We’ve all heard that collagen is the key to youthful, plump, and glowing skin — but what’s the best way to support collagen production, especially as we age?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It plays a vital role not only in maintaining smooth, firm skin, but also in supporting healthy joints, bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. The word “collagen” comes from the Greek word kolla, meaning “glue” — and for good reason. Collagen literally holds us together.
Microneedling is a professional skin rejuvenation procedure that encourages the skin’s natural ability to repair itself. The microneedling pen uses a precision-controlled motorized tip to create thousands of microscopic channels in the upper layers of the skin.
These tiny micro-channels stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration process, helping to support collagen and elastin production. As your skin heals, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more evenly toned. This process also helps enhance the absorption of professional-grade skincare products for even better results.
As we age, our skin naturally begins to lose collagen — the structural protein responsible for keeping our skin smooth, firm, and youthful. In fact, between the ages of 20 and 40, collagen levels can decline by up to 50%. With this gradual loss of support, the skin may appear thinner, less elastic, and more prone to wrinkles.
While injectables and topical skincare have their place in any skin journey, microneedling stands out as a powerful professional option to support collagen renewal and visibly rejuvenate the skin — all without surgery.
When large pimples or acne are left untreated, they may heal with a pit or a depression or what is known as a scar due to severe inflammation. Those with oily skin type, high levels of androgens and PCOS are likely to scar more.
If you’ve struggled with breakouts, you know that clearing active acne is just one part of the journey. For many, the lasting effects — uneven texture, dark marks, or pitted scars — remain long after blemishes fade. Fortunately, treatments like microneedling may help improve the visible signs of post-acne scarring.
Having needles penetrate your skin might not sound like a super appealing way to better looking skin, but trust me, after one treatment you will be hooked!
MicroNeedling or Collage Induction Therapy as it also is called, is done with a small hand held devise that makes tiny controlled punctures called a micro-wounds, or channels. These micro-wounds trigger the bodies healing process to produce new collagen and elastin within the dermis, (lower layer of the skin). Also new capillaries are formed for improved blood supply.
