As we age, fine lines and wrinkles can appear across our faces and bodies. While fine lines and wrinkles are completely normal and healthy, their appearance may not be appealing to many. Reducing fine lines and wrinkles will provide you with smoother skin and confidence in your everyday makeup look. The process of microneedling has become a very popular service in recent years for many reasons, but mostly because of the skin-smoothing benefits it provides. Microneedling causes small injuries that help to trigger the body's healing response, causing necessary cell regeneration to reduce the appearance of deep lines, crows' feet, or smile lines. Let’s take a deeper look at how this process works and if it is right for you.
Microneedling, also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy, uses tiny needles to create a controlled approach to micro-injuries. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s healing process, which creates new cells, produces more collagen, and elastin. By signaling the body needs healing, the body will create new and healthy cells that can fill in these lines or divots that cause skin texture. Instead of using chemical-heavy products or getting surgery, microneedling is a less invasive option that can rejuvenate the look of your skin.
There are different types of microneedling that can help those with certain skin conditions, including fine lines and wrinkles, or with deep scars. Choosing the right type will depend on the area you want to target, your desired results, and how your skin reacts to these types of services.
The types of microneedling include:
The biggest benefit of microneedling is its ability to stimulate collagen. Your skin needs collagen to keep it firm, but as we age, collagen production naturally declines. By seeking microneedling services, you can help increase the amount of natural collagen in your skin, helping to promote younger-looking skin across the body. Collagen and elastin are produced daily, but after age 30, the amount produced may start to decrease. When the skin is injured, it may signal to the body to produce more of these chemicals, helping to slow the signs of aging.
Another benefit of microneedling is that it can help erase or minimize scars. Many of us can not control scars, which may cause us to feel embarrassed about them. The controlled injuries caused by microneedling can help break down scar tissue, replacing it with new skin cells that are healthier and less discolored. Microneedling has also been known to help acne scars, which are often deep and dark from cystic acne. Using microneedling to help improve the appearance of scars can save clients from having to undergo lasers, surgery, or dealing with unsightly scars for the rest of their lives.
Using skincare products to help moisturize, stimulate collagen production, or stop blemishes is key to healthy skin, but aging skin may not absorb the product fully. Product absorption through the tiny channels created in the skin by microneedling will help the product get past the base layer, providing benefits that are more apparent. The active ingredients in skincare need to reach the deeper layers of the skin to be most effective.
Similar to how microneedling causes collagen production, the small punctures can also improve elastin production, helping the skin to “bounce back” or tighten, especially around the eyes, lower arms, or neck. Tightening the skin helps clients to feel younger and look healthier. Tightening the skin can also help you avoid stretch marks caused by sagging skin or body changes, either caused by aging, weight changes, or pregnancy.
