Thought About Microneedling? Maple Ridge Residents Can Consider Treatment at Dermaclear Laser Clinic!
May 12, 2025 Microneedling
In recent times, a popular skincare treatment has exploded in the beauty world. Promising to be not as evasive, show results, and even have an option to do yourself, microneedling has rocked the spa and skincare clinic industry with high demand for the service.
In essence, microneedling is what can be called collagen induction therapy. It works by using a rolling device- a type of derma roller that is equipped with tiny pricks and rolled across the skin in different directions to swiftly “puncture” the skin on the micro level, causing what can be described as micro-injuries. The pricks cause tiny and invisible holes in the top layer of the skin. This begins the process of skin rejuvenation without the need for any chemicals or further invasive treatments.
This counteracts the skin to trigger its natural healing process. As the skin becomes “injured”, red, and slightly irritated, it triggers elastin and collagen production, which activate and begin to help with the physical improvement of the skin. As the skin responds to heal, it starts to work to improve elasticity, skin texture, and firmness. In addition, it can also help with milder hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, and even acne scars. Additionally, it can also help treat large pores and uneven skin texture, making for smoother-looking skin. It works to bring blood flow to the area, thereby delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the area where the tiny punctures need healing.
For those concerned about aging skin, microneedling offers great benefits for anti-aging therapy as well. The increased collagen production helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin, making it an excellent treatment for anti-aging. In addition, microneedling helps to enhance the absorption of skincare products, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper and work more effectively. This means your skin looks great without any (or minimal) makeup, and your skin acts like a canvas to absorb skincare products, so your skin can be nourished more than just on the superficial level.
Microneedling is very safe when done correctly and with a skin care specialist. It is safe and versatile for all parts of the face, neck, and even hair to promote hair growth on the scalp. A typical session can be anywhere between 15-30 minutes and offers very little downtime with just mild redness or irritation for a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the skin type. Although the session treatment is not painful, some people may experience mild redness and swelling resembling a mild sunburn while their skin heals. We recommend multiple sessions spaced anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 weeks apart, depending on factors like your age, skin concerns, and condition complexity, to see results.
