The benefits of adding microneedling to your skincare routine
Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that has gained popularity due to its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin, resulting in a more youthful, radiant complexion. The procedure involves creating tiny punctures in the skin using small, fine needles, which trigger the body's natural healing response.
As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin, which can lead to sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. Microneedling may help reverse these signs of aging by stimulating collagen elastin production, resulting in plumper, stronger and smoother-looking skin. In addition to its anti-aging benefits, microneedling can also improve acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and reduce pore size.
When used in conjunction with certain skincare products or procedures, such as chemical peels or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), microneedling can enhance their effectiveness by allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin. For instance, when combined with PRP growth factor therapy, microneedling creates microchannels in the skin that allow the PRP growth factor to penetrate deeper into the dermis, resulting in increased collagen production and improved texture and tone of the skin.
While there are at-home versions of microneedling devices available on the market, it is recommended to have this type of treatment performed by a licensed professional who has been trained in proper technique and safety measures. Our microneedling devices whether it’s our Microneedling pen or our Secret Pro Microneedling RF, are medical grade, Health Canada approved devices. Modern You Medical Aesthetics offers microneedling treatments performed by highly trained nurses who utilize the latest techniques and safety measures to ensure optimal results.
During the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to make the patient comfortable, and the treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on the areas being treated. After the treatment, the patient may experience some redness or sensitivity, which usually subsides within a few days.
Microneedling Benefits Summary:
Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy because it stimulates the production of collagen, which is essential for healthy skin. Collagen is a protein that gives skin its structure and strength, and it helps to keep the skin smooth, firm, and elastic.
The tiny punctures created during a microneedling treatment also stimulate the wound response, increasing blood flow and oxygenation to the skin, which can help to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin.
Microneedling can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that typically requires little to no downtime, patients may experience mild redness, dryness and sensitivity to the treated areas for a few days after the treatment.
Microneedling can be performed on different parts of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands. Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) can be used almost anywhere on the body.
In addition to stimulating collagen elastin production, microneedling can also help to improve the absorption of topical skincare products by creating tiny channels in the skin that allow the products to penetrate deeper into the dermis for optimal absorption
Microneedling can be performed with different types of devices, including handheld rollers, pens, and stamps. The depth of the needles and the number of passes over the skin can be adjusted depending on the individual patient's needs.
While microneedling is generally considered safe, it is important to have the procedure performed by a trained and licensed professional to minimize the risk of complications and use Health Canada approved devices only.
Patients who are pregnant or have certain medical conditions, such as active acne or eczema, may not be candidates for microneedling. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if microneedling is right for you.
