Read about Micro-Needling

 

Micro-Needling, is it better than surgery or lasers?

Micro-Needling is one the newest, easiest and most effective skin treatments available and is a process which can be carried out clinically along with home care. As the amazing process gains awareness it is important to understand, what skin needling is and how it works.                                                                                                                        

 

Scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and uneven skin tone are all symptoms of skin lacking collagen. Micro-Needling offers Mother Nature a helping hand by encouraging collagen production in the skin. The technique of Micro-Needling has been shown to increase the remodeling of the skin by creating thousands of microscopic channels through the skin. This increases the formation of new tissue by activating the body’s wound healing cascade(homeostasis-inflammation-proliferation-tissue remodeling).

 

The micro-channeling causes the release of growth factors that promote scar-less healing and the deposition of normal woven collagen rather than scar collagen. There are various delivery systems in Micro-Needling, but the Micro-Needling pen system, which creates literally thousands of channels through the epidermis, appears to be most effective. This system is safe, cost effective, and simple. While it takes six weeks for collagen synthesis and about six months for the full effect of the treatments, the common response by patients after the initial treatment is that their skin has a “glow” and that fine lines are diminished.                                  

 

Many clinical studies have proven that skin Micro-Needling is more effective than or as powerful as others, including laser resurfacing, chemical peels or dermabrasion. (Micro-Needling pens can generate up to 500,000 micro-channels in 10 minutes – 1,000 per square cm – compared to a fractional laser treatment which generates 2,000 micro-thermal channels per square cm after 3~4 treatments).

 

Advantage of Micro-Needling

 

  • Visual and noticeable improvement in a few days from the first treatment
  • Short healing time (1/2 ~ 1 day)
  • No permanent damage or injury
  • No bruising, infection, discoloration or other complications
  • Extremely high absorption of any active ingredients
  • Almost all skin types can be treated
  • Thickens the dermis without damaging or removing epidermis

 

So how quick does the Micro-Needling give me results?

 

As you would imagine, the speed at which you will get visible results depends upon what you are trying to treat along with how much remodeling is required. The process of skin remodeling can continue for several weeks or months after each Micro-Needling session, but visible changes can be seen within around 7 days! Your skin automatically renews itself every 40 days, so with a few sessions changes can be dramatic.                                              

 

Does Micro-Needling hurt?                                                                                                                          

 

Using the Micro-Needling pen lightly gives a tingling “prickly” sensation and although it does not feel good, it is not painful either.  Your face is more sensitive to it than other areas of your body might be. You may see a temporary reddening for up to 1-2 hours after treatment and it may create a sensation similar to a mild sunburn. However it is totally worth the discomfort to reap the benefits!!!

 

How can Micro-Needling help me?

 

Wrinkles - Micro-Needling can be used to reduce deep wrinkles, fine wrinkles, skin lines and creases such as laughter lines, crow’s feet, smile lines, wrinkles on the forehead (scowl lines), creases around the mouth or lips, on the neck and jaw line (including jowl lines), the chest (décolleté) and the backs of the hands.

 

Acne/Surgery Scars - Acne scarring reduction and acne scarring treatment are frequent uses for Micro-Needling, in addition to treating surgery scars, pitted skin, large pores, chicken pox scars, burn scars, ice pick scars, appendectomy scars, surgical scars, caesarian section scars, breast enlargement scars and tummy tuck scars. The result of using Micro-Needling is incredible.
