Sometimes microneedling works best as a treatment for serious acne and scarring. Although it’s more advanced than other treatments, it’s actually relatively simple! The procedure uses very fine needles to puncture the skin in a problem area. The tiny micro injuries that occur induce the production of collagen and elastin in the area, which helps to heal the injuries and renew the skin in the area. The result is healthier, revitalized skin and a plumper, glowing look patients will notice very quickly after the procedure. The increase in collagen production can actually last for months, allowing for continual benefits. Additionally, because the procedure creates new channels in the skin, skincare products will be able to penetrate the skin more easily and effectively. Here at Victoria Plastic Surgery Center, for our microneedling procedures we use the Vivace Fractional Micro Needle RF tool that provides patients with an excellent experience, immediate results, and no downtime. Patients with scarring, acne, and other skin issues will very quickly notice dramatic results too!
