What is it?
Looking for a safe and affordable skin micro-needling in Houston? Come to My Favorite Beauty Lounge. We utilize the best and safest techniques including very fine needles. Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is used to break down old scar tissue and to stimulate skin cells to proliferate. It is a popular anti-aging technique that leaves your face looking younger and more refreshed by stimulating blood flow and cell multiplication resulting in the regeneration of elastin and collagen fibers which in turn result in new skin tissue.
Microneedling has become a very popular way of treating the following:
Mild to moderate acne
Any new or old scars
Fine lines and wrinkles;
Loose, lax skin;
Skin texture and pore size
Stretch marks
How exactly does Medical Micro-Needling work?
The microneedle device slides along the skin and penetrates 2mm in the upper layers of the skin creating numerous tiny needle wounds. This triggers a response from the body which then creates new collagen and elastin fibers. These then cause the skin to thicken, reducing the appearance of scars, and eliminating unsightly lines and wrinkles. Microneedling has been known to improve overall skin texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by stimulating tissue regeneration. It also gets rid of disfiguring scars, especially acne scars by producing new collagen fibers. It also work for people with stretch marks. Microneedling works for people of all skin colors.
How does the procedure work?
At My Favorite Beauty Lounge take great care to ensure that you are satisfied with the results. We begin by thoroughly cleaning the skin to lessen the discomfort. Then we use a collagen-stimulating product like Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin-C serum or skin lightener for pigmentation during the procedure. After the treatment, soothing Vitamin-C serum or Hyaluronic acid are used to hydrate, heal and protect the skin. The entire process takes approximately an hour.
Results of microneedling
After the procedure, most people will experience results with just one treatment although for best results, we recommend that you come back every 4-6 weeks. Within a week or two, your skin will be noticeably smoother and more radiant with the full effects being manifest a few months later.
Why perform Micro-Needling?
Microneedling has been known to dramatically increases blood circulation and collagen production resulting in the younger-looking skin especially in the scalp, face, body including fragile skin like around eyes, mouth, and neck.
