Micro-Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy) is an innovative skin rejuvenation treatment that can improve the overall appearance of the skin with minimal down-time. The micro-needling process involves the creation of microscopic channels through the surface of the skin, which leads to formation of new tissue and releases the skin’s natural growth factors which promotes scar and hyperpigmentation repair and healing. This can be enhanced by application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), growth factor gels, kojic acid, and hyaluronic acid based skin rejuvenation treatments.
By creating minor skin injury during the procedure, the skin’s natural healing process initiates the production of new collagen and elastin fibers that thicken the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, acne scarring, sun damage, and stretch marks.
WHAT CONDITIONS CAN MICRO-NEEDLING IMPROVE?
As we age, our skin gets dry and dull and signs of sun damage commonly appear over time. Micodermabrasion reverses the signs of aging to deliver supple, glowing skin in just one treatment. During the treatment, a top layer of the skin is exfoliated and unwanted dead cells are removed leaving the skin supple and glowing. Microdermabrasion is a safe, well-tested procedure that can be used in combination with Photofacial, Chemical Peels and Micro-needling.
It is a resurfacing procedure that gently exfoliates the top layer of skin and removes the unwanted dead cells by vacuuming them away. Removing this top layer of dead skin, the skin looks and feels smoother. Microdermabrasion promotes better circulation in the face and significantly enhances collagen production, responsible for cell and skin renewal.
