Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) involves using fine needles to create hundreds of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of skin. This minimally invasive treatment—whether done by a trained esthetician, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon- is painless and incredibly effective. The micro-injuries you create stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing processes, resulting in cell turnover and increased collagen and elastin production, therefore reversing and preventing signs of aging. It works the same way lasers do, only you’re injuring the skin mechanically instead of using heat or light. Believe it or not, microneedling has become hugely popular among skincare fanatics—Vogue is calling it the next big thing in anti-aging.
“HOW EFFECTIVE IS MICRONEEDLING ON ACNE SCARING?”
Nearly 100 percent of acne-scarred participants reported a marked improvement in the visibility of their acne scars. , for severe acne scars, you may need even longer needles for maximum results. Which is why you’ll want to book with one of our trained esthetician who perform microneedle treatments. Our professional grade microneedling devices goes as deep as 0.5mm -3 mm, which is much more effective and will treat deep acne scars that occur beneath the surface of the skin.
“HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?”
With its ability to trigger the generation of new skin cells, just a few sessions of microneedling will noticeably reduce pour size, scaring, pigmentation, fine lines, crow’s feet, and deep wrinkles on the forehead. Best results are seen between 3 and 6 treatments.
“WILL IT HELP MY PIGMENTATION?”
Once again, collagen is arguably the most vital way to improve the look of skin, and this goes far beyond reducing wrinkles. By stimulating collagen growth with microneedling, you can also reverse sun damage and discoloration, including the hyperpigmentation that comes with melasma. A 2015 study showed microneedling to be a promising treatment for the blotchy, brownish facial pigmentation that comes with this chronic condition.
DIMINISH FINE LINES & WRINKLES
One of the most remarkable benefits of microneedling is its effect on fine lines and wrinkles. As the years roll by, our skin naturally starts to lose its elasticity due to reduced collagen production, which, in turn, leads to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. The beauty of microneedling is that it directly addresses this issue by triggering the body’s natural response to injury, encouraging collagen and elastin production.
In the process of microneedling, our state of the art morpheus8 equipped state of the art InMode features create hundreds of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of the skin. Although this might seem counterintuitive, these micro-injuries are virtually painless yet beneficial in triggering the body’s natural wound-healing process.
The Morpheus8 is an incredibly minimally invasive epidermal resurfacing and Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD).
As part of this healing process, the body rushes to produce more collagen and elastin, which are the critical building blocks of youthful, healthy skin.
By accelerating the production of these critical proteins, microneedling can effectively diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The increase in collagen helps to plump the skin, filling in fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother appearance. Meanwhile, the boost in elastin production improves skin’s elasticity, giving it a firmer, more youthful look.
It’s important to remember that results from microneedling aren’t instant. While some immediate effects can be seen due to the skin’s inflammation and swelling after the procedure, real, lasting improvements in fine lines and wrinkles generally occur after multiple sessions. This is because collagen and elastin production happens over time, not immediately.
REDUCTION OF ACNE SCARS
Microneedling is a proven technique that has shown exceptional results in reducing acne scars. Acne scars often result from inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. When the pore swells, it causes a break in the follicle wall, forming deep lesions. As the skin heals, it sometimes produces too much collagen, creating a scar.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s self-repair process. This process triggers the production of new collagen and elastin, proteins essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and smoothness.
When microneedling is performed on areas with acne scarring, it breaks up the tethered scar tissues. This allows the skin to lift up to the surface, diminishing the depth of the indented scars. Simultaneously, the increased collagen production helps fill in any depressions caused by the scars, leading to a smoother skin texture.
However, it’s important to note that while microneedling can be extremely effective in reducing acne scars, results may vary depending on the type and severity of the scars, and multiple sessions may be required for optimal results. Microneedling should ideally be performed by certified professionals who can guide you on the right course of treatment and ensure safe and effective treatment.
IMPROVING SKIN TEXTURE
Beyond reducing wrinkles and diminishing acne scars, microneedling is a game-changer for improving overall skin texture. It addresses various texture issues such as roughness, dryness, and uneven skin tone.
Rough or uneven skin texture can often result from a buildup of dead skin cells, lack of hydration, or even damage from sun exposure. Microneedling works effectively to combat these issues. By creating microchannels in the skin, microneedling facilitates better absorption of skincare products. This means your skin can take in more of the hydrating, nourishing ingredients in your serums or creams, promoting a softer and smoother texture.
Moreover, these micro-injuries stimulate the production of fresh skin cells, replacing older, damaged cells. This cellular renewal plays a significant role in evening out the skin tone, reducing discoloration or pigmentation.
The benefits of microneedling for skin texture don’t stop there. It can also help reduce enlarged pores, often contributing to a rough skin texture. The boost in collagen production causes the surrounding skin to plump and even out, making pores appear smaller.
Overall, regular microneedling sessions can help transform the texture of your skin, making it smoother, softer, and even-toned. At MDSpa, our professional team is adept at providing personalized microneedling treatments designed to cater to your specific skin texture concerns.
