How Microneedling Repairs Severely Damaged Skin

Cosmetic lasers have come a long way since they were first introduced to aesthetic medicine. The newest lasers provide impressive results with less downtime than their predecessors, making them the go-to devices for helping patients with problems such as unwanted tattoos, scarring or hyperpigmentation. Now you can add “needling”, the new treatment removes scar tissue, deep lines, discoloration and tattoos.

In recent years, microneedling has risen in popularity and is now commonly used for treatments such as scar revision, hyperpigmentation and improvement in fine lines/wrinkles. The rise in the acceptance of microneedling among dermatological and surgical practices may be attributed to its ease-of-use, versatility, overall safety and consistently satisfactory results.

Microneedling works with the skin's natural ability to repair itself. Microneedling creates microchannels within your skin. This treatment allows for all the benefits of collagen induction therapy. With microneedling there is very little down-time.

Microneedling can treat all patients of all skin types and colors. This is important for people whose skin color may not make them a good candidate for other procedures and treatments. Microneedling does not depend on chromophores (pigment or color) to work. Therefore, it does not matter how dark one's skin tone is (naturally or if you've spent too much time in the sun) when considering a treatment. Microneedling can provide great results for people with all skin types.

Microneedling takes advantage of the skin's natural healing ability to safely deliver consistent results to patients with all skin types with little-to-no downtime.
