Aging can take its natural toll on the body in many ways. From sagging skin to facial wrinkles, these characteristics aren’t something you just have to live with. Microneedling is one of the most popular anti-aging treatments in New Orleans that can help you achieve more youthful skin.
Microneedling in a Nutshell
Microneedling is a minimally invasive and FDA-approved treatment that uses hundreds of tiny needle sticks to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. This cosmetic treatment takes between 30 and 60 minutes to complete and is recommended for both men and women above 22 years old who are looking for effective and long-lasting skin rejuvenation.
Using our microneedling devices, SkinPen or Pixel8-Radiofrequency, hundreds of microscopic injuries are created. As your body naturally heals these injuries, improvements in the texture and quality of the skin will be unveiled.
The main advantage of microneedling is that it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. This procedure helps to provide more stimulation of collagen and addresses deeper skin problems.
How Exactly Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling uses your body’s natural healing process to solve skin imperfections like fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. This treatment uses hundreds of small needles to puncture the skin, triggering your immune system to naturally respond with its inflammation process. This helps to upregulate collagen and elastin, creating a more youthful appearance of the skin. Optimal results are seen within 3-5 treatment sessions. The inflammation process also increases blood flow to the treatment site, which stimulates proliferation.
Proliferation is characterized by producing new blood vessels and granulation cells at the treatment site to rebuild the skin. As the skin heals, new dermal tissue will develop in a more smooth, uniform pattern. This new skin reduces fine lines and wrinkles to restore your youthful look.
Microneedling can be used to treat virtually any skin on the body. It’s most commonly utilized to handle fine lines and wrinkles in the facial region. However, in our office this cosmetic procedure can also be used on the following areas and how they work on those parts:
- Neck: Tightens loose skin, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and improves texture in the neck area.
- Chest: Addresses sun damage, wrinkles, and crepey skin.
