When there is a perceived injury to the skin, collagen is produced to repair the wound. Whether it is a tiny prick of a needle or a cut, your skin is ready to create new tissue when the skin is penetrated. One of the ways to increase collagen in the skin to achieve firmer, more youthful skin is with microneedling treatments. At LL Aesthetics, we offer skin rejuvenation with microneedles at our facility in Miami Beach, FL.
As early as your twenties, you begin producing less collagen and other elements that keep your skin supple, firm and soft. Collagen is a protein that is in hair, skin, nails and other bodily tissues – it makes up about 80% of the skin structure. As you lose collagen and make less year after year, your skin becomes thinner and less resilient. Lines and wrinkles appear and more blemishes like age spots begin forming. While you cannot stop the aging process, there are ways to increase your collagen production to create more youthful skin.
Microneedling has been used for many years to stimulate collagen production. These tiny needles penetrate the skin but do not cause any significant damage. However, the penetration still triggers a release of collagen that can repair the skin and improve its appearance.
Advanced Options in Microneedling
Microneedling treatments can be beneficial on their own but the results are more amazing when combined with other treatments. There are many different types of skin rejuvenation treatments that use microneedles with options like PRP, RF energy and other infusions. At LL Aesthetics, we offer a few different microneedling procedures including:
If you have noticed lines, wrinkles, scarring or pigmentation changes in your skin, rejuvenation with microneedles may be the solution. These procedures can be completed in less than an hour, and there is minimal downtime after the treatment. In a few weeks, you will begin to see the difference as your skin repairs itself with the release of growth factors, elastin and collagen from the treatment.
