MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CID) is a medical treatment for a number of derma skin issues such as skin rejuvenation, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks and enlarged pores. It is a non-surgical medical procedure that requires the use of a device which has tiny micro needles used to create micro channels on the skin. Microneedling makes your skin glow after just one treatment and continues to boost the appearance of your complexion for months afterward. The benefits of microneedling are many. Here are few of the most notable.
Benefits
The main benefit is increased collagen production, makes the skin firmer, improves skin texture and increases luminosity by making it smoother, healthier and younger.
- REDUCES THE APPEARANCE OF LINES AND WRINKLES: 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.
- ACNE SCARRING: These needles penetrate through the epidermis of the skin and in turn stimulate the natural healing process of the skin. In this way, the body is able to produce new collagen and elastin in the body, reducing the appearance of textural irregularities like acne scars and lines on the skin, as well as improving skin tone and radiance.
- 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.
- MINIMIZE 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 less visible.
- 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.
- IMPROVES THE APPEARANCE OF STRETCH MARKS: Aside from restarting the collagen production, microneedling also heals the connective tissues of the dermis that created the stretch mark. This procedure is a great solution because it punctures the skin deep enough to cause a reaction within the same dermal layer where the marks were formed.
