The Benefits of Skin Needling

Collagen Induction Therapy is often a procedure that involves a trip to the doctors (or a specialist). However, microneedling of the skin is a variety of collagen induction therapy which can be carried out in your own house, in your own time; this smoothes out wrinkles, improves scarring and reduces stretchmarks.

A common factor in the development of scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and uneven skin is a lack of collagen. Micro needling encourages collagen production in the skin, which minimises and even removes their appearance.

Skin needling (micro-needling) is a procedure carried out with a roller that is covered with numerous tiny needles. These needles break the topmost layer of skin and carefully part the pores of the skin. This process has 2 critical bonuses; it actively activates collagen generation at the same time as providing a clear channel for creams applied to the skin to be absorbed more easily through the outside layer (epidermis) of skin. Micro-needling (skin needling) creates a very tiny trauma which lasts for about one hour and does not result in bruising or swelling or bleeding in the treated area in the way that laser therapy or microdermabrasion do.

The microscopic punctures (which are often just the opening of the pores of your skin) caused by the skin micro-needling, stimulate collagen production in the dermis layer (the second layer of skin) and it creates an appropriate environment for collagen and elastin formation. These key factors help the skin to cosmetically mend.

There are several alternatives to Micro-Needling, most of which require visits to clinical beauticians or other specialists. These include laser therapy and Micro-Dermabrasion. Using a skin roller at home is generally much cheaper.
