Aesthetic Benefits of Microneedle Therapy

 

Microneedling has been used for over a hundred years to treat a variety of skin imperfections and other aesthetic issues. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses hypodermic needles to stimulate collagen and elastin production and healing in the skin. Here are just a few of the conditions and imperfections that microneedle therapy can help to treat in order to give you smoother skin and a more even complexion.

Wrinkles

Wrinkles are a common complaint as we age. Over time, your body begins producing significantly less collagen, which is what provides your skin with the elasticity and plumpness that keeps it smooth in your younger years. This means that gravity, sun damage, and other environmental factors begin to take a heavier toll on your skin, quite literally dragging it down and leading to wrinkles. These are most commonly seen between the eyebrows, on the forehead, at the corners of the eyes, and around the mouth.

Microneedling stimulates collagen production, as mentioned above, which can help to plump up your skin again and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, wherever they may be.

Scars

Whether you have facial scarring from acne or something else, it can greatly impact your confidence in your skin’s appearance. The use of microneedling can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring. Again, the stimulation of collagen production can help to plump up those pock parks and fill them out for a smoother look, while kick starting the body’s healing response to further heal the damage to your skin. Whether your scars are ice pick, boxcar, or rolling acne scars, this treatment can help to reduce their appearance.

Age Spots

Discoloration is another common complaint later in life. Age spots can begin to appear on your skin, leaving you with an uneven complexion. Microneedle therapy can help to reduce the appearance of these spots and give your skin a lustrous glow without the use of heavy makeup.

Acne

Microneedling doesn’t just help to heal the scars that acne leaves behind; it can actually help to fight your acne too! Acne is actually a form of bacterial infection in your skin, and microneedle therapy can help to stimulate the healing response needed to fight that infection. While it’s generally not a good idea to get a microneedle treatment during an active acne flare-up (this can actually spread the acne bacteria), if you have acne-prone skin, you can seek a treatment between flare-ups to help promote healthier, smoother skin and reduce the severity of your next breakout.

Hyperpigmentation

Age spots aren’t the only kind of skin discoloration that can be treated with microneedling. If you have dark spots from acne, hormonal changes, medications, or sun damage, this therapy can help. Microneedling usually works best for pigmentation that is in the epidermis; if the discoloration is deeper and reaches the dermis, other treatments may be a better option. Please consult with one of our experts to determine the best treatment for your hyperpigmentation.

Stretch Marks

Whether from pregnancy or simple growth spurts in your youth, many people are bothered by their stretch marks. Stretch marks can vary in appearance from thing white lines to very dark purple lines. If you’re bothered by your stretch marks, consider scheduling a microneedling treatment. The same concepts that apply to healing scars and discoloration apply here: The stimulation of collagen and elastin production, as well as the body’s healing response, will help to reduce the appearance of those stretch marks.

Hair Loss

While most commonly used for improving the appearance of the skin, recent developments in microneedling have shown that it can help with hair loss as well. The same process of creating micro-injuries that promote skin regeneration can also help to stimulate the hair follicles in the scalp. This can result in new hair growth and can thicken thinning hair. There’s even evidence that it can help with hair loss associated with alopecia areata.

If you are struggling with any of the above issues, reach out to Le Bella Med Spa today to schedule an appointment. Our skin care experts can evaluate your skin and determine how many microneedling treatments you’ll need to help you see significant improvement in your skin’s condition. In most cases, you should expect to have between four and six treatments in order to see lasting results. Give us a call today to schedule your first appointment, and get on the path to smoother, healthier, more beautiful skin!

Fibroblast: A Non-Surgical Skin-Tightening Solution

Image
Droopy eyelids, crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines around the mouth, age spots—is that all  you’re seeing when you look in the mirror? While these changes in your skin are a natural part  of  aging, they shouldn’t detract from who you are. They shouldn’t hide the beautiful, joyful person that you are, and you shouldn’t feel the urge to hide your face because of them. But what can you do about them? Is surgery the only option? We offer a non- surgical solution to all these problems: Fibroblast. Keep reading to learn more about this skin-tightening treatment.   How Does It Work? Fibroblast involves no cutting or stitching. Instead, we use a pen-like device that transmits an electrical signal to the upper layers of the skin, while transmitting heat to the lower dermal layers.
