What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a modern minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure performed with special thin sterile needles that create microchannels in the skin. The body responds with increased collagen and elastin production, the main proteins responsible for youthful, firm, and smooth skin. Simply put, this procedure stimulates the skin’s natural regeneration processes. After microneedling, active serums, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and other products penetrate the skin much deeper, enhancing the overall effect of the procedure.
Microneedling is recommended for:
- signs of skin aging;
- dry and dehydrated skin;
- fine and moderate wrinkles;
- loss of firmness;
- acne scars and other scarring;
- enlarged pores;
- uneven skin texture;
- dull skin tone and pigmentation.
At Renewed Medical Health and Beauty Med Spa, we perform microneedling using Exceed and InMode devices, premium systems designed for precise, controlled, and safe skin treatments. They are widely used in professional clinics around the world. The main feature of Exceed Microneedling is the high precision of the needles and their consistent performance, allowing the procedure to be effective while remaining as gentle on the skin as possible.
What types of Microneedling are available?
Today, there are two main types of microneedling, and each has its own characteristics:
- Classic mechanical microneedling. This is a procedure during which the device creates controlled micro-injuries without additional heating of the tissue. Exceed Microneedling belongs to this category as well. The advantages of the classic approach include natural collagen stimulation, a lower risk of tissue overheating, shorter recovery time, and gentler treatment of the skin. For many patients, this type becomes the optimal option because of the balance between effectiveness and comfort.
- RF microneedling. This is a more advanced technology in which microneedles are combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy. During the procedure, the tissues are additionally heated, providing a noticeable lifting effect. The INMODE system, including the Morpheus8 attachment, belongs to RF microneedling. These procedures are effective for significant loss of firmness, deeper wrinkles, loss of facial definition, age-related skin laxity, scars, and stretch marks.
Morpheus8 deserves special attention as one of the most well-known RF microneedling systems from INMODE. It works not only with the surface layers of the skin but also with deeper tissue structures, stimulating active collagen synthesis. The procedure is especially popular for skin tightening, facial contour correction, wrinkle reduction, and post-acne treatment.
The effectiveness of both main types depends on the condition of the skin and the desired result. Classic Exceed Microneedling is excellent for improving skin quality, preventing signs of aging, and restoring glow and texture. Meanwhile, RF microneedling is chosen by patients seeking more noticeable rejuvenation and lifting effects. At Renewed Medical Health and Beauty Med Spa, specialists individually select the appropriate technology after a consultation and skin assessment.
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling offers many important benefits when performed by the specialists at our Med Spa. Among the main advantages:
- Intensive natural skin rejuvenation. Microneedling activates the skin’s natural renewal mechanisms through active stimulation of collagen and elastin production. These components are responsible for skin firmness, smoothness, and a youthful appearance.
- Noticeable wrinkle reduction. After a series of treatments, the skin becomes firmer, more elastic, and smoother, making microneedling an excellent solution for those who want visible rejuvenation and an improved appearance.
- Effective treatment of acne scars and other scarring. The procedure stimulates tissue renewal and gradual smoothing of the skin texture. As a result, it helps reduce atrophic scars, make acne marks less noticeable, smooth imperfections, and improve overall skin texture.
- Pore tightening. This is especially important for patients with oily or combination skin. As a result, the skin looks smoother even without makeup.
- Gentle treatment. Microneedling is considered a procedure with controlled and gentle effects on the skin. Thanks to the precise performance of the original German Exceed device or the Israeli InMode system, the procedure is performed as carefully and comfortably as possible. It does not excessively heat the tissue and does not require complicated recovery.
- Versatility. Microneedling is suitable both for younger patients with problematic skin and acne scars, and for patients with age-related skin changes.
