Microneedling for Improved Tone and Texture

KYBELLA

Microneedling is a great way to refresh your skin and improve its appearance. This treatment offers plenty of benefits. The microneedling technique is able to stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is important for all of the body’s structures. It’s found throughout the body in muscles, tendons and ligaments. It gives body parts their structure.

What is Microneedling?

For cosmetic purposes, collagen is important because of its role in tissue structure. This is true in all types of tissue throughout the body, from muscles to skin and organ tissues. Collagen is what keeps the face supple. Improving the amount of collagen in the system will keep your skin looking firm, youthful, and elastic. As people age, they produce less and less collagen. This is part of why fine lines, wrinkles, and crepey texture start to become problematic.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling works by stimulating the production of collagen. The way this treatment works is by using sterilized needles to penetrate the skin. These are called micro-injuries. Puncturing the skin stimulates healing. With more collagen being produced, crepey areas of the skin become thicker. The needles used for this treatment are very tiny and won’t cause scarring. In fact, microneedling is a great choice for areas with scars, whether they’re stand-alone or related to acne.

What are the Benefits of Microneedling?

One benefit of microneedling is that it allows products to absorb into the skin more effectively. Applying a serum that contains hyaluronic acid (HA) beforehand will help improve hydration. HA is produced in the body and helps your skin retain moisture. As production declines with age, replacing it can be helpful. Antioxidant-rich Vitamin C serums are another popular choice. Antioxidants take on damaging free radicals within the body.

Who is a good candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling is a great option for people of any age. Whether you are seeking to battle the signs of aging, minimize the look of scars, or address inherited under-eye bags, microneedling can work for you. This treatment is based on solid science and is just endlessly versatile.
