Skin rejuvenation with microneedling

The majority of us have established a skincare routine for ourselves, but sometimes our at-home efforts can only take us so far. That’s where microneedling comes in. This incredible treatment can give your complexion a fresh start by promoting new skin, reducing acne scars and large pores, boosting blood flow, and increasing collagen and elastin production. So, what exactly is microneedling? It’s a procedure that creates tiny channels in the skin, stimulating your skin’s natural healing process and rejuvenating it from the inside out. It’s performed by a trained practitioner using a microneedling device such as INFINI Premium mesopenONE™ II, a medical device that can treat all skin types and various conditions like acne scars, fine lines, and sun spots. INFINI Premium mesopenONE™ II ensures even pressure and prevents scarring or marking. Its sharp needles penetrate the skin at a 90-degree angle, delivering controlled results throughout the treatment. Plus, the needle sharpness remains consistent for up to 4 hours, providing 22,000 punctures per minute. With microneedling, you can take your skincare routine to the next level and achieve the best possible results.

This microneedling device utilises collagen induction, which means it creates tiny wounds on the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production and promote skin repair. By creating these small punctures, the body recognises that it has been injured and responds by producing new collagen and elastin. This healing process is similar to how the body repairs scrapes and cuts. In contrast to the microneedling pen, the derma roller is a handheld device with a revolving wheel that supports tiny micro needles. It can be rolled across the skin with varying depths depending on the pressure applied. INFINI Premium mesopenONE™ II microneedling is a newer technology that offers more control and adjustable depths within the same session. It is also faster than previous methods.

What benefits does microneedling provide for the skin?

Activate the production of both collagen and elastin – Activating the production of both collagen and elastin is actually beneficial for your skin. The process of microneedling, for example, stimulates collagen induction and increases the production of these proteins. Collagen and elastin play a crucial role in maintaining the skin’s volume, and elasticity, and minimising the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. So, despite any temporary discomfort, the results are definitely worth it.

Reduce the size of pores – Pores, the tiny openings on our skin’s surface, play a crucial role in regulating oil and sweat. While some pores are barely noticeable, others can be quite prominent. The size of pores can be influenced by various factors, with clogging being a common cause. Excess oil, dirt, and dead skin can lead to larger pores, which in turn attract more debris. To address this issue, microneedling offers an effective solution. By reaching inaccessible areas of the skin, microneedling can unclog pores and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in tighter and smaller pores.

Increase product absorption – By creating numerous minuscule punctures in the skin, products can penetrate fresh wounds and unclogged pores more efficiently. This not only enhances the number of pathways into the skin but also maximises the absorption of the product. Consequently, during a microneedling procedure, powerful serums are put on to the skin while the wounds are still open, guaranteeing optimal outcomes for you.

Eliminate or minimise the appearance of scars – Microneedling is a highly beneficial procedure for individuals with deep-set scars, particularly acne scars. This treatment effectively stimulates the production of new skin cells while simultaneously breaking down existing scar tissue. By boosting collagen levels, microneedling not only fills out the skin but also enhances the overall appearance of scars. Consequently, scars become less prominent and acquire a smoother texture, thanks to the increased collagen production.

Stimulate blood flow – When small wounds occur, the immune system smartly boosts blood circulation in the affected area. This allows for more oxygen and nutrients to reach the area and aid in the healing process, resulting in faster recovery. It’s not surprising that your facial skin, now enriched with oxygen and nutrients, will feel and appear healthier, exuding a natural radiance.

Does Microneedling hurt?

The majority of individuals who have tried microneedling have concluded that it can be a bit unsettling at times. However, that’s why it’s important to visit a professional who is experienced, uses numbing cream, and knows how to make you feel cared for. But don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it may seem – a lot of our staff and academy models love it! Some people find the sensation caused by microneedling to be quite mild, with sensitivity only in areas where the skin is thinner, like the forehead. In reality, everyone has a different pain tolerance, but microneedling is generally tolerable regardless of your threshold. This is especially true when you consider the potential for a healthy and rejuvenated complexion.

Who is microneedling suitable for?

Microneedling is a fantastic option for individuals with various skin concerns like acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, age spots, and fine lines and wrinkles. It’s suitable for all skin tones, so whether you have a lighter or darker complexion, there’s no need to worry about pigmentation issues. However, it’s important to note that microneedling is not recommended for women who are nursing or pregnant. Additionally, if you have conditions like psoriasis, severe eczema, extremely sensitive skin, collagen vascular diseases, fungal infections, keloid scars, or scleroderma, it’s best to avoid microneedling to prevent further skin irritation and damage. If you have active acne breakouts or skin infections, it’s advisable to wait until they have cleared up before undergoing microneedling. This will help avoid exacerbating acne inflammation or spreading infections to other areas of your body.

How many microneedling treatments are needed?

To achieve the best possible outcomes, it is strongly advised to follow a treatment plan comprising of three to six sessions. The number of sessions required may vary depending on the individual and the condition of their skin.

What type of aftercare is required after microneedling?

It is important to steer clear of direct sunlight and make sunscreen your best friend.

Prioritise aftercare once you have finished a microneedling treatment. The main goal of post-treatment aftercare is to give your skin the opportunity to recover and go back to its usual condition, this means that you should allow your skin to rest and avoid exposing it to heat and sunlight, as they can make your skin sweat and potentially irritate it. If your skin’s protective barrier has been compromised, it becomes more vulnerable to sun damage. Hence, it is essential to always wear sunscreen.

After your treatment is finished, it’s important to keep taking care of your skin. Remember to cleanse it with a gentle cleanser, apply a hydrating serum, and moisturise regularly.
