Microneedling is an aesthetic treatment lauded by many for its benefits to the tone and texture of the skin. This minimally-invasive treatment is an excellent method for improving the appearance of various skin concerns, from fine lines to scarring and more. Below, you’ll learn more about the benefits of microneedling for patients seeking healthier, more radiant skin.

The Microneedling Process

In microneedling, a numbing cream is first applied to the skin to minimize discomfort, followed by a solution of hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. Then, a microneedling pin is applied over the surface of the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. This process stimulates natural collagen production in the skin while improving absorption of the nutrient solution.

Hydration is so important for your skin. And during the fall weather changes, it becomes even more important to be hypervigilant about hydration. Here are some of the reasons you need to make sure that you hydrate your skin during the fall when the humidity is lower and dry skin rears its ugly head.

Do you suffer from dry skin? If so, you are probably using a moisturizer to remedy the problem. Many moisturizers are oil based, intending to replace the oils that your skin is not producing naturally. Some moisturizers, however, are hyaluronic acid based. Hyaluronic acid is better for your skin for several reasons.

Hyaluronic Acid Is Natural

Your body already has stores of hyaluronic acid, and about half of it is in your skin. Hyaluronic acid is what keeps skin hydrated and moisturized, as well as smooth and supple. As we age, our stores and production of hyaluronic acid decrease, sometimes considerably. This leads to the signs of aging that we all begin to notice around our mid-30s to 40s. Hyaluronic acid moisturizers supplement this natural element in your skin to boost your skin health.

Vitamin C is very important to your overall health, but you may not be aware of the many health benefits that vitamin C has for your skin. In addition to its antioxidant properties, vitamin C can benefit any skin type and several skin conditions. Here are three benefits of vitamin C for your skin that might surprise you.

Photoprotection

Vitamin C naturally protects the skin against damaging ultraviolet light exposure. When you spend a lot of time outdoors, it is very important that you protect your skin from the sun’s damaging rays. In addition to wearing sunscreen, applying vitamin C or including it in your diet can help mitigate any damage from the sun. It can also help reverse damage from the sun.

Many people only consider putting on sunscreen when they are outdoors for a long period of time, such as going to the park or the beach, but it is actually important to wear sunscreen as frequently as possible to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging rays. In particular, it is important to wear sunscreen before and after any facial treatment such as a facial, a chemical peel, or another type of treatment.

Sensitive Skin

When you get a facial, chemical peel, microdermabrasion, microneedling, or another anti-aging treatment, the extreme exfoliation exposes new, fresh skin to the surface. These newer, deeper layers of skin are more sensitive to the sun’s rays and may burn more easily. Sun exposure before or after exfoliation can also increase the likelihood of the formation of new lines and wrinkles.

There are a lot of skincare treatments out there, and each of them is great for a different skin type and condition. Here are the three most common skincare treatments, their benefits, and how to choose the right one for your skin.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a great skincare treatment that can give your skin a fresh new look and feel. A chemical is applied to the face after a thorough cleansing and exfoliation, then rinsed away after a few minutes. The chemicals cause the upper layers of the skin to peel away, leaving fresh new healthy skin in its wake. This is a great skincare treatment if you have skin that is oily and acne prone or if you have skin that is losing its luster and shine.

As we age, we begin to notice changes in our skin. It may not be as tight, firm, or supple as it was in the past. You may also be experiencing some fine lines and wrinkles that are just beginning to show. There are some great ways that you can keep your skin looking fresh and young at this stage without invasive cosmetic procedures. Here are the three top ways to keep your skin looking fresh and young for longer.

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a great way to revitalize your skin. The chemical peel allows the superficial layers of skin to be peeled away, revealing fresh youthful skin beneath. This also stimulates collagen production, which can help make skin and surrounding tissues tighter and firmer. A chemical peel is a minimally invasive procedure that can be done in an afternoon, with final results in one to two weeks after the peel.
