As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and becomes less plump. It can cause lines around the eyes, sagging cheeks, jowls, and uneven tone on the face. When seeing these aging signs on your skin, your natural response is to consider using products as a quick remedy.
While there are many skin products and procedures available to help us maintain that beautiful canvas of our face—from moisturizers to anti-aging serums—one safe and effective method: is microneedling.
Micro-needling will take your skincare to the next level with its phenomenal results, and here are the reasons why.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries near the surface of your skin. It initiates collagen production, which is essential in tissue repair, elasticity, and firmness. New collagen contributes significantly to firmer, smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Microneedling is an innovative treatment that helps create new collagen by stimulating your skin cells to produce more collagen fibers than naturally without using harmful chemicals or invasive procedures like laser resurfacing or injections into your face area. Collagen plays an essential role in tissue repair, elasticity, and firmness. New collagen contributes significantly to firmer, smoother, healthier-looking skin.
What is the process of microneedling?
Collagen on the skin makes it firmer, giving you that youthful glow. The idea behind microneedling for skin care is to stimulate the creation of these structural amino acids. With microneedling, the skin becomes tighter, has fewer wrinkles and fine lines, and less scarring and hyperpigmentation.
Microneedling involves the use of a tool called the SkinPen®. It’s an innovative device that helps create new collagen by stimulating your skin cells to produce more collagen fibers than naturally, without using harmful chemicals or invasive procedures like laser resurfacing or injections into your face area where they might cause scarring later down the road if not done correctly.
Is Microneedling safe?
Microneedling initiates collagen production in response to these injuries, improving your overall complexion and texture.
You can get immediate results when you try microneedling. You will appear swollen, rosy, and radiant for a few weeks only from microneedling. Inflammation and extremely superficial swelling are temporarily reduced, the skin looks brighter, and the skin is plumped.
Some people might only see noticeable effects after a few sessions because the effectiveness of microneedling depends on the skin’s ability to mend itself. However, microneedling also guarantees progress with time. Collagen and skin elasticity can improve when the skin is treated with several microneedling sessions isolated for at least a month.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
The benefits of microneedling can be seen as soon as you try it out yourself!
- Your skin’s look and feel can be enhanced by microneedling.
- It prevents lines and wrinkles from appearing. It’s undesirable to appear older than one is. But early aging that manifests as wrinkles and fine lines does just that. A microneedling session causes microscopic injuries that increase collagen and elastin synthesis to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Collagen and elastin provide your skin strength, structure, and a youthful look. Your body’s wound-healing capabilities also encourage the growth of new skin cells, which lessens the visibility of forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and fine lines.
- It is used to treat acne scarring. Acne and other skin scars can be effectively treated with microneedling because it increases collagen and elastin synthesis.
- Addresses sun-damaged/aging/age spots (cell regeneration). Microneedling can lessen the appearance of sun damage, including hyperpigmentation and age spots. Microneedling and its capacity to promote new collagen and skin cells can revitalize your appearance and level out your tone if you have a blotchy, brownish complexion, which is likely the result of too many days spent in the sun.
- Microneedling can be used as an anti-aging regimen. Your skin becomes less elastic as you age, making it seem loose. Also, aging skin may appear lifeless and lack a radiant shine. The formation of collagen in response to microscopic wounds can strengthen skin structure and prevent drooping.
Microneedling After Care
The effects of microneedling treatments can be improved with proper post-treatment maintenance, which can shield your delicate skin from irritation and harm.
- Prevent potential possible irritants such as direct exposure to the sun, bacteria, and chemical irritants.
- Clean the area thoroughly. After your microneedling session, even your go-to face cleanser could make your skin more irritated, red, and dry. To remove any possible filth or grime, wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap and lukewarm water, then dry them with a fresh towel.
- Use moisturizer. The foundation of excellent skin care is moisturizer. Your skin may feel a little drier and redder than usual after microneedling therapy. The redness can be diminished, and excellent moisture can be locked in with a dab of mild moisturizer.
- Drink your water. The key to life and good skin care is water! Water is crucial to producing collagen, which is why staying hydrated is vital following a microneedling treatment. In actuality, water makes up the majority of all bodily cells. Additionally, your body can manufacture better collagen cells the more hydrated you are, so drink up!
Are there risks?
Although microneedling is widely regarded as safe and thriving in the medical world, there are still common risks.
After microneedling, your skin may burn or feel tight for a few days or weeks. Additionally, some people have dry, flaky skin, which is improved with moisturizer. Most people require several microneedling sessions, often spaced 3 to 8 weeks apart. The treatment may then need to be repeated once a year for maintenance.
Conclusion
Microneedling is a great way to improve the appearance of your skin and can be used on all areas of the body, including the face, neck, and décolletage. It’s also effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring on the body. Injectables By Darcey Lee uses SkinPen to improve the body’s fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring.
