when ultraviolet (UV) radiation triggers DNA changes in the skin. These changes can lead to premature aging and skin cancer.
Essentially, UV radiation comprises three types:
UVA light: Penetrates deeply into the skin, affecting collagen, elastin fibers, epidermal cells, and capillaries, causing damage at all skin levels.
UVB light: Targets the outer skin layer, causing DNA damage in the epidermis, leading to photoaging and the formation of precancerous cells known as actinic keratoses.
UVC light: Absorbed by the ozone layer and atmosphere, posing minimal health risks.
Who is at risk of sun damage to the skin?
Everyone is at risk of sun damage when their skin is unprotected. However, people with darker skin tones are less susceptible to sunburn because their skin contains higher levels of melanin, a brown pigment that protects against some of the sun's harmful UV rays
While the team at Gilded Leaf MedSpa can’t undo the past, we can help reverse the signs of sun damage to the skin with the following treatments:

Scarring can occur whenever the skin experiences damage or is incised, such as during surgical procedures. The extent of scarring is influenced by various factors including the location of the incision, the reason for surgery, your body's healing capacity, and the surgeon's proficiency.
What causes surgical scars?
Scars are a natural part of the body's healing mechanism. Skin acts as a protective barrier against germs and harmful elements as part of the immune system. When the skin sustains an injury, your body initiates the production of new tissue composed of collagen to aid in its repair.
Collagen provides numerous vital functions throughout the body, such as maintaining skin elasticity and safeguarding joint cartilage. As a scar forms, collagen fibers work to mend damaged skin and seal any open areas. The newly formed tissue acts as a shield against infections.
How to minimize scarring after surgery
As the healing process continues, the scar will gradually soften, become smoother, and diminish in redness. It's important to note that your scar will continue to improve over the course of 12 to 18 months following your surgery.
Scars typically fade as time passes. During the healing process, makeup can help conceal the scar. Certain dermatological methods may also reduce the visibility of scars.
While scars often don’t go away completely, there are ways to help your surgical scarring look and feel better. Gilded Leaf MedSpa offers advanced technologies to reduce the appearance of surgical scars and stimulate healthy new skin growth.
What’s the best treatment for surgical scarring?
During an initial consultation our experienced providers will assess your surgical scarring and create a personalized treatment plan that matches your esthetic goals.
Two of the best non-surgical treatments to minimize scarring after surgery are laser rejuvenation and microneedling. Here’s how they work.

As we age, our skin undergoes various changes that show up visibly and can affect how we feel about ourselves. Over time, the skin produces less collagen and elastin, which makes it less firm and springy. This often leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
We might also notice age spots, uneven skin tone, and dryness because as we age, skin cell generation slows. Additionally, exposure to sunlight can cause further damage.
Awareness of these signs of aging helps us make smart choices about skincare routines and treatments, so we can keep our skin looking and feeling its best.
