If you recognize me at all, you recognize by now microneedling is among my all-time preferred treatments at our San Diego workplace.

What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is as easy as it appears: small needles are made use of to induce micro-injuries on the skin in order to boost the body's wound healing process as well as in turn boost collagen and elastin. The boost in collagen and elastin is the best treatment for many skin worries: whatever from acne scarring, fine lines as well as wrinkles, to loosened skin, skin appearance, pore dimensions as well as hyperpigmentation.

I enjoy seeing my San Diego clients leave of microneedling treatments with plump, glowing skin that's recovered normally with the body's very own systems. This therapy truly is all about improving as well as highlighting your all-natural best.

The History of Microneedling
While microneedling has recently hit the mainstream due to brand-new modern technology advancements, the treatment in fact goes back to the 1980s when skin specialist Dr. Phillippe Simonin discovered that facelift patients who had actually gone through camouflage tattooing after surgical procedure to conceal scars showed considerable improvement in exactly how their scars showed up. In the 1990s, dermatologists further verified the connection between the tattoo procedure making use of needles as well as scar renovation. Needless to say, it's a reliable technique.

A Breakdown of the Microneedling Refine
There are formalities to the treatment and also the skin's healing process, yet generally the therapy is extremely simple. Microneedling entails using a pen-like tool (we make use of the Collagen P.I.N., which has a 36-needle cartridge and a flexible needle depth of up to 3.0 mm). The needles of the P.I.N. tool produce small facial punctures that signify your body to repair the damaged skin. This signal kickstarts a recovery process that eventually causes: cell turnover that develops brand-new veins as well as decreases the appearance of scarring, and raised collagen and elastin production in the facial layer of skin. In easier terms, by switching on the body's natural healing procedure, skin becomes a lot more strong, lifted, lively, smooth, and also younger.

The Benefits of Microneedling
Without getting unfathomable in the core science, the benefits of microneedling ultimately breaks down to 2 significant classifications:

1. Microneedling encourages your body to create collagen and also elastin.
As we age, we normally produce less elastin as well as hyaluronic acid, and also we begin to lose our collagen by as much as 50%. Hey there, creases and saggy skin.

When microneedles are placed right into the skin, the injury signifies the skin to generate more collagen and elastin as a repair service and also protection mechanism. A 2008 study exposed that skin treated with 4 microneedling sessions, spaced one month apart, generated as much as a 400% boost in collagen and also elastin 6 months after finishing the therapy. In addition, collagen development can turn around sunlight damages, lower staining, and also plump up the skin around pores so that they appear tightened. Rather than welcoming in wrinkles, say hello to elastic, invigorated, even as well as plump skin. Now that's aging-well!

2. Microneedling opens up the skin to allow better infiltration of items.
Not just does microneedling increase collagen as well as elastin production, it likewise opens up the skin to allow topical items, like Vitamin C and also hyaluronic acid, to permeate deeper and also function more effectively. Products like these are essential to keeping collagen manufacturing as well as targeting cells that affect skin coloring. This is just how microneedling eventually can influence acne scarring and hyperpigmentation over time.

When your products work much better, your skin looks better.

Exactly How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling can look and also seem scary (no one enjoys needles!), however the process is in fact minimally invasive and almost painless.

Before Microneedling

Microneedling is most famously performed on the skin of the face, neck, as well as décolletage. But, it can likewise be used on the hands, arms, legs, stretch marks, abdomen and also back for skin tightening as well as rejuvenation.

After Microneedling
A lot of customers experience a sunburn-like redness quickly complying with the therapy for 1-2 days. Then some areas of "bronzing" where the skin can dim, completely dry and slough off might take place for 1-2 days.

Once this all subsides, you'll observe a fresh, glowing skin tone. I call it the "day 10 radiance."

After the therapy, you should prevent too much sunlight exposure for 72 hours as well as any type of workout for the initial 12 hours to stop added inflammation and discomfort.

What to place on skin after microneedling therapy?
I urge my customers to stick with the Message Treatment Lineup for the 4 days of 'healing' adhering to the therapy. This lineup includes clean, paraben-free, dimethicone-free, fragrance/dye-free items that will certainly make certain fast recovery with great results.
