Has your skin been giving away your age? Over time, our skin begins to stop producing as much collagen and elastin—two essential components to keeping it young, taut, and smooth. A growing number of patients have started turning to non-surgical treatment options for their skin problems like wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.
Minimally invasive treatments like microneedling offer results that sometimes rival those of cosmetic surgery while not requiring, or requiring very little, downtime.
What Is Microneedling?
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment involving the safe and controlled creation of micro-channels, or micro-injuries, to the surface layer of skin, triggering the stimulation of new collagen and elastin fibers. This versatile procedure helps solve a wide range of skin conditions and works with your body in a more natural way.
Deborah Miller, MD, and Shauna McLaughlin, PA-C, use two different types of microneedling treatments. The first is microneedling with radiofrequency, or RF, to jumpstart collagen production, smooth fine lines, minimize pores and scars, and noticeably improve skin texture.
The second microneedling method is microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, which uses your body’s own blood cells to trigger soft tissue rejuvenation naturally.
What To Expect From A Microneedling Treatment
After thoroughly cleansing the targeted area, a device will be gently guided across the surface of your skin to form thousands of microscopic openings. These openings will stimulate your body’s natural healing mechanisms and fill these tiny channels with a new collagen matrix to diminish past damage and signs of aging.
Would You Make a Good Candidate?
Those who make excellent candidates for a microneedling treatment include:
Individuals with fine lines and wrinkles. While microneedling cannot effectively treat deep lines and wrinkles, it can soften the skin to reduce the appearance of developing lines around the mouth or eyes. With an increase in collagen production following the treatment, the skin will look smoother, tighter, and help prevent further wrinkles and sagging.
Individuals with uneven skin texture. Even if your acne cleared up years ago, you could still be left with deep indentations, discoloration, and uneven skin texture. Microneedling is an excellent treatment option for acne scars because it encourages the production of new, healthy skin cells that will create a smooth, more even appearance on the surface. This procedure is also great for individuals with enlarged pores.
Individuals with uneven skin tone. Microneedling can help break apart hyperpigmentation caused by age or sun damage through the years. The micro-channels created using the device effectively separate the pigmentation marks and restore your skin to an even tone.
