Retaining tight, youthful skin with age is compounded by low production of collagen. Collagen is a structural protein whose role is integral to skin hydration, tightness, and suppleness. The most effective non-surgical way to boost collagen production is through Microneedling. The cosmetic therapy has been popular because it has successfully rejuvenated naturally. The professionals at the North York Cosmetic Clinic are experts at performing Microneedling in North York to bring back the youthfulness and feel of the skin.
Understanding Collagen and Its Importance
The human skin is comprised of about 80% collagen. Collagen is what gives skin its soft, plump, and elastic feel. Collagen production, however, decreases by a little over 1% every year over 20 years, thereby leading to wrinkles, sagging, as well as thinning skin. Exposure to sun, pollution, as well as other lifestyle factors like smoking also speeds breakdown of collagen. Keeping collagen levels intact with supplements is, therefore, fundamental in having healthy skin as well as avoiding outward ageing signs.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling or collagen induction therapy involves creating micro-injuries on the surface of the skin with fine, sterile micro-needles in a controlled environment. The micro-injuries will then activate intrinsic repair mechanisms in the skin, leading to new collagen and elastin formation. The therapy will rejuvenate skin texture, reduce fine lines, tighten pores, and improve skin tone. In North York Cosmetic Clinic, microneedling is performed by high-technology equipment, making it safe, precise, and most promising.
How Microneedling Stimulates Collagen Production
Microneedling utilizes the natural process of healing on the skin. The micro-needles puncture the skin, causing a cascade effect with biological reactions. These involve platelet activation, growth factor release, and activation of the cells that are in charge of synthesizing collagen. The process forms a dense collagen network that causes tightening and elasticization of the skin. It will eventually lead to better skin texture and removal of scars, wrinkles, and other skin abnormalities.
Additionally, penetration is also enhanced by microneedling because it allows for topical agents such as active ingredients and serums introduced either during or shortly following therapy. Synergy stimulates collagen formation and enhances rejuvenating actions of therapy.
Scientific Evidence Supporting Microneedling
There are various clinical studies testifying to microneedling as an effective collagen-stimulation therapy. In one clinical study published by the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery, patients receiving several courses of microneedling had improved skin texture, elasticity, and the appearance of acne scars with improved formation of collagen and elastin. In a different study, it was discovered that with platelet-rich plasma (PRP therapy), collagen formation is increased with optimal outcomes for rejuvenation of skin.
We at North York Cosmetic Clinic offer microneedling with or without PRP, as applicable to your specific skin needs and wants.
Long-Term Benefits of Collagen Boosting Through Microneedling
The benefits of microneedling do not end with the immediate renewal of skin. Since collagen continues to accumulate over a period of months, patients will continue to have improved skin texture, tone, and softness months down the line from therapy. A few treatments with microneedling in North York can then be utilized to maintain and reinforce these outcomes, circumventing more invasive methods like surgical facelifts.
Not only is collagen-enriched skin more resistant to environmental aggressions, but it is also tighter and smoother. More dense collagen tightens the skin barrier and improves hydration retentive qualities as well as overall skin health.
