Los Angeles - stimulate collagen production to improve skin texture and tone

Microneedling is a form of derma-rolling that has been re-engineered and improved on by dermatologists and other licensed physicians. It is a safe, non-invasive procedure that naturally stimulates collagen production and allows the body to repair deep skin damage while instantly increasing hydration levels, reducing inflammation and stimulating the healing process.

Microneedling is a safe, natural and effective tool for skin rejuvenation. It stimulates new collagen production in the skin and helps promote healing of acne scars, stretch marks and other scarring. Microneedling also presents an opportunity to improve your skin’s appearance from the inside out – promoting overall health, hydration and nourishment at the cellular level.

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling is a safe, effective treatment that uses medical-grade needles to transform the surface of the skin. Also known as percutaneous collagen induction therapy (PCIT), it is anon-invasive procedure that utilizes tiny needles to induce controlled damage to the skin.The procedure creates tiny puncture wounds that stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, thereby improving fine lines, wrinkles, scars and stretch marks. Microneedling can also improve hyperpigmentation by stimulating the growth of new melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) and prompting these cells to produce more melanin.

Microneedling also works by creating microscopic channels in the skin which when penetrated, allows easier absorption of active ingredients into these channels. This allows for better nutrient absorption, faster healing and improved skin quality.

What can micro needling treat?

Because microneedling is so easy to learn and gives great results, this treatment is everywhere. Anywhere you see a skin rejuvenation procedure advertised, there will be microneedling involved. This is because it works well for a range of skin concerns and skin types. Amounts of collagen will depend on your individual needs and goals, but can be raised 3x from pre-treatment values using this technology. Amino acids are also released during deep dermal wounding and contribute to anti-aging benefits. Microneedling can treat everything from acne to hyperpigmentation or fine lines and wrinkles.
