Managing Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Managing Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Micro-needling is a treatment for a wide variety of skin issues. It can be used to address wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. You can also treat scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation.  

How Does a Micro-needling Treatment Work? 

A micro-needling treatment is performed using a medical device that contains tiny needles and is used specifically to treat the skin by creating tiny microchannels inside the skin.  This is accomplished by needles that oscillate allowing the device to travel smoothly over the skin.  This causes the skin to renew and repair itself. 

This skin treatment is a fantastic option for those who are worried about recovery time or injections because the pain is minimal.  You can go back to work immediately after this non-invasive treatment. Another added perk of Micro-needling is that it can be safely used on all skin types and tones. 

Micro-needling Helps Reduce Wrinkles and Fine Lines 

Micro-needling can produce results like fractional lasers when used on wrinkles and fine lines. Lasers have been known to present a risk of hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation; however micro-needling does not have that same risk. This is because it is not a heat-based treatment and it is solely relying on your body’s own regenerative forces to heal and improve the texture and tone of skin post-treatment. 

How Micro-needling Works 

The science behind the procedure is that the micro-needling device is turned on and the trained aesthetician glides the device back and forth over clean skin. When this motion happens, the tiny needles inside the device oscillate back and forth creating tiny wounds that are so small they will not be noticed later. These tiny microscopic wounds signal to the body that it is injured, and the body then sends signals to the skin to activate its repair procedures with collagen. Collagen is a very important protein that helps with skin elasticity.  The older you get, the less collagen you produce. Therefore, you will notice that skin tends to sag and wrinkle in the elderly population of people.  

Micro-needling gives your skin a jump-start to produce as much collagen as it did when you were younger and helps to smooth wrinkles and reduce fine lines.  

How Many Micro-Needling Treatments Will I Need? 

Most people tend to see results a few weeks after their first treatment, however most people will need multiple treatments to achieve the best results. Another concept to remember is that your skin is constantly aging due to time and environmental factors.  As you age you will need to continue treatments to achieve the best results.
