Micro-Needling: Uncover Radiant Skin

Micro-Needling Technology is one of the most popular treatments in the skincare world, and the results show that it is with good reason! It is a minimally invasive treatment that is used to target a variety of skin types and concerns as it improves texture, firmness, scarring, acne pigmentation, wrinkles & stretch marks.

So... What exactly is Micro-Needling? 

Collagen Stimulation Therapy also known as Micro-Needling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin that essentially promotes skin repair from the inside out. Tiny needles are used to make incredibly small holes in the top layer of the skin, as a response to this damage it stimulates your skin's healing process. 

The skin's natural healing process leads to an increased production of collagen and elastin, which are crucial for maintaining healthy, youthful skin. Let's take a further look into the role of collagen and elastin for our skin's  appearance.

Collagen is the skin's main structural protein, so it's role is to provide elasticity, strength and support It acts as a support system during the skin's healing process, preventing sagging and fine lines through generation of new skin cells.

Collagen doesn't work on it's own, it works alongside Elastin and hyaluronic acid to keep the skin smooth and supple. Elastin allows your skin to stretch and  is what gives skin that bouncy, full look and feel.

So you can see why Micro-Needling has gained massive popularity in the skincare world as it works with the components of our skin, creating a youthful and smooth appearance from the inside out.
