We’ve written at length in our library of blog posts about the amazing benefits of microneedling. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is an anti-aging treatment in which a needle is used to create micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. These injuries cause the body to produce collagen and elastin — two proteins that help keep our skin looking firm, tight, young, and healthy. In case you’re wondering, that means you can say bye-bye to stretch marks, too.
Wait! No more stretch marks? Yes! And microneedling is the answer.
We’d all love to get rid of our stretch marks!
Our skin is more prone to a variety of skin conditions as we age. The obvious ones are fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, loss of elasticity, uneven skin tone and texture, etc. For the most part, there are known procedures available to treat these conditions to encourage confidence and embracing yourself.
What most people aren’t aware of is that there is an answer to stretch marks, too. Stretch marks are unintended streaks and imperfections in the skin that appear practically anywhere on the body, including the breasts, buttocks, hips, and abdomen. Stretch marks are a source of serious self-esteem issues for men and women, and most of us are constantly hiding them in shame. A variety of factors cause them:
- Pregnancy
- Weight gain
- Growth spurts
- Medication side effects
- Rapid increase in muscle size through weightlifting
Imagine stimulating your skin’s natural ability to repair itself!
For the longest time, people just like you would turn to lotions like coco butter to reduce redness and the overall appearance of stretch marks. But it has never been a long-term solution. Microneedling treatments in Frisco, Plano, Carrollton, and Lewisville help restart collagen production to help in healing the damaged connective tissue in the dermis that created the stretch mark in the first place. Because this treatment penetrates the skin deep enough, it’s a longer-lasting answer to your stretch mark worries.
At Live Young Wellness Spa in Flower Mound and Castle Hills, we use a MicroPen (also known as the SkinPen). The SkinPen is a medical-grade, state-of-the-art microneedling device that creates thousands of precise micro-injuries in the dermis. Because we are using this “pen,” we can deliver a more controlled, precise procedure that activates your skin’s self-repair process. It can also be modified to your individual skincare needs and provides versatility to create change beyond your face. The SkinPen is also great for a person’s neck, chest, legs, back, abdomen, and hands.
Microneedling and the revolutionary SkinPen give you the softer, younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging that you deserve. It’s also perfect for all skin types.
