At Align Body & Wellness in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Shannon Kibble, APRN, CNP, and the team can make your skin look the best it has in years with microneedling treatments. To learn more about microneedling and how it can improve your skin tone and texture, call Align Body & Wellness or request your appointment online today.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a treatment that improves your skin’s tone and texture by stimulating your skin’s natural production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that lends your skin structure, strength, and firmness. You lose some of it with age, which gives your skin an aged appearance. Microneedling can reduce many common signs of aging without surgery, injections, or medications.
During a microneedling treatment, your provider at Align Body & Wellness uses a handpiece with many tiny pins on its head to create small injuries in the surface layer of your skin.
Your skin responds by repairing these injuries and producing new collagen to heal them. You might not notice a big difference immediately, but your skin continues to improve for several months after your microneedling treatment.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
Microneedling offers a number of benefits for your skin. You can use the treatment to improve specific skin features or to make an overall improvement to the way it looks and feels to the touch. Features that microneedling treatments are known to improve include:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Big pores
- Skin laxity
- Scars
- Acne
- Rosacea
- Hyperpigmentation
- Stretch marks
Your provider at Align Body & Wellness may include a moisturizer, serum, or other product with your microneedling treatment. The channels created by the needles can help deliver rejuvenating products to deeper layers of your skin so that you can get the most out of them.
Am I a candidate for microneedling?
Microneedling is minimally invasive and safe for most people interested in trying it. However, you should still attend a brief consultation with your provider to make sure you’re comfortable getting the treatment. You can also compare treatment options to make sure microneedling is your most favorable choice. Your provider may suggest microneedling as a skin enhancement treatment if you:
- Don’t form keloid scars
- Have healthy skin clear of infections
- Aren’t pregnant
- Have already tried home skin care treatments
- Prefer minimally invasive options
If you have an active skin condition, your Align Body & Wellness provider may encourage you to wait until it clears up before you try microneedling.
