Spring Clean Your Skincare: 3 Ways Microneedling Can Refresh Your Look

Bumpy texture, visible pores, and growing wrinkles can all inspire you to make a change for your skin. Your home skincare routine can ward off some damage, but an in-office procedure can give your skin a much more dramatic reset as the weather warms up. 

At Pure Bliss Medspa in Sandy Springs, Georgia, Asha Hill, NP, can give your skin a much-needed springtime refresh with personalized microneedling treatments. Microneedling goes above and beyond other facials by infusing products directly into channels in your skin. 

How microneedling works

Microneedling is a process that uses extremely fine needles to create tiny channels in your skin’s surface layers. The holes are barely visible, but they kick-start your skin’s natural healing process. Your own cells heal surface-level damage in the weeks following your microneedling procedure.

The microneedling process stimulates the production of collagen deep in your skin. Collagen, a structural protein, helps your skin stay firm and tight. Your natural collagen declines with age, so rebuilding it with microneedling can minimize common signs of skin aging.

Asha can customize your microneedling procedure at Pure Bliss Medspa to include serums that benefit your skin. She can also adjust the depth of the needles according to your skin’s needs. 

3 microneedling benefits

Microneedling can refresh your look in several specific ways. Asha might recommend a series of a few evenly spaced microneedling treatments to reach your goals. 

1. Smoothing skin texture

Your skin naturally roughens as you get older. Features like scars (including acne scars), stretch marks, and large pores can all affect your skin’s texture.

Microneedling makes your skin’s texture more even by boosting its healing process and helping break down excessive scar tissue. You can choose specific areas to target if you have scars or other texture issues you want to address. 

If you have any current acne, it’s best to wait until it clears up to get microneedling. Once it does, you can target any acne scars left behind from the inflammation. 

2. Reducing discoloration

It’s common to see spots and blotches appear on your skin with age. Age spots, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation can all fade after several microneedling sessions, leaving you with an even complexion.

Uniquely, microneedling doesn’t come with the risk of skin discoloration as a side effect, while some laser treatments do. This makes microneedling a choice treatment for people with darker skin tones.

3. Firming for fewer wrinkles 

With new collagen growth comes new elastin growth. Elastin is another protein in your skin that’s similar to collagen. Collagen increases firmness, while elastin keeps your skin tight. 

By improving collagen and elastin growth, microneedling can tighten your skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crepey skin, and sagging areas.

You can expect to see the final result 3-6 months after your treatment, but you can continue getting maintenance treatments about once a year to keep boosting collagen and elastin.
