Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s used to treat skin concerns by stimulating collagen production. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment creates micro-punctures in the skin using miniature, sterilized needles.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD), the skin’s healing process after microneedling can help reduce the appearance of scars and dark spots as well as improve skin elasticity.
Microneedling can help improve the appearance and texture of your skin. It can minimize stretch marks, scars, wrinkles, and other skin concerns. It doesn't carry the risk of skin discoloration, unlike some facial rejuvenation procedures that use heat, light, or lasers.
Benefits of microneedling can include:
- Reducing the appearance of scars, including acne scars
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Reducing enlarged pores
- Reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, or dark spots
- Smoothing uneven skin tone
- Improving skin elasticity
- Reducing the appearance of stretch marks
- Reducing the appearance of scars
- Promoting hair growth in people with alopecia
Chemical Peel
Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that can be applied to the face, hands, and neck. They’re used to improve the appearance or feel of the skin. During this procedure, chemical solutions will be applied to the area being treated, which causes the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. Once this happens, the new skin underneath is often smoother, appears less wrinkled, and may have less damage.
There are a number of reasons people may get chemical peels. They may be trying to treat a variety of things, including:
- wrinkles and fine lines
- Sun damage
- Acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation
- Scars
- Melasma
- Uneven skin tone or redness
