Microneedling is also called collagen induction therapy because it transforms and strengthens your skin by stimulating the growth of collagen fibers. These fibers keep your skin firm, but their development declines as you get older.
Your skin becomes less firm as a result, which contributes to wrinkles and sagging. During a microneedling treatment at Eviaesthetics, Dr. Nano uses a handheld device to make tiny controlled injuries on the surface layer of your skin. The needlepoint injuries are small and heal rapidly. A crucial part of the healing process that microneedling stimulates is collagen production. If you’re interested in enhancing your treatment for even brighter skin, you may have the option to add platelet-rich plasma, which is a substance full of growth factors, to your treatment.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
Microneedling offers considerable benefits for your skin’s appearance and overall health. Due to the growth of collagen, it can take some time to see the full effect. However, many satisfied patients agree that the improvements are worth the wait. Microneedling can help minimize or treat:
Acne scars
Injury scars
Stretch marks
Sun damage
Fine lines and wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation
Large pores
Does microneedling hurt?
Thanks to the numbing cream that Dr. Nano applies before your microneedling treatment at Eviaesthetics, the procedure isn’t painful. Once the cream kicks in, you won’t feel any sensation on the skin she is treating. You might experience some mild discomfort and redness once the numbness wears off, similar to a sunburn. Dr. Nano gives you detailed aftercare instructions to minimize healing time and help you avoid complications like skin infections, which are rare. Even after your skin heals, you should continue to use sun protection every day to minimize sun damage and maintain longer results.
