Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, and ultimately improving the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance.
When combined with growth factor and peptide serums, microneedling becomes an even more powerful treatment. Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that play a crucial role in cell repair and regeneration. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can provide various skin benefits, such as boosting collagen synthesis and improving the skin’s barrier function.
During the microneedling procedure, the skin is prepped and numbed to ensure comfort. The microneedling device is then passed over the treatment area, creating tiny channels in the skin. These channels allow the growth factor and peptide serums to penetrate more deeply and effectively into the skin’s layers.
After microneedling, the growth factor and peptide serums are applied to the treated area. The micro-channels created by the needles enhance the absorption and delivery of these serums, maximizing their benefits. The growth factors stimulate cell turnover and repair, while the peptides contribute to collagen production and overall skin rejuvenation.
