Skin radiance is craved by all. Everyone wants to have beautiful, clean, and scar-free radiant skin. But certain skin disorders may clog your dreams and leave ugly marks that refuse to fade away quickly. Acne scars are one such problem that plagues  many men and women. It may be depressing, leading to a loss of self-esteem. But not to worry, we have a solution. One can always opt for beauty treatments that boost your body’s collagen production. 

It’s true that you can achieve smooth and glowing skin. Licensed aestheticians have various treatment choices at their disposal to help improve skin conditions—from lasers to chemical peels to microdermabrasion. Another minimally-invasive option is microneedling treatment, a non-surgical procedure for those struggling with acne scars, wrinkles, and other facial scars. You need only a few sessions, and it can improve the skin’s texture and tone, and reduce the signs of aging.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a treatment that uses tiny needles to penetrate the skin to increase collagen levels, thereby giving you a beautiful complexion. Collagen induction therapy or microneedling or skin needling is a cosmetic procedure involving repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles. Microneedling for acne scars is as effective as laser therapy. It involves no pain and has no/fewer side effects.

How Does Microneedling Work?

A licensed aesthetician at My Perfect Skin Clinic inserts a series of fine needles into your skin to create micro-wounds to produce more elastin and collagen in the dermis at a controlled depth. Collagen is an essential protein that helps to keep the skin looking youthful, giving it a firm, smooth, and stretchy texture. As the adjustable needles penetrate the dermis, micro-channels begin to form. These micro-channels cause the release of growth factors and stimulate collagen production. The new collagen is deposited, which helps improve the scar’s appearance by restructuring the skin. The increase in collagen levels makes one look younger.
