How Microneedling Boosts Collagen and Reverses Signs of Ageing

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a skincare treatment designed to rejuvenate your skin naturally. This treatment is known for boosting collagen production and reversing signs of ageing.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling involves using a device with fine, sterile needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin.

How Microneedling Boosts Collagen Production

Collagen is what keeps your skin plump, smooth, and resilient. Unfortunately, as we age, collagen production declines which leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. Microneedling helps to reverse this process by stimulating the body to produce more collagen through the micro-injuries created during the treatment. The skin’s healing process encourages the regeneration of healthy, new skin cells which improves the texture and tone of your skin.

With consistent treatments, the increase in collagen leads to firmer, smoother skin and helps reduce visible signs of ageing. Microneedling is most effective for targeting deeper wrinkles, sagging skin, and skin that has lost its youthful plumpness.

Reversing Signs of Ageing

Microneedling doesn’t just boost collagen, it also addresses other common signs of ageing such as:

Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two key proteins responsible for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity. Over time, these proteins diminish due to ageing and external factors like sun exposure. The controlled micro-injuries created by the microneedling device trigger your skin’s natural repair process, which includes laying down fresh collagen. This thickens the skin, smooths out fine lines, and softens the appearance of deeper wrinkles.

Fades Hyperpigmentation: Hyperpigmentation is characterised by dark spots caused by sun damage, hormonal changes, or ageing. This can make skin look uneven or dull. Microneedling promotes the shedding of old, damaged skin cells and stimulates the production of new ones. This process allows hyperpigmented areas to become less noticeable, leading to a brighter, more even skin tone.

Minimise Scars, Including Acne Scars: Scars can linger for years and disrupt the smooth texture of your skin. Microneedling’s ability to break down old scar tissue and stimulate new collagen makes it an excellent treatment for improving scarred areas.

Enhances Absorption of Skincare Products: After a microneedling session, your skin can absorb nutrients and active ingredients from skincare products. The tiny channels created during the treatment allow serums and creams to penetrate deeper into the skin.

Improves Overall Skin Quality: Microneedling works to improve overall skin health. The combination of increased collagen production, improved circulation, and enhanced cell turnover results in a radiant, glowing complexion that looks and feels rejuvenated.
