Microneedling is a non-surgical procedure designed to stimulate collagen production by gently puncturing the skin’s surface using minuscule needles. This treatment offers various benefits such as reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin tone, age-related spots, acne, minimizing pore size, enhancing skin firmness, diminishing scars, addressing stretch marks and even promoting hair growth.
The procedure involves the precise insertion of fine, short needles into the skin to promote rejuvenation. The concept is straightforward: by creating small wounds, the skin naturally responds by generating collagen and producing new skin cells. The extent of needle penetration determines the degree of skin rejuvenation, ranging from enhancing the absorption of skincare products to clinically treating scars and wrinkles.
While some gradual improvements may be noticeable after the initial treatment, it typically takes a minimum of four sessions to observe significant changes. Each treatment session builds upon the previous ones, leading to more pronounced and lasting results.
What is Nanoneedling?
Nanoneedling is similar to Microneedling, but instead of regular needles, it uses 81 tiny silicone tips that look like very small, hair-like cones. These little cones gently separate the skin cells on the top layer of your skin to help special skincare products get in. This treatment only affects the very top part of your skin, about as thin as a few sheets of paper. It can make your skin absorb up to 97% of the products you put on it.
Treatment benefits include reduction of pigmentation problems and faster renewal of skin, giving your skin a nice shine right away. This treatment can be done once a week to help remove dead skin cells. It can even be used on delicate areas like your upper lips and the area around your eyes.
Why Microneedling from an Acupuncturist?
Getting microneedling from an acupuncturist can offer unique advantages. Acupuncturists often have a holistic perspective on health and wellness, offering a combination of microneedling and traditional Chinese medicine techniques to address both your skin concerns as well as potential underlying imbalances in the body.
