Collagen and elastin synthesis begins to decline as we age, resulting in the skin losing its elasticity and elasticity. When tissues begin to droop and wrinkle, the look of aging might be sped up by years. These skin changes are exacerbated by factors such as UV exposure, smoking, stress, sickness, acne scars, weight swings, and heredity.

In the past, ablative laser and chemical treatments have been utilized to enhance the texture and tone of the skin. However, these procedures may be harsh and lead to unnecessary down time and side effects, such as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can be difficult to treat effectively (PIH). Fortunately, a novel procedure has been developed that can restore attractive, young skin with much less danger and downtime.

What is Microneedling?

PIN, or Percutaneous Induction Needling (PIN), is a cutting-edge therapy for stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. The creation of important growth factors like collagen and elastin, which restore a young look, is stimulated by millions of micro lesions in the tissues.

The process may be carried out using two distinct instruments. These include:

• Derma pens are a pen-like instrument with a needle tip.
• Derma rollers are face rollers with microscopic needles on the roller.

Microneedling may be performed in-office or at home.

How microneedling works?

To pierce the skin with microneedles, either a stamp or a microneedling pen will be used (that typically range from 0.1 to 2.5 mm in diameter). These devices are known as collagen induction treatments, which stimulate collagen formation and assist skin regeneration by creating micro-wounds on the skin.

The body receives a signal from these micro-punctures in the skin’s top layer that damage has occurred, which prompts the development of new collagen and elastin. These wounds, including small scratches and cuts, heal in the same way that your body does.

Benefits of microneedling

Enhance the production of collagen and elastic

You’re probably thinking, “ouch,” and we understand. When was the last time you thought about it? The major cause is an increase in collagen. And because we can never have enough collagen, the small discomfort of the facial is well worth it. Since microneedling is a kind of collagen induction treatment (CIT), it helps to boost the skin’s production of collagen and elastin, both of which help to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and enhance volume.

Decrease Pore Size

Each of us has pores on the surface of our skin that allow excess oil and moisture to escape. Depending on how big they are, they might be hardly detectable or so big that you can’t stop gazing at them. If your pores get blocked with oil, debris or dead skin, you’re more likely to have large pores than you would think. Additionally, as they grow in size, they become more effective in collecting more waste. You may use microneedling to reduce the size of your pores since it can go into the hard-to-reach areas of your face and unclog them with new collagen and elastin.

Improve Product Use

Products may be absorbed more effectively via newly opened wounds and unclogged pores by producing millions of small holes in the skin. This increases the number of channels accessible to the skin and the quantity of product absorbed. This is why we administer strong serums to the skin during a microneedling treatment so that you get the best results.

Get Your Blood Pumping!

In order to assist speed up the healing process, the immune system boosts blood flow to the site of the injury as the wounds close. It’s no surprise that your face will look and feel better with a natural glow when it has more oxygen and nutrients in it.

Final thoughts

When it comes to skin rejuvenation, some experts say microneedling is superior to certain lasers. I think it’s possible, if done correctly. As a general rule, a medical expert is required for the best outcomes. Microneedling before and after care regimens must be more extensive to get remarkable effects. You get exactly what you paid for in this case.

We highly recommend a treatment plan of between three and six sessions for best outcomes. Whether you’re using microneedling for acne scars or anti-aging purposes is up to you.
