More on Skin Needling...
What makes Skin Needling so effective?
What makes skin needling an effective treatment option is a result of what is happening to the skin after it is needled over the next 3 plus months.
Your skin will appear to be visibly healed after 24-48 hours but the healing process is continuously happening beneath the surface for several months. This natural healing process is what makes the treatment so effective.
The fibroblast cells which are the cells that make collagen and elastin will migrate to the injured site and produce and deposit new extracellular matrix. The new matrix cross-links and organizes itself and over time, new collagen will:
- fill in any depressed scars and deep lines that are present
- break down and reorganize any scar tissue
- realign and stimulate new pigmentation
After a few months, this new collagen will start to shorten. This leads to the slow tightening of the skin. Over time this healing process will lead to the formation of a thick layer of collagen, healthy elastin and improved blood flow at the initial injury site. Each needles pinprick healing process will blend together to lay down an almost continuous sheet of collagen.
What makes this a great treatment option?
- The surface of the skin (epidermis) remains intact so the risks are very minimal, skin heals very quickly and there is minimal downtime. Unlike re-surfacing lasers that destroy the surface layer leading to substantial downtime, and higher risks.
- The needling does not damage the skin but rather leads to thicker, healthier skin.
- It is a cost-effective option compared to laser treatments.
What to do to ensure you get the most out of your skin needling treatments?
- Make sure you are on a good home care program that consists of vitamin A serum, vitamin C powder, and potent antioxidants. We also highly recommend using Catalyst and Stem Factor. Learn more about these two products (click here).
- Use a homecare roller weekly to ensure your are getting the most out of your products and also preventing congestion of the skin that can lead to breakouts and dull look of the skin.
