Microneedling rejuvenates your skin and lifts years off your body from the inside out. One of the most significant benefits of the microneedling procedure is that it does not require surgery. Simi Doctor Aesthetics & Medical Spa’s innovative microneedling skincare treatment options will make you feel like a new person without ever having to go under the knife. Keep reading to find out why doctors recommend microneedling to anyone looking for a quick refresh!
1. Wrinkle Repair and Skin Tightening
The microneedling process employs groupings of tiny, concentrated needles on your skin to create pinholes on the target area of your skin. These tiny pinpricks stimulate your skin’s healing process and encourage the production of collagen and elastin proteins, which help your skin stay taut, flexible, and smooth. Without these proteins, wrinkles form much more quickly, and the skin does not recover its shape as easily when shifted.
2. Anti-Aging
Your skin naturally loses its elasticity as you age. Microneedling serves as a proactive measure to counteract the signs of aging before they appear. The procedure can slow down the formation of some visual components of aging, such as wrinkles and creases. The non-surgical treatment removes damaged, aging outer layers of skin to allow new, unblemished skin to take its place.
3. Minimal Pain
Despite what you might guess, the microneedling procedure is not painful. Your doctor will treat the target area with a topical anesthetic cream to numb the skin prior to treatment. Though there may be some pain following the procedure, it should subside within 48 hours of treatment. The treatment area may also be red or swollen for several days, but these effects are expected and will fade. If you have persisting pain, redness, or swelling at the treatment site, contact your healthcare provider.
4. Visible Scar Reduction
Facial scars can undoubtedly lower your self-confidence. If you are worried about cosmetic surgery scars, stubborn acne scars, or unexpected injury scars, microneedling can reduce their appearance. The treatment encourages your skin cells to grow a new, healthy outer dermal layer. Over time, this newly grown skin will minimize the appearance of scar tissue.
5. Reversal of Smoking Effects
Poor health habits, like smoking, can speed up the aging process. Smoking results in dry, sagging skin, uneven pigmentation, and deep facial wrinkles and furrows in young and old people alike. Microneedling can negate these effects and help restore your appearance. It should be noted that, while microneedling is effective at lessening facial blemishes, it is not a cure-all. Your skin will return to its less lustrous form if you continue heavy smoking and do not commit to taking care of your skin. You need to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prolong the results of your microneedling treatment.
6. Healing From Sun Overexposure
Your skin is susceptible to damage from the sun. The more time you spend outside without UV protection, the more you put your skin at risk of UV exposure. Though humans need some ultraviolet light to contribute to vitamin D production, too much of it can damage tissues and cells of the skin. Microneedling can repair some damage to the surface of your skin, though you may need further treatment for excessive sun damage.
7. Healthy Protein Production
Collagen is the most prominent building block of healthy, hydrated skin. Your body produces collagen naturally, which is why healthy skin is tight and smooth. As you age, your skin produces less collagen, leading to the slowing of repair of damaged skin and the appearance of wrinkles. A quick microneedling treatment can stimulate new collagen production to avoid these effects.
