The skin has an exceptional ability of healing itself by producing proteins, collagen fibers and elastin, that work coefficiently together to keep the skin firm, strong, supple and healthy. The bad news is, as we age naturally this ability slows down over time, and we begin to see the signs of aging with wrinkles and sagging skin. When we’re young, the skin takes anywhere between 27 to 28 days to completely turn over and renew itself, and as we get older it takes closer to 37 to 38 days for this process. That is why it is more difficult to correct older skin - because of it’s prolonged exposure to oxidative stress, it is and therefore appears older, dryer, more pigmentation spots, fine lines and deep wrinkles, scarring, and loss of firmness. Therefore we look less luminous, and young. To aid with the correction or slowing down of this process, we use various techniques to help the skin shed off old layers faster, and build up those new collagen and elastin fibers. This is where we introduce microneedling - to the aging rescue!
