WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that uses a small handheld device to puncture the surface of the skin with fine needles, causing dozens of controlled microinjuries. These microinjuries are so small they’re not visible to the naked eye, but they create microchannels into the deeper layers of skin that improve the absorption of topical products and stimulate the body’s natural healing response to improve the production of collagen and elastin fibers, leading to improved skin texture and appearance.

WHAT CAN MICRONEEDLING TREAT?

Microneedling leads to the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers in treated areas for a firmer, healthier and younger-looking complexion. It can be used to address a wide range of concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Sagging skin
• Acne scars
• Uneven skin tone or texture
• Sun damage
• Stretch marks
• Hyperpigmentation
• Dullness

Microneedling is most often performed on the face and neck, but it can also be on other areas of the body where these concerns occur, such as the chest, arms, legs and abdomen.

COLLAGEN & YOUR SKIN

Collagen is a protein that is an essential component of the body’s connective tissues, including the skin, bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. In fact, it is the most abundant protein in the human body, making up approximately one-third of our total protein content.

Collagen is responsible for providing strength and structure to these tissues. In the skin, collagen helps to maintain its firmness, elasticity and overall appearance. However, as we age, our bodies produce less collagen, leading to the development of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. Collagen production decreases over time for many reasons, including:

• Natural aging process: As we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen. This decline in collagen production begins in our 20s and accelerates in our 30s and 40s.
• UV exposure: Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can damage collagen fibers in the skin, leading to a decrease in collagen production. This contributes to premature aging and the development of lines and wrinkles.
• Lifestyle factors: Smoking, a poor diet and high levels of stress can also contribute to a decrease in collagen production.
• Environmental factors: Exposure to environmental pollutants and toxins can produce free radicals that damage collagen fibers, causing them to thin and wear out.
• Genetic factors: Genetics also play a role in how quickly we lose collagen with age.

Regardless of the cause, decreased collagen production can lead to a number of changes in the skin, including the tell-tale signs of aging. It’s important to take steps to support collagen production to maintain your skin’s health and vibrance, such as eating a healthy and balanced diet, protecting against sun damage and using high-quality products with collagen-building ingredients like vitamin C, retinol and peptides.

Microneedling can be included as part of your normal skin care routine to promote collagen production and give your skin a rejuvenating boost. It can address a range of common concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, sun damage, acne scars, large pores and more to improve the overall tone, texture and appearance of your complexion.

MICRONEEDLING BENEFITS

The benefits of microneedling include:

• Stimulating collagen and elastin production: Microneedling can help boost collagen and elastin production, which improves your skin’s texture, firmness and elasticity.
• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles: Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and mouth.
• Improving skin texture and tone: Microneedling can help improve your skin’s texture and tone by reducing the appearance of acne scars, hyperpigmentation and other imperfections or blemishes.
• Enhancing skin’s absorption of skin care products: The microchannels created during microneedling can help enhance the absorption of skin care products, improving their overall effectiveness.
• Minimizing pores: Microneedling can help reduce the size of enlarged pores, which can improve the overall appearance of the skin.
• Treating scars and stretch marks: Microneedling can help minimize the appearance of stretch marks and scarring by stimulating collagen production in the affected area.
• Safe and minimally invasive: Microneedling is a safe and minimally-invasive procedure that can be performed on most skin types and tones.

ELEVATE YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE

In addition to stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling creates microchannels in the skin to improve the absorption of topical gels, creams and serums. This helps skin care products to work more effectively for even greater benefits. To further encourage tissue renewal, microneedling is often combined with topical treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which infuses the skin with growth factors derived from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. It also works great alongside HydraFacial, allowing the nourishing serums and peptides to penetrate even deeper into the skin for optimal results.
