Microneedling with H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery
NON-SURGICAL METHODS FOR RECOVERING YOUR YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE
Over time, your face may start to exhibit signs of age, sun damage, or everyday wear-and-tear. For example, many of us have had the experience of looking in the mirror and being surprised at the wrinkles, fine lines, or other blemishes we see before us. If you’ve had this experience and wish to learn about non-surgical methods for recovering your youthful appearance, we’d invite you to learn more about microneedling. We’re pleased to offer microneedling facial treatments here at H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery.
Collagen induction therapy – better known as microneedling – is a non-invasive skin rejuvenating treatment that boosts collagen production in the skin. The treatment works to restore suppleness, improve texture, and plump up the skin without damaging the epidermis.
Microneedling stimulates collagen production by gently using a patented needling device (such as the RejuvePen® or SkinPen®) over the surface of the skin. The fine needles make microscopic channels, and these tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing response to produce more collagen. Completing a treatment boosts collagen production by up to 80%. The increased collagen thickens and rejuvenates the skin, making scars, age spots, enlarged pores, rough skin texture and hyperpigmentation less noticeable.
Microneedling, performed by an H/K/B Med Spa Aesthetician, is proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and to help delay the signs of aging. Microneedling treatments are suitable for young and aged skin alike, and can help you achieve a more youthful, even, and refreshed appearance in just a few treatments.
The treatment also helps skin care products sink deeper into the skin. The result? Your day and night skin care regimen just got even more effective! In fact, lab tests show that skin serums become up to 1,000 times more effective after micro needling. The treatment opens up the pores so the product is absorbed more deeply, compared with untreated skin.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a non-surgical, cosmetic treatment fully approved by the FDA to address wrinkles, acne scars, fine lines, and other facial blemishes. The procedure is performed with a small device that creates “micro injuries” across the surface of the skin and the dermis layer that’s just below it. These micro injuries are caused by tiny needles, which very subtly puncture the skin and make small holes. This may sound like an unusual way to repair or rehabilitate the skin, but actually, it’s highly effective. The secret to microneedling is that it taps into the skin’s own ability to heal and restore itself. By puncturing the skin, we can actually jump-start the body’s built-in healing process. The injured skin responds to the micro injuries by releasing numerous growth factors, including collagen and other elastic tissue. In other words, by damaging the skin, microneedling actually prompts the body to develop a healthy new layer of skin – skin that looks youthful and unblemished.
