4 ways that microneedling is an anti-aging powerhouse

As you age, you may not like the changes you see in the appearance of your skin and face. Fortunately, microneedling treatment is made for aging skin. Signs of aging develop deep within the skin, and microneedling treats the skin from the inside out to make a real difference in how your skin looks and feels. 

Here are four common signs of aging that are expertly treated at the Columbia, Maryland, area office of Eternal Dermatology & Aesthetic Center in Fulton:

1 – Lines and wrinkles 

Natural collagen production begins to decline in our 20s. After the age of 40, this process accelerates. Collagen loss is associated with a loss of firmness and the development of new or worsening lines, creases, and folds. Microneedling renews the production of collagen. The collagen gradually plumps up your skin, which helps to soften lines, wrinkles, and other depressions.

2 – Saggy skin

Like collagen, elastin is made naturally by our bodies. Elastin is what gives your skin its flexibility and elasticity, or the ability for the skin to recover its shape after being stretched. As elastin is lost, you may notice that your skin is losing its elasticity. It may appear droopy. Cheeks may flatten, jowls develop, and changes in how tissue is distributed can result in distinctive hollows (such as the tear troughs under the eyes). By encouraging the production of new elastin, microneedling tightens the skin for recontouring without the need for surgery.

3 – Dark spots 

As we age, years of tanning and sun exposure can appear on our faces as dark “age spots.” Hormonal changes that accompany the aging process can also lead to hyperpigmentation, characterized by spots and blotches that appear darker than the surrounding skin. Microneedling works in two ways to fade discoloration: One, the “micro-injuries” created during treatment break down the highly concentrated areas of pigment. As part of the body’s natural repair processes, melanin is dispersed more evenly as the skin heals. Two, microneedling improves the appearance of hyperpigmentation by re-energizing the body’s natural cell turnover. It encourages the removal of older, highly pigmented skin cells, which makes way for fresh, evenly pigmented cells. 

4 – Dull, leathery skin

As cell turnover slows down during the aging process, the old and damaged skin cells also build up on the surface and make our complexions look lacklustre. The build-up of old cells also contributes to rough patches and dryness. Microneedling helps to accelerate the cell turnover process. In doing so, your skin gradually looks more radiant and also feels softer. 

Microneedling also helps “anti-aging” skincare products to work more effectively. The microscopic openings created by the micro-needles allow for your powerful age-fighting serums, creams, and other products to be absorbed and penetrate deeply. This maximizes their effectiveness, allowing them to work as designed and support your best results.
