Microneedling Facial - What is it? What are the benefits?
As we age and enjoy the sun, our skin starts to appear dull and droopy. This leaves us with fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and pesky dark spots. A microneedling facial can help revive that lost glow and leave you with more healthy and hydrated skin. Here is all you need to know about a microneedling facial.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses thin surgical-grade needles to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This can help improve the appearance of your skin, particularly fine lines, and wrinkles.
During this procedure, tiny steel needles are injected into the skin, which causes it to release natural proteins/peptides. This process results in localized inflammation (redness) and helps stimulate your body's repair and collagen production. This process can also be used to treat scars and other skin imperfections.
This treatment will reduce signs of aging and help you improve your skin texture. It promotes collagen production within the skin, giving it an "invisible facelift" and creating a more youthful appearance. It will also tighten the skin.
Benefits of Microneedling:
Minimizes acne scarring: Micro-needling is an aesthetic procedure that helps increase skin circulation and tighten pores. As a result, it helps to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and redness/ hyperpigmentation caused by acne. It also helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots caused by the sun, aging, and hormones.
Improves fine lines and wrinkles: Microneedling is a skin treatment that improves fine lines, wrinkles, and surface texture. It's also known as dermal needling. The treatment involves using a needle to make tiny punctures into the layer of the skin called the dermis. When performed by a specialist, this procedure can effectively improve signs of aging.
Tightens saggy skin: Microneedling is a treatment that uses small needles to create small channels on the surface of your skin. There are many benefits to microneedling, including tighter skin and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling tightens saggy skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production, the natural substances that give the skin strength and elasticity.
Improves skin texture and tone: Microneedling is an anti-aging technique that involves micro-injury to the skin to improve texture and tone. Microneedling uses special needles to penetrate the skin layers, thus creating tiny channels. Serums and even plasma can be introduced through these channels to promote healing and cell turnover.
Reduces pore size: For pore size reduction, microneedling can be a good choice.
Microneedling is a safe, chemical-free treatment that triggers new collagen production and can be performed on all skin types without the uncomfortable side effects of discomfort or downtime.
