We all know microneedling is great for collagen, but let's talk about the other benefits that get overlooked.
1. It purges 'zombie cells' (senopurging). As we age, our skin accumulates senescent cells.
These are cells that refuse to die, sitting in your dermis secreting a toxic chemical cocktail that actively destroys your healthy collagen. Studies show the mechanical trauma of microneedling acts as a senotherapeutic tool, forcing the zombie cells to clear out so fresh and vibrant cells can take over.
2. It builds a brand new plumbing system (angiogenesis). These micro injuries trigger a massive release of growth factor that signals your body to sprout entirely new, healthy micro blood vessels in the dermis. This flushes out stagnant cellular waste and floods, dull skin with fresh oxygen and vitamins, replacing a fragile skin barrier with a stronger radiant glow.
3. It upgrades your skin's armor (filaggren production). It sounds counterintuitive, but creating little micro injuries in the skin actually triggers a gene that produces filaggrin, the essential protein your skin uses to build its physical barrier. It literally trains chronic dry, hyper reactive skin to become stronger and naturally lock in water.
It's not a quick aging trick, it's a total cellular remodel. For healthy, happy, youthful skin💫
✨️We all know the benefits of microneedling: firmer, smoother, plumper skin, visibly softer fine lines, a reduction in acne scars, pores that are less noticeable, a reduction in hyperpigmentation, and a more even tone & texture.
I just thought I'd share some of the science 🤓
