Microneedling in Beaverton
Microneedling is an exceptional therapy for everything from fine lines and wrinkles, to scars, to stretch marks, and more. It works in 2 primary ways.
​
#1: A Workout for Your Skin​
Microneedling causes a little bit of damage to the skin by poking thousands of tiny holes in the skin. When done correctly, it is not enough to leave lasting damage, but it is enough to stimulate the body's natural healing response. It helps the tissue grow back better. It is like a workout for your skin, but instead of stimulating muscle growth, it stimulates collagen growth for healthier, more youthful looking skin. This is where the other name for microneedling is derived; Collagen Induction Therapy.
​
#2: World Class Absorption
The same mechanism that causes collagen induction also opens small channels in the skin that make it possible for products that are applied topically to absorb up to 3000% more than they would normally. This means specialized serums can be used to enhance the benefits of microneedling and those serums are going deep into the skin to do their work. Most serums applied topically have poor penetration of the skin when not combined with microneedling.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Mironeedling is typically best when used in combination with other therapies for fine lines and wrinkles. For example, Xeomin can be used to relax the facial muscles that are causing dynamic wrinkles while microneedling can be used to support increased collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
​
Additionally, when combined with potent serums, the effects can be increased even more. No aesthetics routine is complete without microneedling.
​
Microneedling is also a great initial treatment option for people who are new to aesthetics and want to ease into their new, youthful, glow up.
Stretch Marks
There are many reasons to have stretch marks, but most people would rather not have them. While microneedling cannot completely erase stretch marks it can improve their appearance, which can be a huge confidence boost. ​
Scars
Most people would rather not have scars if possible. If you are one of those people, but you have scars, consider microneedling. Microneedling may not be able to remove scars completely, but it can help reduce the appearance of scars which can make people feel more comfortable in their skin.
Serums
Microneedling is great, but microneedling with top-of-the-line serums is even better. At Apricot Health Clinic we provide several options when it comes to Microneedling, including basic microneedling with hyaluronic acid, and more advance mcroneedling options that include specialty serums to enhance your treatment experience.
