Microneedling: The Science at Work
Collagen Production: Collagen is the primary structural protein in the skin, responsible for maintaining its strength and resilience. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to the formation of wrinkles and sagging skin. Microneedling promotes collagen production by creating controlled injuries that prompt the body to repair and regenerate the skin, resulting in a smoother and firmer complexion.
Elastin Formation: Elastin is another critical protein that gives the skin its ability to stretch and bounce back. Microneedling encourages elastin production, helping the skin regain its youthful elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Improved Product Absorption: The tiny channels created by microneedles allow for better absorption of topical skincare products. This means that serums and creams used post-treatment are more effectively delivered to the deeper layers of the skin, maximizing their benefits.
