Microneedling

Microneedling

Microneedling is a non-ablative procedure that involves the usage of tiny surgical steel needles that gently pierce the top layer of the skin to increase the skin’s production of natural growth factors.

The mechanism of action is rather simple, when the needles gently push through the very top layer of the skin, they pierce the viable epidermal cells known as keratinocytes. Those keratinocytes then naturally release their own payload of protein molecules, growth factors and cytokines, the signaling messenger molecules which then flood through the rest of the skin. These molecules coordinate and instruct the skin’s ability to heal.

While most lasers or other modalities that burn through the barrier stimulate a significant amount of inflammation, microneedling mitigates any excess inflammatory cascade while tapping into the skin’s regenerative capacity.

This process is extremely conducive to what we see in children, and their body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate itself. This is due to an abundance of circulating stem cells and growth factors in our body. Microneedling naturally increases the skins production of growth factors.

Not only is microneedling a phenomenal way to stimulate regeneration via the wound healing cascade, but it also allows for an increase in nutrient uptake and bio-availability.
