Transform Your Skin: Everything to know about Microneedling

Why should I let someone poke multiple holes in my face!? I would never! Are you crazy?!

Imagine a future with a more even skin tone, fewer fine lines and wrinkles, and reduced pigmentation. Microneedling could be the key to this transformation. Are you ready to say goodbye to acne? Microneedling may just be what you are looking for!

Microneedling is a procedure that uses a medical-grade device with a multi-needle head. This device creates microchannels in the skin, triggering the inflammatory response. The controlled injury inflicted on the skin recruits immune cells to the injury site. This inflammatory phase is essential for clearing damaged tissue, promoting tissue repair, and stimulating collagen production. When the skin heals in a controlled manner, the new cellular growth just beneath that top layer of old, dull skin will shine.

Microneedling for dermatological treatment options from skin rejuvenation, acne scarring, rhytides, surgical scars, dyschromia, melasma, and transdermal drug delivery. Clinical results have been remarkable, with minimal recovery; this procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and practical to alternative, more invasive procedures such as laser skin resurfacing and deep chemical peeling.

Who can benefit from this?

Regardless of skin type or concerns, everyone can benefit from microneedling. Each person has their own vision of what they want their skin to be. Studies show that microneedling triggers the production of elastin and collagen, and signals the body to regenerate skin naturally. With the addition of herbal stem cell serum, your skin will assist the cells in reverting to their original state. These serums are commonly derived from Chinese Herbal Medicine and converted into stem cell therapy. These serums are used for conditions such as skin rejuvenation, pigmentation issues, and acne, as well as helping to regrow hair.

Studies have shown that microneedling stimulates growth factors through cellular transduction. This occurs after there is an injury. As a result, with the aid of proper skin care and custom-made herbal stem cell serums, there are fresher, cleaner, healthier, radiant, and overall improved skin cells. It enhances skin regeneration for a radiant, youthful glow.
