Microneedling

This type of minimally invasive professional treatment utilizes a device with fine needles that penetrate the skin to create micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries in the skin trigger the body’s healing process which helps to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin promoting a more youthful-looking, firmer and smoother complexion.

Microneedling at a Glance

Microneedling is available in a variety of products such as AquaGold® using a device to create micro-injuries in the skin that stimulate natural collagen production. Collagen promotes skin elasticity and firmness contributing to an overall more youthful looking appearance. Microneedling promotes skin rejuvenation, reduces the visibility of acne scars or hyperpigmentation and smooths wrinkles. Combined with Vitamin C or Retinol, microneedling can be a minimally invasive addition to the skincare routines of all skin types to address a variety of skin concerns.

What to Know About Microneedling

Topical Vitamin C and Retinol use can enhance and prolong the results of microneedling. Vitamin C supports collagen production and brightens skin tone, while retinol promotes cell turnover and smooths texture. However, both are potent actives that dermatologists typically recommend reintroducing them a few days post-treatment to avoid irritation and maximize the rejuvenating effects of microneedling. Incorporating a Vitamin C serum, such as C E Ferulic®, into your routine before and following microneedling treatment can further efforts to promote firmer, brighter and smoother skin.
