What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a treatment that uses many fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. The needles trigger the skin’s natural healing process, including the creation of: 

Collagen

Collagen is the main structural protein in the body, accounting for nearly one-third of all the protein in your body. It helps make cartilage, bone, skin, muscles, and more. Collagen also provides skin support to prevent wrinkles and sagging.

Elastin

Elastin is a protein that links with microfibrils in your skin, creating elastic fibers. These fibers help your skin stretch and recede, which is essential for skin tightness. After about age 20, your body starts making less collagen and elastin. Losing about 1% of your natural collagen and elastin yearly is common, and it’s the reason why you might notice issues like less-firm and less-tight skin as you age. The only way to continue a high level of collagen and elastin production is an injury, as your body responds by trying to heal injuries with new collagen and elastin. Microneedling creates the ideal circumstances for skin improvement: very mild skin injury that can jump-start extra collagen and elastin growth without truly damaging your skin. 

What skin problems does microneedling treat?

Microneedling is a popular anti-aging and skin enhancement treatment for men and women with issues such as:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Rough skin
• Loose skin
• Sun-damaged skin
• Enlarged pores
• Acne scars
• Uneven skin tone

The Tulsi Wellness Club team examines your skin and asks about your specific treatment goals so they can customize your microneedling and give you ideal results.  

How can microneedling be customized?

Microneedling is a highly customizable treatment based on your needs. After creating the tiny skin punctures, your skin is primed for optimal absorption of substances that benefit and nourish your skin. This process is called a microneedling facial. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) includes your body’s own blood platelets, which produce growth factors that enhance healing and stimulate more efficient collagen and elastin growth. Other popular microneedling facial add-ons include vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. 

Tulsi Wellness Club offers microneedling and other aesthetic injections like PRP injections conveniently in the office. Call the office or book your microneedling session online today.
