Microneedling is a procedure that you may have heard called collagen induction therapy. It stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin which can help heal skin damage and reduce the appearance of aging.
A cosmetic procedure, microneedling is the process of making very small punctures in the top layer of the skin. This triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin in order to patch up those tiny injuries. In doing so, it also firms and smooths the skin and reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
The procedure is most often used on the face, but it is effective on other parts of the body as well including neck, hands, thighs, back and stomach. It generally takes 4-6 treatments to gain the most benefit.
In addition to wrinkle reduction, microneedling effectively treats:
- Acne
- Sun Damage
- Scarring
- Dark Spots or Hyperpigmentation
- Crow’s Feet
- Stretch Marks
- Large pores
When performed by a dermatologist or aesthetician, microneedling is safe and requires no downtime. At Willow Health and Aesthetics, we custom tailor your treatment to reach your specific goals.
