MarFive benefits of microneedling to heal damaged skin from within

Collagen is abundant in youthful skin. Our bodies produce This skin-firming powerhouse naturally; however, around age 25, collagen production declines from 1% to 2% annually. When this happens, our skin loses its definition. Tissues appear to fall, resulting in hollows or sunken and saggy spots. The effects of collagen loss do not stop there. Luckily, Dr. Nicole Battaglioli has invested in Collagen Induction Therapy, better known as “microneedling,” to fight these and other common skin troubles, which is just one of at least five treatment pros at Kore MD Health and Wellness in Atlanta, Georgia.

Benefit No. 1: Effective treatment.

Many miracle creams and other products claim to soften wrinkles and tighten saggy skin; more do not reach deep into the skin where these problems originate. Microneedling rejuvenates the outermost skin from within. It involves using a special handheld device with dozens of sterile “micro-needles.” These needles are gently passed over the treatment site to create tiny perforations or micro-columns within the skin. The skin then responds by attempting to “heal itself.” During this process, more collagen is produced. The skin that grows back appears smoother, healthier, more radiant, and softer. 

Benefit No. 2: Helping products to work better.

Microneedling is often combined with other professional services, such as chemical peels and facials. The formulations used with these complementary procedures can better absorb into the skin due to the creation of tiny openings or channels deep within the tissues. This allows you to get the most out of your facial, peel, or other resurfacing service as appropriate. Our patients also appreciate that their makeup and other home topical products glide smoothly. By reducing pore size and stimulating other structural changes in the skin, you will likely find that cosmetics application is easier and more even and that the products you have invested in work better and “as intended.” 

Benefit No. 3: Safe for all skin types. 

Microneedling is an appropriate treatment for all sorts of patients. Unlike other categories of aesthetic services, patients with certain types and tones (such as more melanated skin) do not have to worry about undesirable complications or risks, such as persistent dark spots following treatment. The safety and predictability of microneedling is rooted in its relatively gentle approach. The service does not involve the application of heat or other aggressive or invasive techniques. 

Benefit No. 4: An appealing treatment experience. 

Microneedling is associated with minimal discomfort, side effects, downtime, and recovery. Most patients tolerate it well with just a numbing cream or local anesthetic. Side effects are usually limited to red inflammation at the treatment sites, which usually subsides in 24 to 48 hours.

Benefit No. 5: Immediate and sustained improvements.

Many of our patients notice a renewed “glow” immediately following treatment. Some also report a reduction in pore size within one to two days (s) following treatment. The results from treatments gradually improve with time as the collagen induction process is underway. Three or more treatment sessions may be required for more stubborn textural irregularities (such as scarring and severe wrinkling).
