One of the most effective growing treatment options for reducing wrinkles, stretch marks, scars as well as improving the skins tone, texture and color is micro-needling. And this treatment has little to no down time and very little discomfort. This treatment is done by a device that has little needle pricks that stimulate the skin. Although there are devices on the market that allow this treatment option to be done at home, it is highly recommended that a dermatologist or board certified electrologist performs the procedure in an office setting due to the risks of infection and scarring. A micro-needling device typically includes a roller with wheels of pens and needles as well as a cluster at the tip.
The healing response in this type of treatment produces additional collagen which improves the overall appearance of the skin. Normally this type of treatment is performed in 5 to 6 settings within at least two to three weeks apart. Absorption of the products after the treatment is also a great benefit.
