A Quick Look at Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that rarely produces complications or serious discomfort. The treatment harnesses the body’s natural healing properties, so there’s no need to rely on medications. That’s not to say that medication is bad; certainly, it has its place in treatment. However, the body has incredible healing powers, but it often needs a bit of focus and stimulation to optimize results.
Microneedling causes small injuries on and beneath the top layer of skin. This might seem counterintuitive. Why would you want to injure your skin? First, the injuries are tiny, often pretty much unnoticeable. Second, the injuries focus and stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
The body responds to injuries in various ways, including ramping up the production of collagen and elastin and encouraging the formation of capillaries. All of this can pave the way for healthier, more attractive skin. If you want to try micro needling and live in or near Grapevine, TX, Ms. St. Aubin and Ms. Dodge at Serenity Aesthetics can help.
Using a SkinPen
Like other medical treatments, micro needling continues to advance, and the tools practitioners now have access to are better than the tools they had access to in the past. One popular tool is a SkinPen. This device was actually the first micro needling device cleared by the FDA.
The SkinPen offers very precise needling and generally doesn’t produce much pain or discomfort. This makes it a favorite among practitioners and patients alike. It also produces good results rather quickly.
Microneedling typically takes an hour or less per treatment session. Often, you won’t need to “recover” from treatment and can go about your day as normal afterward. This is especially true if you opt for the best equipment, like the SkinPen.
