What is Microneedling treatment?
Microneedling in Southfield MI, also known as skin needling therapy, is a skin rejuvenation procedure that requires minimal invasion by using a device which has fine needles. The needle is used for puncturing the skin and for creating a controlled skin injury. Every puncture makes up a channel where the body will be triggered to fill in such microscopic wounds through producing elastic and collagen.This is a process of neocollagenesis and neovascularization which causes improvement in skin firmness and texture with reduction in stretch marks, pore size, and scars.
The devices vary in length and diameter of microneedles and they range starting from 0.5 to 3.0 mm. The devices are found in two different types, cord and battery powered systems. Every design comes with many advantages while personal preference can determine the selection of the operator. Some are also beveled and flat edged tips. The current devices are manual and mechanical models which have shorter lengths that have been designed for use at home; while stamps and rollers that have long needles are designed for professionals.
Microneedling has been proven as a fast and simple method used to treat scars and wrinkles. Since the epidermis will not be affected, this procedure may be repeated in a safe manner and it is suited for regions where deep peels and laser treatment are performed. The treatment is now being used for photoaged skin in order to improve quality and appearance of the skin while preventing or improving scarring.
Microneedling is performed in an office setting and it will not require costly equipment or extensive training. It can be done on areas where laser resurfacing or peeling is not suitable like chest, hands and mouth. It is a procedure that can be tolerated easily by patients who want minimal downtime and it can be personalized easily by going deeper in areas where there is too much skin damage requiring aggressive treatment.
