Skin treatments
Often the things that bring us most joy and happiness in life are simple. Micro Needling, known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is no exception.
Micro Needling is one of the most advanced treatments at the forefront of skin repair. The areas of improvement that we treat with the Pen are large and varied.
It gets even better as the process by which it improves the skin texture and appearance is not temporary like for fillers and botox. It is a permanent result. The treatment process creates your own natural collagen and stimulates the production that gets lost with age. Therefore, you will get a natural look, so no stiff or fake looking face! Also, it is completely natural and safe.
How the skin repairs itself
Firstly, the answer to that question is by producing collagen!
Skin repair uses a complex process that occurs in several, overlapping phases.
The layers of normal skin form a protective barrier against the external environment. Once the skin is broken, the process of repair is set in motion and consists of three phases.
They are inflammatory, proliferation and maturation.
Phase 1 – inflammatory Phase (0-3 days after injury)
Within minutes of the wound occurring the inflammatory phase is active. The body starts protective measures to clot the wound and form a plug. Consequently the clot starts to get hard and dry out and a scab is formed. The scab protects the wound giving the skin underneath a chance to repair as it moves into proliferation phase.
Phase 2 – Proliferation Phase (1-24 days after injury)
This phase begins with skin cells working to lay down a foundation for wound repair. Basically, collagen is deposited to strengthen the wound and new cells migrate across the foundation tissue to close it. In this phase the wound contracts and reduces in size. A large wound can become 40% to 80% smaller after contraction.
Phase 3 – Maturation Phase(14-365 days after injury)
Maturation is the final phase when your body forms the scar tissue. A stronger type of collagen replaces the initial collagen.
Skin Micro Needling is a Mechanical, non-ablative treatment. Growth factors released through skin micro needling result in corrective and regenerative healing.
