Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
No one wants to look older than they are but premature aging that presents fine lines and wrinkles does just that. The tiny injuries from a microneedling session boosts collagen and elastin to enhance skin quality and promote youthfulness.
Reduce pock marks and scarring
When you have any sort of scarring on your face (or anywhere on your body) your body naturally undergoes a process known as fibrosis. This is good when healing because it makes everything stick together. However, beneath the skin the “glue” is so strong that it can literally pull the skin down. This is what creates the pock marks or scarring on the surface of the skin. Microneedling helps to break up all the “glue” under the skin which allows the skin to let go of the tenting and release the surface of the skin. The collagen and elastin also help to plump up the surface of the skin to smooth out the appearance of the scar.
Exfoliates the skin
Microneedling mechanically disrupts the epidermis which results in some exfoliation. This is important because your dead skin cells are on your epidermis (top layer of skin) and removing this layer leaves your skin looking rejuvenated.
Evens out skin tone
Due to the increased collagen production and mechanical exfoliation from this treatment, it helps even out blotchy and uneven skin by fading hyperpigmentation. For darker skin tones, microneedling is one of the safest treatment options for hyperpigmentation compared to lasers which can sometimes exacerbate pigmentation.
Improves acne
Excess sebum responds well with microneedling as it helps to unclog the pores, thus reducing the production of excess oil. It has also been shown to reduce blackheads.
Lightens and smooths stretch marks
This is due to the combination of breaking down the damaged tissue with micro needles and replacing it with healthy tissue from the overproduction of collagen and elastin.
Rosacea reduction
Microneedling stimulates the growth of collagen which can strengthen collagen in the walls of blood vessels and connective tissue which then can minimize redness and irritation to the skin.
Improves the effectiveness of topical products
Due to the micro injuries caused by the micro needles to the skin, this leaves small channels for topicals to permeate into. This leads to more effective results and deeper penetration into your skin when you’re using your serums and moisturizers.
