What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is the most effective way to rejuvenate and repair the skin.
Microneedling is a method of mechanical stimulation of the skin, in which millions of microchannels are created in the skin using tiny needles. By stimulating collagen production, it also repairs the structure and function of damaged and altered skin. In Microneedling , the treatment is such that a number of very fine and sterile needles with the specified depth and speed which are determined by the type of skin and the intended target, enter the skin layer simultaneously.
Microneedling Benefits
- REDUCES THE APPEARANCE OF LINES AND WRINKLES
No one wants to look older than they are. But premature aging that presents as fine lines and wrinkles does just that. The tiny injuries from a microneedling session boost collagen and elastin production to fight lines and wrinkles.
Collagen and elastin are compounds in your skin that add structure and strength, lending a youthful quality. The wound-healing mechanisms also stimulate your body to produce new skin cells, making fine lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles less apparent.
- SCAR TREATMENT
Because microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, it’s also super effective in addressing acne and other scars on your skin. The only type of scar not possible to treat is keloid, or raised, scars.
- SUN DAMAGE
Microneedling is effective in reducing the appearance of sun damage, particularly hyperpigmentation and age spots. If you have a blotchy, brownish complexion, which is probably a result of too many days of sunning, microneedling and its ability to stimulate new collagen and skin cells can reinvigorate your look and even out your tone.
- ANTI-AGING
Aging doesn’t just show up as wrinkles and discoloration. As you get older, your skin loses its elasticity, so it appears lax. Aging skin may also look dull and lack a lustrous glow. Microneedling can change this.
The buildup of collagen that occurs in response to the tiny wounds can improve skin structure to fight sagging. Plus, just 24 hours following a session, you experience a radiant, fresh glow.
- SHRINKS PORES
Despite the fact that microneedling involves punching holes in your skin, it doesn’t increase the size of your pores. In fact, it helps your pores appear much smaller. When the collagen around your pores is stimulated, the area around each pore plumps, making the pore itself almost disappear.
- IMPROVES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TOPICAL PRODUCTS
Post-microneedling is the prime time to apply anti-aging treatments, moisturizers, and other topical treatments that boost skin health and appearance. The micro-holes receive creams, serums, and gels more readily and deliver them deeper into your dermis than when applied regularly.
- FIGHTS STRETCH MARKS
Microneedling works just about anywhere on your body. It can be effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks that show up after periods of rapid growth, such as during pregnancy.
How Does it work?
Microneedling is done using a device that contains tiny, fine needles to puncture the skin. By plucking with the tips of the needles, the device creates a controlled area of damage at the surface level of the skin
At this time, the immune system is activated increasing the release of growth factors ,the production of collagen and elastin fibers as well as increasing the thickness of the first layer of the skin( epidermis).
Collagen and elastin are actually protein fibres that are responsible for strengthening and maintaining the elasticity of the skin and are a major factor in skin rejuvenation.
Post treatment recovery:
Microneeding is a minimally invasive treatment that causes minor damage to the skin to help promote healing and rejuvenation. The treatment may cause some discomfort and redness, but these effects are temporary and will subside. Patients can leave our facility shortly after the treatment with a very short recovery period. Patients usually return to their normal daily activities within the next day.
Generally, the microneedling procedure takes about a few weeks time to show initial results. Full results can be seen within a few weeks after the procedure. This is due to the fact that the body requires some time to heal and produce a healthy amount of collagen. Patients can expect to see major improvements in their skin in the following weeks to come post-treatment.
