• Microneedling

  Microneedling with and without Exosome Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures (micro-injuries) in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing processes, leading to a range of benefits for the skin. Here are some key benefits of microneedling: ‍ 1. **Collagen Production:** Microneedling triggers the skin's natural collagen and elastin production. Collagen is a protein that provides structure to the skin, making it look plump and youthful. Increased collagen production can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 2. **Improved Skin Texture:** The micro-injuries created during microneedling promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This can lead to smoother and softer skin, improved texture, and a reduction in the visibility of scars and stretch marks. 3. **Reduced Pore Size:** Microneedling can help reduce the size of enlarged pores by promoting tighter skin. Smaller pores can give the skin a more refined and youthful appearance. 4. **Enhanced Absorption of Topical Products:** The tiny channels created by microneedling allow for better absorption of topical serums and creams. This means that the skincare products you apply after a microneedling session can penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective. 5. **Treatment of Hyperpigmentation:** Microneedling can be effective in reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, including sunspots, age spots, and melasma. By promoting skin turnover and the shedding of damaged skin cells, it can lead to a more even skin tone. 6. **Reduction of Acne Scars:** Microneedling is often used to improve the appearance of acne scars. The procedure can help break down scar tissue and stimulate the production of collagen, which can result in smoother skin with less noticeable scarring. 7. **Minimal Downtime:** Microneedling is considered a relatively low-downtime procedure. While there may be some redness and mild swelling immediately after treatment, most people can resume their regular activities within a day or two. 8. **Versatility:** Microneedling can be performed on various areas of the body, not just the face. It is commonly used on the neck, chest, hands, and other body parts to address various skin concerns. 9. **Safe for Various Skin Types:** Microneedling is generally safe for different skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for many individuals. It's important to note that the results of microneedling may vary from person to person, and multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal results. To ensure the best outcome and minimize the risk of complications, it's essential to have microneedling performed by a qualified and experienced skincare professional. Will it Hurt? You will be numbed with numbing cream and will not feel the procedure at all. You will be able to return to normal activity within 24 hours.
