Microneedling provides fast, effective skin rejuvenation without surgery. This non-invasive treatment option stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities to create a restored appearance to the skin. At Aesthetic Medicine, we strive to provide our Lake Oswego clients with the latest innovations in cosmetic procedures that provide noticeable results with minimal discomfort and risk, and microneedling fits that goal well.
What Is Microneedling?
Your body has a natural healing capacity that is quite effective. Microneedling taps into this, stimulating the healing response for improvement in the look and texture of the skin. Microneedling involves a handheld device that uses tiny needles to puncture the skin lightly. Not all micro needling is made the same; here at Aesthetic Medicine, we use Morpheus.
The Morpheus has different depths, which are determined by the desired result. Not only does the Morpheus tighten, but it can also treat unwanted fat in the face. The microneedling device is composed of 24 tiny needles that penetrate the tissue. The body responds to these tiny pinpricks by increasing elastin and collagen production and increasing blood supply to the area. The result is better to tone, and texture as the body also heals flaws in the skin, limiting the look of fine lines, scarring, and redness.
The small size of the needles used in microneedling and the fact that they do not penetrate very far into the skin means the procedure should not hurt. We use a medical-grade dermal pen at Aesthetic Medicine to properly control treatment depth and safety. You can achieve excellent rejuvenating results without discomfort or downtime with microneedling treatment.
Most of our Lake Oswego patients report a healthy glow to their skin immediately after treatment. Because the process stimulates the body’s natural healing capabilities, complete healing will take some time. You will need follow-up treatments for the best results, and the number of treatments required will depend on how extensive your treatment needs are. Dr. Darm will help you plan for the correct number of follow-up appointments.
Our Lake Oswego team is dedicated to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals in the least invasive way possible. Microneedling is one of many non-invasive treatment options we provide. Schedule your consultation to discuss microneedling and other treatments to help you achieve your cosmetic goals, restore your self-confidence, and give you a glowing, youthful appearance.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
