Your body’s ability to heal itself is fascinating and mesmerizing. No procedure or treatment or surgery is quite as efficient or effective as your own cells and DNA. When you’re injured, your body acts fast to stimulate fibroblasts which increase collagen and elastin production to repair your wounds.
For many, the idea of creating new collagen and elastin sounds wonderful. Many of us have marks, spots, or wrinkles that we’d like to get rid of. However, our bodies won’t begin making new skin just because we want it to. They need directions—and this is where microneedling comes into play.
Microneedling uses small, sterilized needles to purposefully puncture the skin, alerting the body that healing needs to take place. Oftentimes, people will have microneedling done to assist in removing or limiting the effects of acne, large pores, reduced skin elasticity, scars, stretch marks, sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles.
As previously mentioned, the intentional creation of controlled wounds triggers your body’s natural response system to manufacture fresh collagen and elastin, the proteins crucial in making and maintaining soft, and supple skin.
At Form Spa, we recommend applying numbing cream at least 30 minutes prior to your appointment to avoid pain.
Those who have a microneedling treatment done should plan on receiving multiple treatments approximately every 4-6 weeks for best results.
