How Does Microneedling Work?
Collagen and elastin are two compounds that your body makes naturally, and they both work to keep your skin hydrated, nourished, and generally looking youthful and healthy. As part of the aging process, your body produces less and less collagen and elastin. Eventually, this leads to the formation of lines and wrinkles, in addition to a loss of volume and increased laxity. The microneedling procedure works by utilizing a series of tiny needles to create what are known as “microchannels” on the surface of your skin.
This essentially triggers your body’s wound response, which tells your body to send restorative compounds to the treatment area, while also boosting the production of collagen and elastin in a significant way.
The result is skin that looks more youthful, retains moisture far more effectively, and generally rejuvenates itself from the inside out, thanks to your body’s own natural healing capabilities. You’ll experience some redness and tenderness in the treatment area, but this will fade within a day or so, leaving you to enjoy your impressive results.
