5 Reasons to Consider Microneedling
Aging is not for the timid. The relentless passage of time eventually catches up with everyone, taking its toll on skin tone, texture, hydration, and elasticity.
You might even suffer from sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and minor scarring. The combination of these effects adds up to a facial appearance that’s dull and uneven, loaded with fine lines and wrinkles.
At Bayview General Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we often recommend microneedling as an effective way to counteract the effects of aging. Potenza™ RF microneedling adds a unique boost by incorporating radiofrequency energy to enhance the collagen induction properties of your treatment, effectively tightening and toning your skin.
Today, we’ll examine five reasons to consider microneedling as a way to turn back time and reduce the effects of aging. Call us when you want to make a difference with your appearance.
1. Boosts the production of collagen
Your body retains the ability to manufacture collagen throughout your life. The most abundant protein in the body, collagen, starts to decline in natural regeneration as you approach your 30s.
It will, however, respond to injury. A common way to refresh your skin is through a treatment that introduces a controlled injury that jumpstarts the regrowth of the collagen matrix in the dermis, the support layer of your skin, underneath the epidermis.
Potenza RF uses radiofrequency energy to warm the dermis-layer collagen to trigger a tissue turnover. This is in addition to the collagen stimulation provided by the microneedling wand. It’s two collagen boosters in a single treatment.
2. Fine line and wrinkle reduction
As collagen production ramps up, your skin tightens with the additional volume. This stretches the epidermis, tightening the skin’s surface, your calling card to the world. New collagen attracts moisture, and your skin becomes more elastic.
3. Reverses hyperpigmentation
Ultraviolet light from the sun causes a range of damage to your skin. Photoaging causes lines and wrinkles, and it also causes clumps of skin pigment to form, interrupting the smooth tone that’s a feature of young skin. Collagen turnover reduces the appearance of uneven skin coloration.
4. Scar reduction
Acne scars also respond to microneedling. The collagen induction process essentially backfills acne pitting and other types of scarring. Deep scars could require multiple treatments, but most patients note improvement from their first session.
5. Improved texture
Refreshed collagen aids overall skin health by providing hydration and volume support, which can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, a common issue as people age. The overall effect is smoother, more even skin.
One of the big advantages of Potenza RF microneedling is its reduced downtime when compared to other collagen induction treatments like chemical peels or laser resurfacing.
