The Benefits of Skin Needling
Collagen Induction Therapy is is a procedure which often involves a trip to a specialist. However, skin micro-needling is a form of collagen induction therapy which can be carried out in your own home by yourself, in your own time; this can smooth out wrinkles, reduces scarring and reduces the appearance of stretch marks.
A common factor in the formation of scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and uneven skin is a lack of collagen. Using a skin Needling Roller (micro needling) encourages collagen production in the skin, which helps to reduce and possible eliminate them.
Microneedling (skin needling) is a procedure carried out with a roller that is covered with numerous tiny needles. These needles perforate the upper layer of skin and tenderly part the pores of the skin. This process has two great benefits; it effectively encourages collagen generation at the same time as providing a clear channel for creams and lotions to be absorbed more easily through the topmost layer (epidermis) of skin. Micro needling (skin needling) creates a very small trauma which lasts for about an hour and does not result in bruising or swelling or bleeding in the treated area in the way that laser therapy or microdermabrasion do.
The microscopic punctures (which are often just the opening of the pores of your skin) caused by the micro-needling of the skin, encourage collagen production in the second layer of skin and it creates a good environment for collagen and elastin formation. These key factors help the skin to cosmetically renew.
There are several alternatives to microneedling, and a lot of these require visits to a specialist. These include laser therapy and Micro-Dermabrasion. Using a skin roller at home is generally much cheaper.
