Microneedling

---

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve skin texture and appearance. Here’s a breakdown of what it involves:

Procedure

Preparation: The skin is cleaned, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

Microneedling: A device equipped with fine needles is used to create thousands of tiny, controlled punctures (micro-injuries) in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process, which boosts collagen and elastin production.

At Venya Medical Spa our basic microneedling treatment is always performed using hyaluronic acid. The benefits of microneedling with HA include:

Hydration

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin that attracts and retains moisture. When applied topically during microneedling, HA can penetrate the skin surface and hydrates the skin, helping to plump and smooth the complexion. This hydration effect improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look more supple and youthful.

Stimulates Collagen Production

Microneedling itself stimulates collagen and elastin production by creating micro-injuries in the skin. When combined with HA, this process is enhanced. Collagen is crucial for maintaining skin structure and elasticity, and its production helps to improve skin firmness and reduce the signs of aging over time.

Improves Skin Texture

Microneedling with HA can help to improve uneven skin texture, including rough patches, acne scars, and enlarged pores. The tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin, allowing the HA to penetrate deeper and more effectively, promoting smoother and more even skin tone.

Enhances Product Absorption

Microneedling with HA enhances the absorption of hyaluronic acid and other beneficial skincare ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin. This amplifies the effectiveness of the treatment and any subsequent skincare products applied post-procedure.

Natural Approach

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, making it well-tolerated by most individuals. It reduces the risk of adverse reactions or allergies that can occur with synthetic compounds.
