5 Benefits of Microneedling

01 Oct 5 Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment aimed at rejuvenating the skin. It is primarily used to minimize signs of aging (age spots), wrinkles, any scarring, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. The micro-needling device has fine needles which create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin. This in turn triggers the body to stimulate new collagen production. Micro-needling treatment can also be coupled with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). Platelet Rich Plasma creates more tightness in the skin and accelerates the healing process. This is ideal for treatment and prevention of fine lines and wrinkles. Your blood is drawn, spun in the centrifuge, and then your own growth factors are injected and micro-needled into your skin for advanced collagen stimulation.

Here are 5 Benefits of Micro-needling

• Improves skin’s texture
• Encourages skin’s firmness, which makes it an excellent anti-aging tool
• Reduction in acne scarring
• Reduction in the appearance of pore size
• Minimizes appearance of stretch marks

The micro-needling procedure typically takes about 30 minutes. The skin is numbed prior to that (30 minutes). A series of 3 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart is recommended to see optimal results.

Contraindications to Microneedling:

People who are Keloid prone, have cystic acne, have facial eczema, have psoriasis, have actinic (solar) keratosis, have rosacea, experiencing herpes simplex infections, personal history of diabetes, have raised moles, have lesions or warts at the treatment site.
