Micro-needling involves the use of tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. While the idea of intentionally puncturing the skin may sound daunting, there are a number of benefits that can help transform your skin.
Stimulates Collagen Production
We hear a lot about collagen production and how it decreases as we age but the lack of collagen can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin.
Micro-needling helps stimulate collagen by kick starting the healing process caused through the micro injuries that the treatment creates. This response results in a firmer skin with the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
Skin Texture improvements
The most common skin texture improvements seen with micro-needling are improvements to acne scarring and enlarged pores. The micro-injuries created during treatment stimulate new skin cells which lead to a smoother complexion.
A lesser-known benefit of micro-needling is its ability to improve the absorption of your skin products. You can get more out of your products due to micro channels allowing for your products to penetrate deeper into the skin.
Reduce Pigmentation
Micro-needling can also help reduce pigmentation. With regular treatments, the increased skin cell turn over can accelerate new non pigmented skin to the surface giving you a more radiant complexion.
If you are looking to treat a specific skin concern or maintain a healthy glow, then Micro-needling may be the treatment for you.
