At Aesthetic World Clinic, we offer micro-needling as an option to give your skin a healthier, more rejuvenated appearance. Dr. Swati and her team have extensive experience with micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT).
What is micro-needling?
Micro-needling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a treatment that uses sterile, fine needles to create invisible, microscopic holes in the top layer of your skin, known as the epidermis. Micro-needling triggers your skin’s natural healing ability as it reacts to the tiny punctures we make. Your skin’s healing reaction results in the release of growth factors which also causes an increase in the amount of collagen produced in your skin — all part of the healing process.
The importance of collagen
Our bodies make less and less collagen as we age. With micro-needling, we boost the amount of collagen made by your skin. The result? You’ll see a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, acne, dark spots, melasma, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and scars. Micro-needling also acts to tighten your skin by improving its tone, and enhances your skin’s texture.
How does it work?
As the name suggests, micro-needling involves the use of multiple tiny needles that puncture the skin. From the comfort of our clinic,We perform micro-needling right in our clinic. First, we clean the area of your skin that’s going to be treated. Then we apply a topical, local anesthetic to help numb your skin, and allow it to work for 45-60 minutes before your procedure. After we do the micro-needling, we apply sterile saline to your skin. The actual micro-needling procedure takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. The process works by increasing the production of collagen, an essential protein that keeps the skin firm with a smooth texture. As you age, the collagen in your skin decreases, leading to fine lines around delicate areas or deep-set wrinkles. When the micro-openings heal, your skin tone and texture gradually improve. A series of treatments may be necessary for optimal results.
Five benefits of micro-needling
This cosmetic procedure is so popular because it doesn’t involve surgery and is suitable for all skin tones and types, including darker, thin, and sensitive skin. Still not convinced? Here are five benefits of micro-needling treatments:
Improves skin texture
Starting around age 30, two vital components of your skin, collagen and elastin, begin to diminish. Micro-needling induces your skin’s healing response. Your skin reacts to the procedure almost immediately and works to close the micro-wounds. Your skin is noticeably softer and has a smoother texture following treatment.
Diminishes the appearance of scarring
This treatments reduce acne scars in the same way that they improve the overall texture of your skin. When scarring occurs, your body undergoes fibrosis, which pulls the skin down, creating unsightly irregularities on the surface. You may also suffer hyper-pigmentation from pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads.
Micro-needling remedies any changes in the color of your skin that can make it appear blotchy.
Reduces acne including blackheads
If you still suffer from acne or blackheads, you may benefit from micro-needling treatments. As the sterilized needles poke holes in the uppermost layer of your skin, they remove the source of the recurring blackhead in the process. Following the procedure, your pores should be visibly smaller, especially around your nose.
Makes fine lines and wrinkles less apparent
Microneedling turns back the hands of time by targeting fine lines and wrinkles. When the dermapen device breaks into the dermis, it triggers growth factors, which allow your skin to repair itself rapidly. Your body stimulates the natural production of collagen, ultimately tightening skin and reducing wrinkles in the process.
Prevents signs of aging
Consider adding microneedling treatments to your regular self-care and anti-aging routine. Microneedling is highly effective in stopping early signs of aging or preventing new wrinkles from forming. Combining regular microneedling sessions with powerful antioxidant serums, like vitamin C, allows your skin to successfully stay luminous and youthful-looking for longer.
Who is not a candidate for micro-needling?
Microneedling is approved by the FDA for all skin types.Having some medical conditions may prohibit you from being a candidate for microneedling. For example, a history of keloid scarring and scleroderma may mean microneedling isn’t for you. There are other conditions that may change how microneedling affects your skin, so a full disclosure of your medical history is important so that your individual needs can be addressed.
Also, if you’ve had any other procedures performed on the area you want us to treat with microneedling, make sure you tell us. For best results, sometimes you may need to wait a bit before having another treatment on that same area.
Side effects of microneedling
You can lower your risk of minor side effects by taking a few precautions. Drink plenty of water before the treatment and don’t wear makeup to your appointment. After treatment, don’t exfoliate or use skin products containing alcohol. Avoid excessive sun exposure and limit strenuous physical activity.
We may suggest combining your microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or exosomes, which are forms of regenerative medicine that enhances the wound healing process to optimize the results of your treatment.
