Microneedling stimulates the healing process, helping to improve the skin and reduce signs of aging. This effective medspa treatment is mostly used on the face but can also treat the neck, legs, back, or anywhere one notices damaged or aging skin. Whether you want to reduce scars, lessen wrinkles, or improve the overall radiance of your skin, this minimally invasive procedure can produce impressive results.
Also known as percutaneous collagen induction therapy, this procedure involves using a handheld device to make tiny, precise punctures in the top layer of the skin. This stimulates the healing process, producing more collagen and elastin—two proteins that help keep skin smooth and firm. Treatments typically occur in three to five initial sessions, followed by possible maintenance sessions about once every six months. Session length can range from 15 minutes to a few hours, depending on the treatment area.
Microneedling is a relatively new procedure that has gained significant popularity quickly due to its relatively low cost and the following key advantages:
Fine lines and wrinkles, such as laugh lines and crow's feet, are common complaints as people age. This treatment promotes collagen and elastin production to help fill these lines and wrinkles and produce firmer skin. Additionally, this treatment can be coupled with other treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma therapy, to boost anti-aging benefits by reducing sagging and improving the look of deeper wrinkles.
Wrinkles are not the only skin changes that come with time. The look of the skin can also be impacted by acne and surgical scars, as well as stretch marks from pregnancy or weight gain. Through controlled injuries produced by microneedling comes the regeneration of new and healthy skin cells to help improve the look of scars or stretch marks on the face or other parts of the body.
Dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone can result from sun exposure, age, and hormonal changes. Microneedling can also be a powerful treatment for these issues. The micro-injuries created during the procedure stimulate skin cell turnover, which helps fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and even skin tone.
Beyond rejuvenating the skin, this treatment enhances the absorption of serums, moisturizers, and other skincare products. The procedure creates channels that allow the active ingredients in these products to penetrate deeper into the skin, where they can be more effective. Therefore, med spa practitioners will frequently use high-quality skincare products to enhance the results of microneedling.
In addition to being relatively low cost, microneedling is low risk due to its minimally invasive nature. Though it is important to have the treatment performed by a qualified medspa professional, any side effects are typically minimal, involving slightly red or tender skin for a day or two. The provider will evaluate a patient's health and skin to ensure microneedling is safe for them.
