Microneedling for Skin rejuvenation
As we age, our skin naturally starts to lose the collagen and elastin that keeps it looking tight, dewy, youthful and fresh. Over time, fine lines and wrinkles become more pronounced, and sun spots or discoloration may appear on the surface of the skin. These signs of aging can make some self-conscious or unhappy with their appearance.
Fortunately, there are a myriad of cosmetic treatments that can help delay or reverse signs of aging and restore the appearance of youthfulness to skin. One of the newer and more popular methods of anti-aging treatment is collagen induction therapy, or microneedling.
How microneedling works
The practice of microneedling is deceptively simple, and it has actually been in use for centuries. The earliest version of this practice started with acupuncturists in ancient China.
Collagen induction therapy is performed with a small roller that is covered with tiny needles. The needles can be either solid or hollow, and they are designed to be the appropriate length to just penetrate the epidermis when the roller is passed over the skin.
When the needles penetrate the skin, they create hundreds of tiny, almost microscopic wounds. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, which includes the production of collagen and elastin. Many patients see noticeable improvements in the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and discoloration in just a few treatments.
Benefits of microneedling
In clinical studies, the efficacy of microneedling has been shown to be about equal to that of a fractional laser. However, many patients and dermatologists prefer the microneedling treatment because it is less expensive, better tolerated and requires less down time.
In many cases, collagen induction therapy can achieve results similar to those of surgery or other more invasive treatments. However, one additional benefit of micro needling is that it promotes the body’s natural processes of wound healing and skin regeneration. Thanks to this, your results may look more natural after a microneedling treatment compared with surgery, for example.
Collagen induction therapy is also extremely safe when properly administered. To make sure you are getting the best possible care and results, see a qualified dermatologist for your microneedling treatments.
