Aging is an inevitable process that happens to everyone. As we age, our skin becomes thin and less elastic, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging.
While there is no way to completely stop the aging process, there are ways to slow it down. One of these methods is microneedling.
Microneedling helps your skin look younger by causing it to produce more collagen. Collagen is a protein that helps keep your skin looking elastic and smooth. Fine lines and wrinkles are often the results of a decrease in collagen production.
Microneedling treatment helps with overall skin rejuvenation in treating facial wrinkles and acne scars. Winter Wellness offers you the opportunity to improve the appearance of your skin and be more confident about yourself.
Microneedling treatment is a process that uses a device with very fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body to produce more collagen and elastin. The result is a younger, firmer skin texture.
For years, microneedling has been used in medical and cosmetic procedures. It was originally used to help heal scars until health and aesthetic professionals saw its anti-aging effects.
In fact, research published in the Indian Dermatology Online Journal concluded that with the use of microneedling devices, people can overcome the side effects of scarring and hyperpigmentation caused by other procedures that may have compromised the epidermis.
The procedure is commonly used on the face, but it can also be used on the neck, chest, and hands. This is to treat facial acne scars, large pores, wrinkles, stretch marks, skin laxity, and sun damage, and help achieve brighter skin.
Unlike laser treatments, microneedling is safe and noninvasive. It also doesn’t cause the same level of skin irritation. This makes it a good option for people with sensitive skin.

Collagen is an essential protein that contributes to your skin’s health and elasticity. Collagen growth promotes cell turnover, the process of transforming old and dead skin cells into new, healthy ones.
As you age, your skin tends to produce less collagen, which is why you start to see wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging.
Also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), microneedling procedure uses fine and short needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process and improves the production of collagen.
The tiny punctures also help the absorption of topical applications, including skincare products, better than many other forms of treatment.
Additionally, microneedling helps you get benefits from platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP is a treatment that uses your own blood platelets to help with your body’s self-healing process.
Skin tightening and pore reduction are the initial results that can be seen immediately after your microneedling session. You will see the full anti-aging effects in approximately four to six weeks.
While microneedling can accelerate collagen production and cell turnover, it still takes some time before your body makes new, healthy collagen. For most people, the average turnover period of dead skin cells and healing takes between 3 to 4 weeks.
