Microneedling is a unique treatment available at Eden MedSpa of Charlotte, North Carolina. It is commonly used to improve the skin’s appearance, texture, and tone while treating normal skin issues such as facial redness, acne scars, and more. Our cofounder & licensed aesthetician, NG, can administer this treatment and talk to our clients about its many benefits.
Microneedling: how does it work?
The microneedling treatment stimulates the skin’s natural healing process by creating controlled micro-injuries. This is done using a device called a Dermapen, which uses tiny needles to pierce the skin’s top layer. As a result, collagen and elastin production are triggered, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. When combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or stem cell derived collagen stimulator, the results can be quite dramatic.
The four benefits of microneedling skin treatment
- Stimulates natural collagen production: Microneedling is described by our team as a procedure during which a device will create tiny punctures in the skin with fine needles. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Collagen is a protein that gives skin its structure, while elastin allows the skin to stretch and then bounce back. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. By boosting collagen and elastin production through microneedling, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking.
- Improves the appearance of scars: Microneedling is also considered an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of any scars, including acne and surgical scars. The tiny needles used in the procedure break up the scar tissues and stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin cells. Over time, this will lead to a noticeable improvement in the texture and overall scar look.
- Enhances product absorption: Another benefit of the microneedling procedure is that it allows for much better absorption of skincare products. The micro-injuries created by the needles create channels in the skin, allowing topical products to penetrate deeper into the skin’s layers. Any serums or creams applied after a microneedling session will more effectively target specific skin concerns and deliver their benefits.
- Safe for most skin types: Unlike other cosmetic procedures, microneedling is generally safe for most skin types and tones. It does not involve harsh chemicals or heat, making it a gentler option for sensitive skin. It also has minimal downtime, with most people experiencing mild redness and sensitivity for a day or two after treatment. However, it is always important to consult a dermatologist or trained professional before undergoing any cosmetic procedure.
