The Benefits of Skin Needling
Collagen Induction Therapy is a method which often involves a trip to the doctors. However, microneedling of the skin is a type of collagen induction therapy which can be done in your own house, in your own time; this smoothes out wrinkles, reduces scarring and reduces the appearance of stretch marks.
a common factor of scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and uneven skin is a lack of collagen. Using a skin Needling Roller (micro needling) encourages collagen production in the skin, which minimises and even removes their appearance.
Skin micro-needling is a process carried out with a roller that is covered with numerous tiny needles. These needles break the outside layer of skin and gently separate the pores of the skin. This method has 2 significant advantages; it effectively triggers collagen creation at the same time as allowing topical gels and creams to be absorbed more effectively through the upper layer (epidermis) of skin. Microneedling (skin needling) creates a very minor trauma which lasts for about an hour and doesn’t cause the skin any real harm such as 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, encourage collagen production in the second layer of skin and it creates a good environment for collagen and elastin formation. These key factors help the skin to cosmetically renew.
There are several alternatives to Microneedling, most of which require visits to clinical beauticians or other specialists. These include laser therapy and Micro-Dermabrasion. Using a skin needling roller at home is generally much cheaper.
