As you age, your skin undergoes many changes. The skin becomes thinner and more sensitive after years of exposure to the elements. Additionally, changes can occur with the texture, tone, and elasticity of the skin, causing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. There are many approaches patients in the Webster, TX area can take when it comes to improving their skin’s appearance in the later stages of life, and the team at Acqua Med Spa may recommend the benefits of microneedling.

What is microneedling and how does it work?

Microneedling is just one of many aesthetic services available at Acqua Med Spa. With microneedling, patients will relax in the treatment chair as their skin is cleansed before beginning. Then, a specialized device with hundreds of very tiny needles is used along the skin. Microneedling is used to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process which involves an increase of collagen and elastin—the same elements that maintain volume that is associated with youthfulness. Fine lines and wrinkles are less noticeable, and the skin’s texture and tone improves significantly with each treatment.

The results of microneedling are not seem immediately. Instead, they occur with time as collagen and elastin levels increase. After the age of 30, the natural stores of collagen and elastin begin to lessen, which is what makes microneedling crucial to restoring one’s aged appearance.

What other ways can microneedling help the skin?

Microneedling is a treatment that can also be performed to help the absorption of topical medications into the skin. This penetration allows patients to see faster results with topical treatments used for anti-aging or acne. Microneedling is often combined with other treatments and services at Acqua Med Spa for the most dramatic results in skin improvement, allowing patients to take charge of their aging skin and maintain their youthfulness for longer!
