Information Relating To Micro Needling Albuquerque Should Understand

By Andrew Collins


Wrinkles and fine lines are a common manifestation of the ageing process. Although this is a normal natural process, it may, in some cases be severe or occur prematurely. In such circumstances, there is considerable discomfort on the part of the affected individual. One of the methods that have been devised to deal with this problem. There are several things on micro needling Albuquerque residents need to be aware of.

This procedure is also termed collagen induction therapy because it induces the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. The reason as to why this is important is because the main underlying condition is loose and broken down connective tissue fibers. Numerous fine needles are used to cause minute puncture wounds on the epidermal layer of the skin. Healing starts to take place within a few days to weeks.

There are two main ways in which the therapy can be done. One of them is where it is conducted in a private office by an aesthetician, plastic surgeon or dermatologist. The other option is to do it at home using a special piece of equipment known as a dermaroller. This equipment has numerous fine needles and can revolve on an axis as it makes puncture wounds on the skin.

The principle that is applied in this procedure is similar to that used for laser based therapies. The main difference is that the micro injuries of needling are mechanical as opposed to those that are produced by laser beams which mainly come about due to heat and light. Advantages of micro needling include ability to be used in all parts of the body and at any time (including pregnancy and breastfeeding) and the shorter recovery time.

There is inter-individual variability with regard to the results. Whereas the majority of people experience significant improvement with a few sessions, others require many more sessions spread over weeks or months. Your dermatologist will advise on the total number of sessions needed after clinically evaluating your condition.

Studies show that micro needling increases the absorption of many topical skin products leading to better results than when the products are used on their own. Ordinarily, only 4 to 8 per cent of topical products are absorbed through the skin. The procedure creates ports of entry for therapeutic products to enter the skin which enables the individual to realize the full benefits. This has been proven through a number of studies.

The procedure has also been tried for the management of acne scars. The recommended length of needles in this case is 1.5 mm. Although this can be done at home, some cases of severe scars require the assistance of a dermatologist since a longer length of needles will be needed. The general advice is that one should ensure they first see a specialist for the first one or two sessions before remaining on their own.

Micro needling has become one of the main therapies for ageing. It has also been shown to have other benefits to the skin. Such include management of sun damaged skin, treatment of hyperpigmentation and the shrinkage of skin pores. Although it was initially designed to be used on the face, its use has expanded to include other exposed body areas such as the chest, legs and the back among others.
