Micro needling is a relatively recent skin care treatment that is actually based upon thousands of years of medical knowledge. People have known that controlled skin injury was the secret to encouraging the body to remodel its skin, leading to a reduction in skin imperfections like lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, and scars. The procedure can enhance the appearance of your skin and make you appear more vibrant and youthful.
How Does It Work?
Micro needling takes advantage of the fact that affecting the skin in a certain way triggers your body into a self-repair process that gradually remodels your skin over the course of time. The procedure is safe and effective for the minimization of common skin problems like wrinkles, scars, and other issues.
Each sweep of the micro needling device over the skin creates many tiny channels in your skin. These tiny micro-openings are normally not visible to the naked eye. Micro needling offers results that require some patience on behalf of the patient because the skin modeling process will take weeks to unfold. You should notice a gradual improvement in the appearance and quality of your skin during this time.
Combinations
In addition to making a very effective skin rejuvenation treatment in its own right, micro needling works extremely well when used in conjunction with other therapies. This is because the micro needling process forms many tiny channels that bypass the stratum corneum or outermost skin layer that normally prevents the passage of larger molecules.
The stratum corneum is composed of fats, dead skin cells, and cellular debris that can block topical treatments with larger molecular sizes. Micro needling allows for the enhanced effectiveness of any topical treatment.
Repeat Treatments
Many patients wonder if multiple micro needling treatment sessions will offer improved results. Most patients benefit from multiple treatment sessions since each treatment will build upon the results of prior treatments. You will notice a gradual improvement after every treatment.
