Microneedling for anti-ageing and acne scarring
Many people are looking for anti-ageing treatments to help reduce the signs of time such as fine lines and wrinkles. Others are tackling acne scarring which can affect the way they feel about their skin. Here at the Skin Studio UK we recommend microneedling at our skin clinic Surrey. Microneedling Is a popular choice of skin treatment at our skin clinic Surrey and works to help reduce the signs of ageing and also to tackle issues such as acne scars. Microneedling is carried out under sterile conditions and it works using the impact of a needle on the skin and actually piercing the skin down to the level of the dermis to trigger a series of events which mimic the natural skin repair cycle. By causing microbleeds in the upper part of the dermis by needling the skin, this releases growth factors and helps promote the formation of collagen and so it is also known as collagen induction therapy. Collagen is a key component of the skin and plays a role in strengthening the skin as well as in elasticity and hydration. As we age our body produces less collagen which leads to the formation of wrinkles and microneedling works to boost collagen production and in doing so, reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
If you are suffering from acne scarring then you may know that this is a type of injury that leads to an indentation of the skin. By promoting the formation of collagen, microneedling helps lift up those indentations and reduces the appearance of the scars. Microneedling also improves the skin elasticity and it can have a firming effect on sagging skin. Many of our patients also report a significant improvement in the appearance of pores which helps improve the appearance of your skin further.
A sterile and effectual procedure for everyone
Microneedling is a safe procedure in terms of there being a low risk of infection and it is also efficacious for all skin tones, some of which can be troubled by complications like pigmentation. Microneedling is suitable for almost every skin type. It has very little downtime; for the first 48 hours your skin may appear slightly red or sunburnt, symptoms which will subside by themselves. It is a treatment that is easy to fit into your busy lifestyle, whilst other skin treatments can take a week or even two weeks to recover from. Overall, microneedling is a versatile, quick and convenient choice of skin treatment available here at our skin clinic Surrey, which is able to give great anti-ageing benefits and help you achieve a fresh and youthful appearance.
It is important that alongside microneedling you maintain a regular skincare regime, using a good sunscreen and skin essential ingredients such as vitamin A and vitamin C for optimal results.
