FINE LINES AND WRINKLES  (crows feet / forehead lines / lip lines)

As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin diminishes, which leads to wrinkles and sagging skin. Wrinkling in the skin is also caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors.   Micro needling promotes a process of new skin growth through the science of Collagen Induction Therapy.  The most effective way to stimulate or “Induce” new skin safely and effectively is by micro needling.

ACNE SCARS AND SURGICAL SCARS

Micro needling can improve the appearance of atrophic acne scars and surgical scars. The micro needles work to naturally stimulate new collagen production in the area of the scar.  An added bonus is that you are not only decreasing the appearance of scars, but are addressing and delaying the signs of aging simultaneously. The physical nature of skin needling breaks up fibrous and uneven scar tissue and stimulates the growth of new tissue which results in a smoother and more even skin surface. Also, there is the added benefit of new capillary growth which improves the blood supply to the area, providing a healthy foundation for the new skin.

The down side of ablative, sub-ablative, and non-ablative treatments (such as Fraxel and CO2 lasers) is that these treatments use extreme heat which can evaporate and damage the fibroblast cells leading to a thinner epidermis. Micro needling, on the other hand, actually improves the health of the skin since the treatment is stimulating natural collagen growth factors and the epidermal growth factor which helps slow down thinning of the skin.

SKIN REJUVENATION

Micro needling treatments not only target specific imperfections but also provide an overall rejuvenation of the skin. The needling process improves micro-circulation in conjunction with collagen and elastin formation beneath the skin to thicken the dermis, reducing wrinkles.  You will notice improved skin texture, more even skin tone and an overall brightness to your skin. Undergoing a series of Micro needling treatments will not only provide visible results to the entire appearance of your skin, but it will slow down the signs of aging.

MINIMIZE PORE SIZE

Micro needling treatments will result in a more refined appearance of the pores.  There are two main culprits that contribute to the  appearance of enlarged pores.   The first culprit is congested skin.  When your pores are congested this will increase their appearance.  Secondly, pores will appear larger as our skin begins to age and the elasticity of our skin decreases. The Micro Needling treatments stimulate collagen and elastin which results in firming of the skin thereby reducing the appearance of large pores.

Additional benefits of Micro Needling include:

• Stimulates the production of collagen, tightening the skin
• Reduces the appearance of crows feet and lip lines
• Reduces the appearance of forehead lines and frown lines
• Assists in the absorption of cosmetic products
• Minimizes the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation and sun damage
• Reduces the appearance of acne scars and chicken pock scars
• Minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores
• Helps with rosacea by strengthening the skin
