Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to treat a variety of specific skin concerns. This safe and effective aesthetic procedure can be used to reduce acne, scarring, and more. What are some of the specific skin concerns this treatment can target, and is it right for you? The Studio Med Spa provides microneedling and other skin rejuvenating treatments!

What is Microneedling? 

Microneedling helps to better the skin by stimulating collagen production. This procedure uses a small pen-like tool to make pinpricks to the skin, and the skin sees these tiny pricks as injuries, which in turn causes the skin to produce new collagen-rich tissue. The result of microneedling is firm, smooth, and even skin. At The Studio Med Spa, our team is dedicated to the ultimate microneedling experience by helping to apply both a topical anesthetic before the treatment, and a calming serum after the procedure is done. A microneedling procedure should only take a few hours, which means you do not have to take a large amount of downtime to recover. 

Just how effective is microneedling? Since the inception of the concept of microneedling in 1995, it has steadily gained popularity for its effectiveness. In fact, microneedling sometimes trumps other skin rejuvenating procedures because when done by a professional, there are no side effects of scarring or hyperpigmentation. These side effects may be present when it comes to other treatments. 

How Can Microneedling Better My Skin?

The microneedling procedure can ultimately help address a number of skin concerns. Some clinics even use microneedling to allocate topical tretinoin or vitamin C for the skin, in order to further rejuvenate the skin. Many patients continue to look into microneedling because it can help reduce the signs of skin troubles, while revealing plumper and revitalized skin. Some of the skin concerns microneedling can specifically target include: 

Acne Scars

Acne scars can develop after a deep bout of acne has passed. Similarly, if a person has continuously picked or attempted to pop a deep pimple or cyst, the result may be acne scarring. Many people may often feel self-conscious about acne scars on their face, but microneedling can be the perfect choice to treat this type of skin concern. Microneedling helps this issue by boosting the skin to develop new and ‘untouched’ tissue. 

Age Spots

Age spots are also commonly referred to as sun spots. Age spots are small areas of hyperpigmentation on the skin. They are often caused by years of exposure to the sun, and they are usually benign. However, many people may not be happy with the presence of this hyperpigmentation on their skin, which is where microneedling can help. 

Large Pores

The presence of large pores on the face can be bothersome for many, and there are a number of reasons why large pores may be present to begin with. Some of the factors that go into the development of large pores include genetics, sun damage, and aging. With aging, there is less elasticity to the skin, which in turns causes pores to look bigger. Other reasons for large pores include increased hair follicle volume or sebum production. Fortunately, microneedling can intervene in a positive way by helping to produce skin that is more supple and rich in elastin. 

Uneven Skin Tone 

An uneven skin tone can come about when least expected. Sun exposure, skin inflammation issues, and air pollution are just a few of the reasons why an uneven skin tone may strike. If you are suffering with an uneven skin tone that is bothersome, microneedling can help. Talking with a team member at The Studio Med Spa can help you learn more about how microneedling works to provide even-toned skin that is also free of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Should I Try Microneedling Out? 

Many people are weary of microneedling because of the ‘injuries’. However, it is important to remember that these injuries are addressed by the skin itself in the production of new collagen-rich tissue. Collagen production within the skin may come to a grinding halt due to age and other factors, so this is why skin eventually begins to lose its suppleness and volume, leading to more sagging skin that may prominently show acne scars and other issues. If you are dealing with sun spots, uneven skin tone, large pores, acne scarring, and fine lines and wrinkles, you should definitely look into the microneedling procedure!
