Are you tired of battling skin flaws that seem to have taken over your confidence? At Wellington Rejuvenation Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, Kelly DiStefano, MD, Wendy Champey, MD, and Ed Champey, MD, understand the frustration that comes with skin imperfections. That’s why we’re here to tell you about microneedling, which could be the solution you’ve been searching for.
Here’s what you need to know about microneedling and how it affects your skin.
How does microneedling help skin issues?
Before you get started with your microneedling session, your Wellington Rejuvenation Center provider may take a sample of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge to create platelet-rich plasma (PRP) 一 a powerful healing component.
To ensure your comfort, our team cleans and numbs the treatment area to ensure minimal discomfort during the process. We employ a state-of-the-art handheld device that emits radiofrequency energy and uses tiny needles to create controlled microtears in your skin. This controlled injury stimulates your skin’s natural healing process and encourages collagen production and cell regeneration.
Together, the PRP, the radiofrequency energy, and the microtears all work to improve a variety of skin flaws such as:
Acne
Acne scars can leave lasting marks on your skin, but microneedling can help. This procedure encourages collagen production, which can significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars, leaving you with smoother, more even-toned skin.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, microneedling can also help improve the appearance of other types of scars, including surgical scars and scars from injuries.
Wrinkles
Aging is inevitable, but you can combat wrinkles and fine lines with microneedling. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, this treatment can help restore your skin’s youthful elasticity and reduce the signs of aging.
Uneven texture
If you struggle with uneven skin texture, microneedling can help create a smoother surface. It works by breaking down uneven areas and stimulating the growth of fresh, healthy skin cells.
Stretch marks
Whether from pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or growth spurts, stretch marks can be a source of self-consciousness. Microneedling can fade the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration.
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation issues like melasma or sunspots can be frustrating to manage. Microneedling helps by increasing cell turnover and fading areas of excess pigmentation. This results in a more even pigmentation.
Enlarged pores
Everyone has pores, and that’s a good thing! Pores are connected to either oil or sweat glands. Oil glands allow sebum (your natural oil) to lubricate your skin. It keeps your skin supple and healthy. Problems arise when your oil pores become clogged. If they become clogged with dirt or debris, they can appear enlarged and black.
No one likes large pores! They can make your skin look rough and aged. Microneedling can reduce the size of pores by stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin texture.
What can you expect during a microneedling session at Wellington Rejuvenation Center?
Depending on the size of the areas being treated, a session typically lasts around 30 minutes. In some cases, we may also apply PRP or specialized healing serums to enhance the rejuvenating effects of the treatment. While there may be some redness, swelling, or tenderness immediately following the procedure, these effects typically subside in the days that follow.
As your skin or scalp heals over the next few weeks, you’ll begin to notice tighter, smoother, and revitalized skin.
