The Benefits of Skin Needling

April 1st, 2009

Collagen Induction Therapy is a method which often involves a trip to the doctors. However, skin needling is a variety of collagen induction therapy which can be conducted in your own home by yourself, in your own time; this reduces wrinkles, improves acne scarring and reduces the appearance of stretch marks.

A common factor in the formation of scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and uneven skin is a lack of collagen. Micro needling stimulates collagen production in the skin, which minimises and even removes their appearance.

Skin needling is a procedure carried out using a skin roller that is covered with lots of tiny needles. These needles perforate the outside layer of skin and tenderly part the pores of the skin. This process has 2 critical bonuses; it effectively encourages collagen generation at the same time as providing a clear channel for creams applied to the skin to be absorbed more effectively through the top layer (epidermis) of skin. Skin micro needling creates a very tiny trauma which lasts for a short period of time 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 micro needling, stimulate 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 heal.

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 roller at home is generally much cheaper.
