Introduction
Microneedling is a treatment to treat wrinkles, fine lines, and scars caused by acne or injury. It is a cosmetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny and sterile needles. Also referred to as collagen induction therapy, Microneedling increases the skin’s production of collagen and elastin to reduce the signs of aging further. At La Vie MD we use skin pen for micro needling, its gold standard and first FDA approved treatment of microneedling in San Jose, San Francisco Bay Area, and Danville.
How it works
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin. Your healthcare provider uses thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. These proteins keep your skin firm and smooth.
Benefits
Microneedling can help improve the appearance and overall texture of your skin. It is effective to minimize stretch marks, scars, wrinkles, and other skin concerns. Unlike some other facial rejuvenation procedures that use heat, light, or lasers, it has less risk of skin discoloration. This makes microneedling ideal for people with darker skin tones. It majorly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Shrinks open pores and reduces Rosacea. Also, it fights sun damage & stretch marks.
