How dermal needling treatment in Rockville works
Advances in dermatological technology have brought about changes in treatments that lead to less invasive therapies and more predictable results. One such treatment that is considered extremely safe and effective is dermal needling. This form of skin-improving treatment is only minimally invasive and is non-ablative. Essentially, dermal needling is the process of gently, precisely, creating tiny “injuries” to the skin, an act that sets off a rejuvenating response.
The controlled micro-wounds that occur from the tiny needles of the microneedling device trigger the production of elastin and collagen into the dermis. New capillaries are also formed in the healing process. With the surge of new cells and substances, the skin gains improved texture, greater hydration, and more firmness. Dermal needling is also used in the treatment of scars.
Some of the issues that may be improved with dermal needling include:
- Scars, including hypertrophic types
- Stretch marks, which may fade with dermal needling
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Poor pigmentation, such as melasma
- Sagging skin
