5 Ways Microneedling Improves the Quality of Your Skin

Soft, supple, healthy skin isn’t a given. It takes work to keep your skin looking its best, especially as you get older. At Resplendent Day Spa in Long Beach, California, we offer a number of skin care treatments to help restore your skin’s youthful appearance. Among these is microneedling.

Our team explores 5 ways microneedling improves skin quality here:

1. Tightens and Tones Your Skin

Microneedling helps tighten your skin, giving it a firmer, toned appearance. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, breaks down scar tissue, and eliminates rough skin patches. Using ultra-thin needles, we’ll prick the top layer of your skin to stimulate the production of proteins used in healing. These proteins work to improve your skin’s texture, making it appear smooth, firm, and youthful again. Microneedling can be used on your face, neck, back, arms, or legs to erase signs of aging or skin damage.

2. Boosts Blood Flow

By creating microscopic injuries in your skin, microneedling triggers your body’s natural healing process, increasing blood flow to the injured areas. As extra blood flows to aid healing, it brings oxygen and nutrients that improve your skin’s texture and elasticity, giving it a more supple, youthful appearance. Microneedling causes a temporary reddening of the skin, which typically disappears within a few days of your treatment. Over the next two to four weeks, there will be a noticeable improvement in your skin’s tone, texture, and color, with optimal results occurring within 3 to 6 months.

3. Minimizes Large Skin Pores

Microneedling stimulates collagen production to keep your skin hydrated, smooth, and firm. In the process, it minimizes the appearance of large pores on your skin. As new collagen builds and plumps your skin, it tightens the tissue around the pores, making them appear much smaller and less noticeable. Microneedling also promotes tissue repair and regeneration to eliminate or reduce the visibility of scars and “pits” caused by acne, chickenpox, and/or facial surgery.

4. Protection from UV damage

As an added bonus, the increase in collagen production that comes from microneedling therapy boosts your skin’s resistance to UV damage. This not only keeps your skin looking youthful and healthy but also prevents the growth of precancerous cells that could later develop into skin cancer.

5. Better Absorption of Skincare Products

Microneedling creates small channels in your skin that allow for better absorption of skin lotions and creams. This enables you to build on the positive results of your microneedling treatment. We can recommend quality skincare products you can use after your treatment to keep your skin nourished and in good condition long-term. The right skincare products can enhance the results of microneedling, giving you a younger, healthier-looking appearance for years.
