What Is Microneedling?
When home skin products aren't giving you the results you've been expecting and you don't want to meet your skin care goals with surgical procedures, Skintention offers nonsurgical treatments to rejuvenate your skin. Skintention Founder and aesthetician Alma Macias specializes in microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) and nano needling at her practice in Plano, TX. Microneedling uses multiple fine-gauge needles to safely and effectively make micro-injuries in the needed areas of the skin. The micro-injuries prompt the body's natural production of collagen and elastin, two nutrients that contribute to the overall health and appearance of your skin. Nano needling uses a device equipped with tiny silicon or stainless steel pyramid-like pins that focus on the epidermis or the outermost layer of the skin and do not damage the skin. With a diameter smaller than a strand of hair, the nano needling pins promote exfoliation and provide deep penetration of products and serums into the skin. Microneedling and nano needling can help reduce stretch marks, scars, and pores. Make an appointment for a consultation at Skintention to learn more about the benefits of these skin rejuvenation treatments and ways to customize the procedure for your needs and goals.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling and nano needling are cutting-edge advancements in aesthetic care, offering effective solutions to a variety of skin concerns. While they share a common goal of revitalizing the skin, they employ distinct techniques tailored to meet different needs and preferences to achieve a youthful and radiant complexion.
Microneedling
Collagen induction therapy with microneedling is performed in one of our office procedure rooms for about 30 – 60 minutes with numbing cream or local anesthesia if desired, but most patients experience little or no pain and discomfort. The areas of skin being treated will be cleansed before the microneedling handpiece is evenly passed over. Once the microneedling is performed, a topical treatment, like a vitamin-infused serum, may be applied so the nutrients can penetrate deeper into the skin. A moisturizer will be massaged in along with UV protection because the treated skin will be more sensitive after the treatment.
Nano Needling
Unlike microneedling, which penetrates the skin to trigger collagen production and cause slight injury to initiate healing, the tiny needles create micro-channels in the epidermis. The primary purpose of this treatment is to enhance the absorption of serums and skin care products, which penetrate deeper into the skin than they would through normal application. Nano needling improves hydration, increases collagen production on a superficial level, and aids in improving skin texture and tone. The process is noninvasive, does not cause pain, and generally doesn't require any downtime.
