What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a treatment in which invisible, microscopic holes are pricked into the top layer of your skin, the epidermis, with sterile, fine needles. Microneedling stimulates your skin's natural ability to heal in response to the tiny punctures. Your skin's healing response results in the release of growth factors, which also cause an increase in collagen production in your skin.
The importance of collagen
As we age, our body produces less and less collagen. Microneedling increases your skin's collagen production. And the result? Fine lines and wrinkles, acne, dark spots, melasma, enlarged pores, stretch marks and scars are reduced. Microneedling also has a tightening effect by improving the skin's elasticity and structure.
What can I expect from my microneedling treatment at Botti Beauty & Relax?
Before the treatment, the treatment goal is defined in a personal conversation and all steps are briefly explained again.
And then you can start - with a gentle cleaning including disinfection. Hyaluronic acid is then applied to your skin.
The next step is the actual needling, in which the skin is treated with microfine needles. But don't worry - the treatment is not painful.
Finally, a special cooling fleece mask is applied to soothe the skin and provide it with sufficient moisture.
The needling leads to an activation of growth factors. The skin cells are activated to produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
Immediately after the treatment, the skin is slightly reddened and is treated with special skin-soothing active ingredients. For example, the hyaluronic acid concentrate from IMAGE Skincare® to strengthen and improve skin firmness and moisture content.< /span>
There is little to no downtime with microneedling. The treated area will have visible redness that may last for two to four days. After treatment, you should use sunscreen for at least a week to protect the treated area from sunburn.
Depending on the treatment goal and skin condition, microneedling requires about 3-5 treatments at intervals of 3-6 weeks.
Who is not a candidate for microneedling?
Microneedling is approved for all skin types. However, make sure you provide us with your medical history as some medical conditions may rule you out as a candidate for microneedling. It is important that you fill out our information sheet completely and truthfully.
Also let us know if you have already performed other procedures on the area that we should treat with microneedling. For best results, you may have to wait a while before having another treatment on the same area.
