How does Microneedling reduce signs of aging?
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves puncturing the skin with fine needles to create microinjuries. The theory behind microneedling is that the microinjuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing processes, which can lead to the production of new collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are proteins that help to keep the skin firm and elastic, and their production tends to decline with age, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling may help to improve the appearance of aging skin.
In addition to stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling may also help to improve the appearance of aging skin by:
Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: The microinjuries created by microneedling may help to smooth out the surface of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Improving skin texture: Microneedling may help to improve the texture of the skin by smoothing out rough patches and reducing the appearance of scars and blemishes.
Increasing the penetration of skincare products: The microinjuries created by microneedling may help to increase the penetration of skincare products into the skin, allowing them to be more effective.
It's important to note that the effects of microneedling on aging skin may vary from person to person.
At Retreatment Wellness, in addition to improving the quality of your skin with Microneedling, Dr. Alessandra Young, DAEAM signature treatment includes Acupuncture to de-stress, Sound Bath Meditation to feel peaceful, and LED Light Therapy to improve all of the results:
Acupuncture helps you feel balanced and at ease. Acupuncture causes a cascade of feel-good neurotransmitters resulting in a better mood. It also reduces inflammation - a key cause of disease and aging. .
Sound Bath Meditation creates binaural beats that entrain the brain into deeper meditative states. It assists your body in shifting from the “fight or flight” system (sympathetic nervous system) and into the “rest and restore” system (parasympathetic system). In this state of grace and ease your body is able to heal itself.
LED Light Therapy enhances cellular metabolism, accelerating the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells, as well as stimulating the production of collagen — the foundation of healthy, smooth skin. Research has shown that LED light therapy may help smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase lymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial hyperpigmentation. The treatment is for all skin types, and requires absolutely no downtime. Patients can return to their normal activity immediately after the treatment.
Based on extensive research, low-level-light therapy devices have been cleared by the FDA, and shown to manage:
Mild to moderate acne vulgaris
Superficial, benign vascular and pigment lesions
Periorbital wrinkles and rhytides
Sub-optimal local blood flow and circulation
