Microneedling: A Non-Surgical Way to Refresh and Rejuvenate Your Look

Microneedling: A Non-Surgical Way to Refresh and Rejuvenate Your Look!

Life can be tough on your skin. Injuries can lead to scars. Sunburns can lead to age spots. Aging and loss of collagen can lead to wrinkles. Sweat and substances in your environment  can get stuck in pores and enlarge them.

You might find when you look in the mirror that your skin’s texture looks different than when you were young. Instead of smooth, you may find that it is rough or pitted. You might have fine lines around your eyes or wrinkles on your forehead. 

But you can fix these problems and smooth out your skin’s texture with the help of microneedling, a non-surgical skin resurfacing procedure. Microneedling, also called percutaneous collagen induction therapy, can stimulate your body’s natural healing processes to smooth out your skin. After microneedling treatment, your skin will produce new cells and new collagen, a protein that is responsible for keeping skin smooth and firm.

You can use microneedling to treat skin texture problems such as:

• Minor scars

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Sun damage

• Stretch marks

• Large pores

• Some skin pigment disorders

During microneedling, an aesthetician will run a small roller across your skin. The roller is full of small, fine needles that gently puncture your skin. Your body naturally begins to heal these punctures, producing new skin and collagen. It’s easy for your body to care for these micro injuries, but the healing process has many benefits for your skin, resulting in a smoother, firmer texture. 

Your microneedling appointment takes about an hour, depending on the size of the area you want treated. Forty-five minutes before your procedure, your aesthetician will apply a topical anesthetic. The anesthetic will numb your skin so you stay comfortable during your treatment. You might have some redness for a few hours after your treatment, but other side effects are rare. Microneedling is considered safe for almost anyone, though you should talk to your doctor if you have a bleeding disorder or have undergone radiation therapy. 

In a few weeks, you’ll see the results of your treatment as your body begins to heal and produce collagen. You might need multiple treatments to get the results and skin texture you want. Your results will be finalized about two months after your treatments are done and your body has had a chance to produce more collagen. 

You can enhance your microneedling results by adding on treatments like platelet-rich plasmas or hyaluronic acid facials. These treatments contribute to younger-looking skin and are even more effective after microneedling. That’s because microneedling really opens up your skin and pores to absorb new products. 

You can get smooth, firm skin again even after life takes its toll on your appearance. Microneedling offers effective, non-surgical treatment to improve your skin’s texture and regain younger looking skin.
