Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is one of our most popular skincare treatments at SkinPerfected. Microneedling in LaGrange works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes by creating tiny “wounds” in the skin. Although it may seem far fetched, it’s one of the most effective skin rejuvenation treatments available. Here are some of our top benefits of microneedling and how it can transform your look.
Improved Skin Texture and Tone
Microneedling can smooth skin texture and even tone. Promoting collagen production helps smooth out uneven skin and reduce the appearance of scars, including textured acne scars (in fact, it’s one of our most recommended options for acne scars). It can also help manage hyperpigmentation and dullness, leading to a more even and radiant complexion.
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
One of the top benefits of microneedling is its ability to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin decreases, leading to sagging skin and the formation of wrinkles. In fact, this process begins as early as age 30. Microneedling encourages the growth of new collagen fibers, which can help thicken and tighten the skin, making fine lines less noticeable and creating a more youthful look.
Acne and Blackhead Reduction
Microneedling is a great option for those dealing with acne, especially blackheads. The sterile needles can help clear clogged pores, reducing the occurrence of breakouts, and can even shrink the appearance of pores. It can be particularly effective when combined with professional-grade skincare products to enhance its effects and prevent future breakouts. We have even found that alternating with our superficial and medium depth chemical peels by AlumierMD can further improve active acne breakouts and give an additional boost to reduce inflammation and improve acne marks.
Prevention of Premature Aging
Regular microneedling sessions can be a valuable part of an anti-aging regimen. By consistently promoting collagen production, microneedling helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness, preventing the formation of new wrinkles and keeping the skin looking vibrant and youthful.
Minimal Downtime and Versatility
Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. While some mild side effects like swelling, redness, and dryness are common, these typically fade quickly. After your procedure, for the first 24 hours we recommend you avoid all skincare products and makeup with the exception of the post care product we supply you. Your Skincare Specialist will give you specific instructions on what you can begin after that 24 hours but it is key to hydrate the skin and apply daily sun protection post procedure and be more careful in the sun the week after your Microneedling treatment.
