Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive skin treatment designed to rejuvenate and enhance the skin’s appearance. The procedure involves the use of fine, sterile needles that create micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—key proteins that are essential for healthy, youthful-looking skin.
The micro-injuries created by microneedling trigger the skin’s natural healing response. As the skin heals, fibroblast cells in the dermis begin producing more collagen and elastin fibers, a process known as collagenogenesis. Collagen is a vital protein that helps maintain the skin’s firmness, elasticity, and structure. By stimulating collagen production, microneedling improves the skin’s ability to repair itself, resulting in improved texture and a more youthful appearance.
The SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device designed to safely and effectively treat a variety of skin concerns. Unlike other microneedling tools, the SkinPen® utilizes precision technology to ensure controlled, uniform penetration at customizable depths, targeting different layers of the skin. This device delivers consistent results and minimizes risks compared to older or non-FDA-approved devices.
The SkinPen® has also received FDA clearance for the treatment of facial acne scars, ensuring that it is safe and effective for improving the appearance of acne scarring. At Aesthetic Beauty By Serena PA-C, we trust the SkinPen® for its precision, safety, and outstanding results.
Energy-based microneedling devices, such as those using radiofrequency (RF), are sometimes marketed for their ability to tighten skin and improve texture by stimulating deeper layers. However, if not used correctly or overused, these devices can impact the deeper fat layers of the face. Excessive heat or energy levels may lead to a reduction in subcutaneous fat, which could contribute to facial thinning or a hollowed appearance over time. At Aesthetic Beauty by Serena, we prioritize a balanced approach, ensuring your treatment enhances skin health without compromising facial structure.
At Aesthetic Beauty by Serena, we offer a personalized approach to microneedling, ensuring safe, effective, and comfortable treatments tailored to your unique skin needs.
