Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural wound healing response, leading to various benefits for the skin. Some of the key benefits of microneedling include:
Stimulates Collagen Production
Microneedling induces controlled micro-injuries to the skin, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Increased collagen production can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars over time.
Improves Skin Texture and Tone
By promoting collagen synthesis, microneedling can help smooth out uneven skin texture, reduce the appearance of large pores, and even out skin tone. This can result in a more youthful and radiant complexion.
Reduces Scars and Stretch Marks
Microneedling has been shown to be effective in reducing the appearance of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. The process encourages the remodeling of scar tissue, leading to smoother and more even skin.
Enhances Absorption of Skincare Products
The microchannels created by microneedling allow for better penetration and absorption of topical skincare products, such as serums and moisturizers. This can maximize the efficacy of these products and improve overall skin health.
Minimally Invasive with Minimal Downtime
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that typically requires little to no downtime. Unlike more aggressive treatments like laser therapy, microneedling is suitable for all skin types and carries a lower risk of complications.
Versatile and Customizable
Microneedling can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. Additionally, the depth of the needles can be adjusted to target specific skin concerns, making it a versatile and customizable treatment option.
Safe and Well-Tolerated
When performed by a trained and experienced professional, microneedling is considered a safe and well-tolerated procedure for most individuals. However, it’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions to minimize the risk of adverse reactions and optimize results.
At Premier Aesthetic Dermatology, we use the finest microneedling device and best serums that will give you the best results. Depending on your skin care needs, PAD will utilize either hyaluronic acid, tranexamic acid, exosomes or PRP (platelet rich plasma) along with the microneedling treatment.
