Microneedling

*This service is offered at Humanity Wellness ONLY*

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cutting-edge skincare treatment that has gained immense popularity in recent years. This minimally invasive procedure harnesses the body's natural healing mechanisms to rejuvenate the skin, leading to a radiant and youthful complexion.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a facial or body procedure that involves the use of a specialized device with fine, tiny needles. These needles create thousands of microscopic punctures, or "micro-injuries," in the skin's surface. These controlled injuries stimulate the body's natural healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins responsible for maintaining the skin's strength and elasticity.

The skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. This ensures that the treatment is as comfortable as possible. The microneedling device is gently moved across the targeted area(s) of the skin. The tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen and elastin production. After the procedure, your skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days. It's essential to follow the post-treatment instructions which will be provided after your treatment.

Benefits of Microneedling:

1. Improved Skin Texture: Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, leading to smoother and more even-textured skin.

2. Enhanced Collagen Production: The stimulation of collagen production helps the skin regain its firmness, elasticity, and youthful glow.

3. Minimized Pore Size: Microneedling can help reduce the size of enlarged pores, making your skin look more refined.

4. Reduction of Hyperpigmentation: Microneedling can help fade dark spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone, leading to a more even complexion.

5. Non-Invasive and Minimal Downtime: Microneedling is minimally invasive, and downtime is relatively short compared to more aggressive cosmetic procedures.
