Collagen induction, known as microneedling, is a skin rejuvenation treatment used to treat various unpleasant skin disorders. There are two types of microneedling therapies: those that use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and those that do not.
Collagen is the major protein in the body responsible for the structure of every organ’s cells, including the skin. This is why adjusting its production level in the human body may improve and heal so much. Schedule a consultation with Giovinezza Laser and Skin Rejuvenation if you are interested in microneedling.
What is collagen induction therapy?
Collagens are one of the most important and widely accessible proteins in the human body, and they are responsible for the skin’s strength and suppleness. As the body ages, collagen synthesis slows, resulting in the appearance of aging symptoms on the skin. Collagen induction therapy is a basic procedure that involves using a derma-roller to generate micro-wounds on the skin. This calculated harm triggers the body’s natural healing reaction. Skin produces a healing reaction by producing collagen, which forms new skin cells, making the skin appear unexpectedly smooth and healthy.
Most patients experience relatively little discomfort, which is tolerable using numbing cream throughout the treatment. As the numbing cream takes effect, the pen is rolled over the target area, paying extra attention to the affected area. It is critical to understand that microneedling is not a quick fix because it encourages the creation of new skin. It will take many months for the full effects of the therapy to be obvious.
What can you expect?
First and foremost, you should consult with a qualified institution to discuss the dangers of the treatment and whether it is appropriate for you. You are now cleared to proceed with the operation. Your doctor will then use a topical anesthetic to numb the affected region.
The doctor will prepare the microneedling tool, a pen-like instrument that contains the microneedles after you are numb (about an hour later). He or she will roll this instrument over your skin evenly, causing micro-injuries. Following the approximately thirty-minute treatment, your doctor may apply a topical lotion to reduce irritation. The doctor may propose multiple follow-up operations depending on the severity of your scarring.
Why is CIT so popular?
Compared to other cosmetic treatments, the major reason CIT is such a popular option is the prospect of minimal downtime. Microneedling is non-invasive and needs no recuperation time. When conducted by a professional, it is also safe for most people. Patients should be concerned about nothing more than little redness and discomfort. For many people, microneedling is the simplest technique to minimize the appearance of acne scars and other facial markings. It is an excellent choice for individuals disappointed by face creams, masks, and peels.
