What Is Collagen Induction Therapy and Why Do You Need It
Skin ageing is caused by a number of factors. But about 80 per cent of visible ageing is caused by prolonged UV exposure. Sun damage slows down our skin’s cell renewal rate, making our skin dull and dry. To visibly reduce and reverse the signs of ageing, people try different skin and body treatments. It’s also been a practice to try various anti-ageing skincare products.
Some skincare practices can be done at home, but there are those that need expert hands. If you want to protect your skin from further sun damage and speed up cellular turnover, consider undergoing collagen induction therapy.
What is Collagen Induction Therapy?
Collagen induction therapy, which is more commonly known as microneedling, is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. It stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration by puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles.
Microneedling is one of the easiest ways to effectively reduce acne marks, burns, scars, and stretch marks. Since it is minimally invasive, it is safe and requires little to no recovery period. To give you a better idea of how great this treatment is, we’ve listed some of its benefits.
- Helps Treat Hyperpigmentation
Dark spots often appear on our skin due to excessive sun exposure, inflammation, or hormonal changes. There are several treatment options for hyperpigmentation. However, if you prefer a quick, safe, and effective treatment, collagen induction therapy might be exactly what you’re looking for.
Microneedling helps lighten dark spots by stimulating our skin’s natural wound-healing response. By speeding up our skin regeneration, it disperses clusters of melanin which lightens hyperpigmented areas.
Quick Tip: The key to having bright, glowing skin is to include Vitamin C in our skincare routine. By regularly applying products with 15% pure Vitamin C, such as Dermal Transfer Serum Vitamin C from Mayerling, we can expect the discolouration and hyperpigmentation on our skin to fade as days pass by.
2. Diminishes Acne Scars and Stretch Marks
Facial scars can be very challenging to treat. After all, the skin on our face is thinner and more delicate than the skin on the rest of our bodies. By undergoing collagen induction therapy, our skin’s natural healing process will be stimulated and facial scars would be less visible.
Apart from treating acne marks and other facial scars, microneedling can be used to lessen the appearance of stretch marks in other body areas. Study shows that collagen induction therapy, when combined with fillers, can also be effective for stretch marks on thighs and abdominal area.
Quick Tip: Different scars require different treatments. To determine collagen induction therapy is the most suitable treatment for your facial scar or stretch marks, we recommend getting in touch with our skin and beauty specialist.
3. Improves Skin Texture
Sometimes, dry, flaky, and rough skin is caused by our skin’s slow cellular turnover. When our skin takes a longer time to produce new cells, dead skin cells build-up which leads to dry patches, flaky skin, and clogged pores. To bring back the lost vibrancy, firmness, and elasticity of our skin, we can undergo microneedling.
Collagen induction therapy promotes collagen and elastin production. It encourages the skin to make new tissue, which will make the skin smoother and firmer.
Quick Tip: If you have dry, flaky patches on legs, knees, and elbows, consider applying Mayerling’s De-Ageing Body Treatment. This moisturising body lotion is formulated to make the skin smoother and even-toned. It contains ingredients especially effective for lightening pigmentation and for smoothing dry, scaly patches that can build up on the legs, knees, and elbows.
