When you’re ready to fight the effects of time, restore tighter skin, and achieve a more youthful appearance by softening wrinkles, microneedling may be the treatment you need. Peter Newen, MD, at The Image Center offers microneedling to safely and effectively rejuvenate your appearance by strengthening your skin. To learn whether microneedling, can solve your cosmetic concerns, call the office in Huntington Beach, California, Irvine, San Clemente, and Downey, California or book an appointment online.
Microneedling uses very fine needles called microneedles to precisely puncture your skin. These tiny micro punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing process, which then triggers collagen production.
The skin’s production of collagen declines over the years, causing loose skin and wrinkles. Following microneedling, your new collagen-rich skin is stronger and more resilient. As a result, wrinkles are smoothed away and you look younger.
Microneedling is effective on its own, as it restores your skin’s strength and tone. The addition accelerates healing and enhances your overall results.
Microneedling alone fights the sign of aging by:
Microneedling is safe for all skin types and can be used on your face as well as other areas of your body.
After microneedling, you may experience mild swelling and redness. Some patients develop a little bruising. These side effects shouldn’t last long, but Dr. Newen provides more details about what to expect while you heal.
It takes time for your body to produce collagen and elastin and for new skin cells to come to the surface. As a result, you’ll gradually see smoother, tighter skin over a few weeks.
If you want to restore more youthful skin without undergoing surgery, microneedling at The Image Center may be the treatment you need. Call the office or schedule an appointment online for a skin evaluation and to discuss microneedling.
