Microneedling

Profiled as one of the most effective skin care solutions, microneedling has been applied in recent years with the aim of making active ingredients penetrate the skin at a deep level without having to undergo more invasive treatments.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive dermatological procedure in which multiple micropunctures are made in the skin with a device that contains micro-needles and controls the depth of those small incisions. The benefits of this technique rely mainly on its ability to produce a temporary and controlled mechanical alteration of the skin, without damaging the healthy epidermis.

Behind its physiology, it is found that the small damages of the needles initiate a fibroblastic response in the tissue of the dermis, achieving a greater production of collagen, and therefore retraction of the skin, thus improving its flaccidity. In the case of scars, the micro-needles perforate them multiple times, softening and blurring them.

Microneedling is recommended for those patients that want to:

• Combat skin aging, burn and acne scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks.
• Promote the penetration of cosmetic actives, such as vitamin C, retinol, or hyaluronic acid.
• Thicken the epidermis.
• Significantly improve skin conditions, such as melasma and vitiligo.

By performing micropunctures that close in a short time, the risk of infection, necrosis, or other complications is almost zero. In addition, this is a procedure that does not cause any pain or discomfort, factors that make this one of the favorites for those who want to improve the appearance of their skin in a few sessions.
