Finding methods to truly rejuvenate your skin can be difficult. It may feel like healthy, smooth, and radiant skin is on the other side of wishful thinking. But, if you lean on the science-backed microneedling treatment, you can defy aging and reclaim younger-looking skin.
Learn more about how microneedling works and what you can expect from it.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Utilizing very small needles, the procedure creates punctures to wound the skin. The wounds are imperceptible to the naked eye and typically cause little more than redness and acute swelling, but are imperative to see the incredible results from microneedling.
The wounds initiate a healing response from the body that jumpstarts growth factors, circulation, nutrient allocation, cell proliferation, and more. Some of the benefits from this process include:
- Increased collagen production
- Increased quality of collagen
- Increased fibroblast activity
- Better circulation and skin health
- Improving the appearance of scars
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Depending on aspects such as skin type and overall health, the results of microneedling can last for weeks, if not longer.
What Does Science Say About Microneedling?
Numerous studies have looked at the efficacy and safety of microneedling. Studies have found clinical benefits including pigmentation relief, improvements to skin conditions such as wrinkles and fine lines, scars, hair growth, and enduring skin benefits.
For example, boosts to collagen quality have been noted to last as long as 5-7 years. Studies have shown that microneedling is “safe and effective.”
Further research into microneedling has demonstrated that the procedure can boost the effectiveness of other treatments, such as skin-aid creams and serums. One notable treatment that microneedling boosts is platelet-rich plasma treatment for cosmetic purposes.
PRP treatments have been shown to reduce wrinkles, increase skin health, increase scarring quality, and more. When coupled with the healing potency of microneedling, PRP treatments have an even greater efficacy.
