Micro needling is a non-invasion procedure, also known as collagen induction therapy, a popular skincare treatment to handle fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging. The procedure uses a device with tiny, fine needles to create a micro-injury on the skin’s surface, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process to boost collagen production. The micro-needling gives smooth, firm skin with reduced signs of skin aging. Let us understand how micro needling works on fine lines and wrinkles.
- How Micro Needling Works
Micro needling uses a device with small needles that creates controlled punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s healing process that in turn increases collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are the proteins that keep the skin firm, smooth with young and beautiful look. As we age, the production of collagen decreases, and it results in the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Increasing the production of collagen with punctures in the skin layer can enhance collagen production. Micro needling can reverse the process of skin aging with improved skin texture and lowers appearance of aging.
- Benefits for Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Collagen Boost – Micro needling increases the production of collagen and elastin in the skin layer. The new collagen fills in the fine lines and wrinkles and make them less visible on the skin surface.
Improved Skin Texture – Micro needling refines the skin’s surface and makes the skin smooth and even. It can reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone or rough texture.
Tighter, Firmer Skin – Micro needling tightens the skin sagging by stimulating the collagen and elastin production and uplifts young appearance.
Minimal Downtime – Micro needling, a non-invasive procedure facelifts with minimal recovery time. The recovery time is usually a day or two.
- What to Expect During and After Micro Needling Treatment
To minimize the pain and discomfort, numbing cream is applied to the skin before the procedure. The treatment usually lasts for 30mins, depending in the treatment area. After the procedure the skin looks red like mild sunburn and usually fades within a few hours to a day.
Most people can perceive immediate results with smooth, bright skin. It usually takes several sessions of 4 to 6 weeks for improvements in fine lines and wrinkles.
- Latest Trends and Innovations in Micro needling
PRP Micro Needling (Vampire Facial) – This is a combination treatment that involves Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from your blood to the skin after micro needling. PRP is rich in growth factors that accelerate healing and collagen production.
Home Micro Needling Devices – Usually professional micro needling offers deep results with people who use at-home derma rollers for maintenance. The device possesses short needles that go into the skin layer to boost collagen production.
RF Micro Needling – Radiofrequency (RF) micro needling combines traditional micro needling with heat energy, that stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin making it effective to address fine lines and wrinkles.
