Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars on the face and body. Collagen is a substance created in your body that helps your skin look youthful, firm, smooth, and pliable.
As you age and incur skin injuries, your production of collagen and elastin naturally decreases. Microneedling treatment uses several tiny needles arranged on a roller to create controlled puncture wounds in the skin.
The puncture wounds stimulate the body to increase its own collagen and elastin production. The increase in collagen and elastin production works to heal the micro-wounds. The healing process increases the plumpness of your skin, which decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Microneedling is appropriate for all skin types. If you experience any of the following, microneedling may be an option for you:
Those suffering from keloid scarring, active infection, and acne are not good candidates for microneedling. Your provider at Salinas Valley Medical Aesthetics will discuss your expectations and goals with you to help determine if microneedling is right for you.
