Microneedling (Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy), which is also known as collagen stimulation therapy or PCI, is a type of mechanical stimulation method to repair skin structural damage, which leads to the regeneration of damaged and changed tissue.
The purpose of this treatment is to improve the appearance and function of the skin.
During the microneedling process, many very small holes are created in the skin using very small needles.
Inserting needles into the skin increases the release of growth factors from cells, blood platelets and improves the function of growth factors. This process leads to an increase in collagen production.
In this method, the penetration of the needle into the skin should be such that subtle bleeding inside the skin occurs.
In microneedling, the epidermis is pierced but not destroyed, so the skin surface is regenerated in a short period of time, and as a result, the recovery period after the treatment will be very short.
Microneedling is an ideal antiaging treatment because its benefits include improving the appearance of:
Scars and acne symptoms
Surgical scars
Burn scars
Stretch marks
Fine lines and wrinkles (expression and smile lines, frown lines, lip wrinkles, forehead wrinkles)
Wrinkles and bags under the eyes
Skin loosening/loss of elasticity
Hair loss and non-androgenic alopecia
Hyperpigmentation
Sun damage and melasma
overall skin texture and color (smooth skin and uniform skin color)
Loose skin (eg on neck, ears, chin)
cellulite
dull skin color (skin lightening)
Advantages of microneedling treatment:
Significant improvement in appearance and beauty within a few days of the first treatment due to the exfoliation effect
Minimum damage time
No damage or permanent injury
No bruising, infection, discoloration or other side effects
Very high absorption of ingredients
Almost all skin types can be treated
Without damaging the skin, it reduces the risk of skin blemishes
Can be used for different skin types
Fast closing of established channels and low risk
Short recovery period
Increase skin thickness and freshness
Increase of growth factors, collagen, elastin
Types of microneedling based on the depth of needle penetration
Surface microneedling (for initial rejuvenation and up to a depth of 0.5 mm)
Deep microneedling (for advanced rejuvenation, scars, stretch marks… from a depth of 0.5 to a maximum of 3 mm)
The improvement is obvious
According to scientific research, creating very small channels on the skin and subsequently introducing a medicinal substance into it is a new approach in the field of skin rejuvenation. Hyaluronic acid compensates for the natural lack of body water and collagen storage. The results of this method are not immediately visible, but after several sessions of microneedling, the improvement of the treated areas is clearly visible.
