What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses very tiny needles (hence the name) to stimulate vital healing responses in the skin. Different lengths of needles are used in different applications (i.e., acne scar treatment versus wrinkle reduction), but generally range from 0.25 to 3 millimeters.
As the treatment is applied, the needles penetrate the skin to create hundreds of tiny, controlled injuries. The skin will then respond by producing collagen and elastin. These are vital constituents of healthy skin, promoting its firmness and elasticity for a naturally youthful appearance. Best of all, after collagen and elastin move into the treated area, they mature and proliferate over time, allowing for a steady improvement following the treatment session. Microneedling is indicated for a range of aging-related skin concerns, including loose skin, stretch marks, fine lines, sun spots, and more.
The Anti-Aging Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are just as effective, if not more, for retirement-age populations than younger demographics. This is because the powerful exfoliating and healing effects of this treatment address various signs of aging, including wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, and more.
At Chetco Medical and Aesthetics of Brookings, OR, we offer specialized chemical peel treatments optimized for enhanced anti-aging benefits. Contact us today for a consultation, and we’ll work with you to set up a combined, comprehensive approach to anti-aging with microneedling treatment and chemical peels.
The Mighty Molecule: Hyaluronic Acid and Skin Health
Capable of absorbing roughly one thousand times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid is favored across the skin care and cosmetic surgery worlds for a reason. This impeccably absorbent molecule is vital for boosting and maintaining the skin’s elasticity and hydration. Since hyaluronic acid is already produced by the body, it is less likely to elicit an adverse reaction when infused into the skin.
A key causal factor in the formation of wrinkles is decreased hydration in the skin. Even people who practice effective skin care and overall wellness strategies will eventually have to deal with fine lines, as the skin’s production of hyaluronic acid, lipids (important fatty compounds), and other important components begins to steadily decline. Hence, infusing hyaluronic acid into the skin allows us to fill in wrinkles before they deepen, all while using your body’s natural mechanisms for maintaining and repairing the skin.
Anti-Aging Skin Care FAQ
How Do I Know Which Anti-Aging Treatment Is for Me?
Especially if you’ve never received any of these treatments before, we understand that the variety of options available for anti-aging purposes can be a bit daunting. But fear not, because our knowledgeable and experienced team at Chetco Medical and Aesthetics will keep you informed of your options as your case dictates.
First, we will meet with you in a consultation to take assessments and inspect the areas you would like to be treated. During this time, we will also carefully review your medical history, including current medication use, to ensure you’re eligible for treatment. We will also factor into account your goals, expectations, and preferences. Balancing all these factors will allow us to advise you accordingly.
How Can I Best Preserve My Results?
As for the short-term post-treatment scenario, your specific recommendations will vary depending on the treatment(s) you received, as well as individualized factors like your overall skin quality. But to provide a more generally applicable prescription as you carry on with your skin care routine well after treatment has concluded, standard best practices apply.
In other words, protecting your skin from sun exposure, keeping it as moisturized as possible, getting plenty of sleep, eating a well-balanced diet and staying hydrated will all help to preserve your results for as long as possible following your anti-aging treatment regimen. Follow-up appointments are also helpful, whether you wish to continue on the same track or incorporate additional or alternative treatments.
How Much Discomfort and Downtime Is Associated With Microneedling?
Most patients report mild to moderate discomfort at most when it comes to microneedling. Your skin’s sensitivity, the area(s) treated, needle size, and more can all impact what microneedling treatment feels like for you. Applying topical anesthetic prior to the treatment can help prevent any mild discomfort. As for downtime, there is no full downtime in the sense that you will be unable to participate in regular activities following treatment, but we will advise you on post-treatment care.
How Much Discomfort and Downtime Is Associated With Chemical Peels?
Like microneedling, chemical peels can vary in terms of how much discomfort, if any, you may experience. Some people report little to no sensation, while others report tingling and/or burning. Generally, any discomfort you experience will be resolved shortly after treatment.
