Microneedling

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a method of naturally regenerating skin cells. The microneedling is an extremely effective méthode for combating signs of aging such as relâchement cutané or wrinkles, as well as imperfections and pigmentation spots. 

The first uses of microneedling date back to antiquity, as the technique was already used in traditional Chinese medicine.At the time, microneedling was not only prized for its results on wrinkles and scars, but was also said by the Chinese to have general health benefits.

Microneedling has been used for over a century in China, where it has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine.

It's also possible to practice microneedling à la maison with a dermaroller équipé de microaiguilles. The needles penetrate less deeply into the skin because they are shorter, and it is more difficult to reach certain areas such as the wings of the nose.

The results will be seen over the long term, after several months of use. 

How microneedling works

Microneedling is doubly effective: 

• It stimulates the cellular régénération, and therefore boosts the production of collagène and élastine.
• It increases the absorption rate of active ingredients contained in the serums used during drying. These active ingredients penetrate the skin 200 times more than if they were applied with the fingers.

Concrètement: grâce à un stylo équipute; de plusieurs micro-needles, l'esthéticienne créé de multiples micro-perforations sur l'épiderme, qui aura un effet sur de nombreux problèmesèmes de peau. 

It’s a non-invasive, painless technique, with no side effects. The skin is not expected to bleed, and micro-injuries are invisible to the naked eye. Microneedling causes no damage to the skin surface.2

With which products should microneedling be used?

Thanks to the microchannels created by the needles,the skin absorbs the active ingredients, which penetrate deep into the skin. The microneedling technique will therefore be even more effective if the esthetician uses a good sérum!

At celestetic, the C-EM range has been specially designed to work with both lectroporation and microneedling. They are highly dosed in hyaluronic acid, the molecule that contains 1,000 times its weight in water. A star of cosmetology, hyaluronic acid restores skin's smooth, plump appearance, fills wrinkles and erases fine lines caused by dehydration.
Each product has its own formula to address a specific problem. The esthetician can use the zoning method, or mapping, and use a different sérum depending on the area of the face, to act even more precisely. 

Why do microneedling sequences? What are the indications?

Microneedling can be used for a multitude of indications. There's no "one size fits all", as microneedling is not only useful for wrinkles or skin slackening, but also for stretch marks, blemishes or dilated pores.

Microneedling is also used for the treatment of skin blemishes.

As is often the case with aesthetic techniques, the sensation experienced depends on individual sensitivity. Microneedling is sometimes described as "uncomfortable", since the needles cause a slight tingling sensation all over the skin. If the pain is unbearable, it means the esthetician is going too hard!
