How micro needling works
Product absorption
One of the standout benefits of microneedling is its ability to significantly increase the absorption rate of topically applied skincare products. The skin acts as a natural barrier, often limiting how much of a product can penetrate its surface. Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin, temporarily disrupting this barrier and allowing for deeper penetration of active ingredients.
Clinically conducted studies have demonstrated that microneedling can enhance serum absorption by as much as 300%. This means that serums, such as those containing hyaluronic acid become far more effective when applied during microneedling. The enhanced absorption allows these ingredients to reach deeper layers of the skin, maximizing their benefits and contributing to improved skin hydration, repair, and rejuvenation.
Microneedling is a powerful treatment for various skin concerns, including acne scars, acne, and pigmentation issues. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the skin's natural healing process. This process leads to the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining smooth, firm, and youthful skin.
Acne Scars
The increased collagen production helps to remodel the scar tissue, gradually reducing the depth of acne scars and leaving the skin smoother over time.
Acne
Micro needling promotes skin cell turnover and enhances the absorption of acne-fighting topical treatments, unclogging pores and reducing inflammation. Although micro needling should NOT be used over active acne pustules.
Pigmentation
By stimulating skin cell turnover and encouraging new collagen production, micro needling helps to shed pigmented skin cells, leading to a more even skin tone and reduced dark spots.
Hair growth
Microneedling can help with hair growth by stimulating the scalp and promoting the regeneration of hair follicles. The tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the scalp, which trigger the body’s natural healing response. This healing process increases blood flow and the production of growth factors, which are essential for nourishing the hair follicles and promoting hair growth.
With consistent treatment, users can achieve a more refined complexion, making it a versatile tool in both acne and pigmentation management.
