What Is Microneedling? Treatment at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic?
In addition to life experiences, the passage of time often leaves us with unwanted fine lines, wrinkles, and even indelible scars. Recently, Microneedling has emerged as one of the most sought-after methods in the fields of anti-aging and medical aesthetics. By stimulating the regeneration of skin cells, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, and accelerating the skin's metabolism, Microneedling improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, pitted scars, rough skin texture, and enlarged pores – common signs of aging.
The Dermapen™, the Microneedling device we employ, is an industry-recognized instrument known for its precision. With its ultra-fine needles and patented adjustable depth control, it creates countless tiny micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural repair mechanism, stimulating the production of collagen and rejuvenating the skin, resulting in a healthier and smoother complexion.
How does Microneedling work?
Microneedling is based on a well-established skin therapy known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). Developed by a German dermatologist in 1905, CIT employs multiple rows of extremely fine needles to mechanically puncture the skin evenly. This process causes minor injuries to the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin, kickstarting the skin's self-repair mechanism and inducing a collagen-activating effect in skin tissues. This leads to an increase in collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin elasticity. Additionally, these micro-needles create numerous micro-channels within the epidermis and mesoderm layers, allowing the direct delivery of nutrients into the skin and promoting better nutrient absorption, thus speeding up skin repair and addressing various skin concerns. By boosting collagen production and promoting skin metabolism, Microneedling offers comprehensive solutions to a range of skin issues, rejuvenating the skin to a healthy and youthful state.
