Basics On Micro Needling Albuquerque Residents Should Know

By Andrew Collins


The desire for smoother more youthful skin is one that affects virtually all skin tones. Such a desire is bound to increase as one advances of age. Micro needling is one of the emerging techniques when it comes to reducing wrinkles and fine lines. The method has been readily embraced by skincare enthusiasts who have lauded it for its effectiveness and minimal side effects. If they wish to have micro needling Albuquerque residents should first understand a number of things.

This procedure is also termed collagen induction therapy because it induces the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. The reason as to why this is important is because the main underlying condition is loose and broken down connective tissue fibers. Numerous fine needles are used to cause minute puncture wounds on the epidermal layer of the skin. Healing starts to take place within a few days to weeks.

Typically, the procedure is conducted in an office under the guidance of a dermatologist (or plastic surgeon). This means that you will be allowed home within a few hours once it has been completed. It may also be done at home at the recommendation of the specialist. An instrument known as a dermaroller is fitted with numerous fine needles and is used to cause the wounds by rolling it on the area of interest.

The principle that is applied in this procedure is similar to that used for laser based therapies. The main difference is that the micro injuries of needling are mechanical as opposed to those that are produced by laser beams which mainly come about due to heat and light. Advantages of micro needling include ability to be used in all parts of the body and at any time (including pregnancy and breastfeeding) and the shorter recovery time.

There is inter-individual variability with regard to the results. Whereas the majority of people experience significant improvement with a few sessions, others require many more sessions spread over weeks or months. Your dermatologist will advise on the total number of sessions needed after clinically evaluating your condition.

Studies show that micro needling increases the absorption of many topical skin products leading to better results than when the products are used on their own. Ordinarily, only 4 to 8 per cent of topical products are absorbed through the skin. The procedure creates ports of entry for therapeutic products to enter the skin which enables the individual to realize the full benefits. This has been proven through a number of studies.

Currently, this procedure is being adopted for use in the management of acne scars. The length of needles that are to be used for this should not exceed 1.5 mm. Mild scars can be effectively managed from home but more severe forms will need the help of a dermatologist.

Micro needling has become one of the main therapies for ageing. It has also been shown to have other benefits to the skin. Such include management of sun damaged skin, treatment of hyperpigmentation and the shrinkage of skin pores. Although it was initially designed to be used on the face, its use has expanded to include other exposed body areas such as the chest, legs and the back among others.
