Revitalize Dull Skin with Micro-Needling

It is not uncommon for individuals to notice their skin becoming naturally duller as they age. The appearance of dull skin is not always represented by wrinkles or fine lines that appear on the surface. Some skin simply looks dry and lifeless. If you would describe your skin as dull, our team at Bella Tu Med Spa has a great solution for you. You can revitalize dull skin with a treatment known as micro-needling.

If this is your first time hearing about micro-needling, you likely are wondering about what the treatment actually involves. The name may seem a little intimidating, but do not let that discourage you from all the potential benefits it can provide you. This is actually an extremely effective treatment that does not commonly cause discomfort.

Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a treatment that utilizes a pen-shaped device. This device is designed to make very small micro-punctures that create channels in the skin, triggering the skin to naturally produce collagen and elastin. This is done through sending more collagen and other beneficial substances to areas that have been punctured.

The skin is wonderful at stopping potentially harmful debris from entering its surface. There is constant pressure on the skin that comes from the environment around it. Unfortunately, it also stops even beneficial things from entering like serums, lotions, and other treatments that you may use. However, when the micro-needling treatment is done, and special serums or other beneficial treatments are applied, they are now able to more effectively pass through the protective layer of skin. This helps to revitalize and moisturize at an even deeper level.

Some individuals have the idea that they need to keep applying moisturizer to their skin. While moisturizers are definitely beneficial, if your skin is never exfoliated or cleansed in the right way, and a lot of moisturizers are applied, this can lead to dull-looking skin or even breakouts. Micro-needling is the perfect option to treat this problem. Micro-needling is also beneficial for treating other skin conditions, such as mild to moderate acne scars, new or old scars, stretch marks, and irregular pore size. After receiving micro-needling treatments, most patients notice within a week or two that their skin appears more radiant and youthful.

If you are suffering from any of the skin conditions listed, or are simply interested in rejuvenating the appearance of your skin, the professionals here at Bella Tu Med Spa in Goshen or Nyack, NY, would be happy to explore your specific micro-needling options with you.

Restore Your Hair’s Natural Growth with Micro-Needling and PRP

There has been a shift in the way society as a whole views hair loss. There was a time when if a man lost his hair, it was the end of the world. Their social life was over, they had a drastic reduction in their chances of finding a potential mate and the way they were treated in the workplace was drastically different.

Now, there are a lot of famous, powerful and successful individuals who have gone through male pattern baldness. Losing their hair has not been a detriment.

Unfortunately, this is not the case for every single man out there. For some men, losing their hair is still a blow not only to their appearance, but also to their confidence and self-esteem.

Microneedling with PRP hair growth, or platelet-rich plasma, has benefited these men (and women) in their fight to retain and regrow hair.

What is Micro-Needling?

Hair microneedling is a relative newcomer to the world of scalp treatment. It utilizes a device that increases the penetration of topical treatment and has been shown to improve hair growth.

The device that is used can be described as a cylindrical barrel that is covered in stainless steel micro-needles. These needles have been specially engineered to achieve the desired results. The needles share a lot of similarities to the needles that are used by acupuncturists.

The micro-needles are designed to penetrate the top layer of the scalp of the patient, while at the same time not causing any damage. The penetration by these needles allows the scalp to absorb a larger quantity of the topical treatments that men use to prevent hair loss and regrow hair.

Research has shown that when a man pre-treats his head using micro-needles, his scalp’s ability to absorb the topical treatment he is using increases. Some research has also shown that the micro-needling process itself stimulates the scalp and leads to hair growth.

How Does Micro-Needling Work with PRP?

To understand how Microneedling hair works with PRP, one must first have a basic understanding of how the skin on the scalp is composed.

The skin on the scalp is divided into multiple layers. The exterior layer is called the stratum corneum. This layer of skin is comprised primarily of dead skin cells, oils and a protein known as keratin.

The purpose of this exterior layer of skin is to protect the inside of the body from any microbes that would want to pass through the scalp. It is very effective in accomplishing this task.

For this reason, when an individual applies topical hair growth treatment, only a small fraction of the active ingredient can pass through the scalp and into the body.

Microneedling scalp creates small, quick-healing channels in the scalp that allow topical treatments to effectively penetrate the skin and have the best result.

In this case, the platelet-rich plasma taken from your skin cells can penetrate more deeply into the skin, thus increasing hair restoration abilities.

The PRP effectively stimulates a new blood supply and provides proper nutrients to deprived hair follicles. This ultimately encourages renewed hair growth.

For some individuals, losing their hair is no big deal. They have a nicely shaped head and feel just as confident and attractive with hair as they do without.

However, for individuals who are concerned about hair loss, Microneedling with PRP hair growth can go a long way in helping them retain and regrow lost hair.

At Bella Tu Med Spa in Nyack and Goshen, we often combine micro-needling with PRP to ensure the best possible results for our patients. Contact our office today to schedule your appointment and begin your journey to a fuller head of hair.

Rejuvenate Dull Skin with Micro-Needling

Dull skin seems to be one of those unavoidable side effects of aging. Skin loses that smooth and shiny appearance that youth once brought it.

The good news is that rejuvenating your skin is possible, pain-free, and easy. There are options that make this possible without forcing you to undergo a surgical procedure or deal with the side effects that accompany surgeries.

Micro-needling is one of the more advanced ways to rejuvenate skin. It represents the next step in keeping skin healthy, and clear without requiring invasive treatments that could harm your skin.

What is Micro-Needling?

To understand how micro-needling works, you first have to understand that there are several layers to your skin. These provide everything from color to form.

The top and middle layers tend to provide the look your skin gives. The dulling of your skin often coincides with imperfections and damage that reside within the epidermis and dermis layers.

Micro-needling utilizes incredibly fine needles to penetrate these layers of the skin. This leaves the top layer of your skin, the epidermis, intact while fostering the growth of new collagen and elastin.

Clogged pores, acne scars, and other imperfections can be treated through micro-needling.

Why Does It Rejuvenate Skin?

Micro-needling works by utilizing an incredibly selective and gentle approach to the controlled destruction of old cells within your skin. Once those old cells are gone, your skin becomes clearer as your skin repairs and rebuilds itself.

This happens without the need for damage to the epidermis or the hypodermis layers. Micro-needling does not cause scars, which is why it is one of the most preferable way to rejuvenate your skin.

What Benefits Does Micro-Needling Have?

There are numerous benefits unique to micro needling. The way it resurfaces the skin allows it to bring you benefits such as:

Dramatically clearer skin.
Better results from creams, lotions and skin supplements due to enhanced penetration.
Non-allergenic, non-invasive, non-surgical skin resurfacing.
The ability to be used on all types of skin, which includes ethnic skin.

Can Micro-Needling Be Combined With Other Treatments?

One of the biggest advantages of micro-needling is its ability to be combined with other treatments. This can allow your skin to look smooth, shiny, and as beautiful as it should look.

Micro-needling can be combined with topical treatments to enhance the results they bring. Things like chemical peels, nutritional creams and facials bring markedly better results due to the enhanced ability of these chemicals to penetrate deeper into the skin.

The best part is that micro-needling can lessen some of the unwanted side effects of these treatments while shortening the duration of others. The flaking associated with chemical peels, for example, may be expedited by the use of micro-needling.

It is worth noting that not all treatments are compatible with micro-needling. You should always consult with an experienced dermatological care provider before trying to combine two or more dermatological treatments to reduce the risk of complications.

At Bella Tu Med Spa, we have extensive experience helping patients with their skin care needs. If you’re looking to rejuvenate your skin, this may be the procedure for you. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with us in Goshen or Nyack.
