Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures on the skin's surface. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production and resulting in smoother, firmer skin. At Serotonin Centers, we offer personalized sessions of microneedling in South Tampa with or without PRP enhancements to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and minimize scars.
The mechanism of action behind microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are proteins responsible for maintaining skin structure, firmness, and elasticity.
As the skin heals, the production of collagen and elastin increases, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Additionally, the microchannels created during microneedling enhance the absorption of skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin for improved efficacy. This process may support skin rejuvenation and could reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.
