How does microneedling work?
Microneedling operates on the principle of controlled skin injury to trigger the body's natural repair mechanisms. Microneedling in Springfield, MO, involves using a device equipped with fine needles that penetrate the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. These micro-injuries prompt the release of growth factors and cytokines, initiating a cascade of cellular responses.
The body responds to these micro-injuries by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers, essential components of skin structure and elasticity. As new collagen forms, the skin undergoes remodeling, improving texture and firmness. Additionally, microneedling may enhance the delivery of topical skincare products by creating microchannels in the skin, allowing for deeper penetration and potential increased efficacy of serums and growth factors. This may promote skin rejuvenation from within, supporting a smoother, more youthful appearance.
