Skin Care Used with Microneedling

Aging of the skin is undesirable and occurs with time due to both natural (intrinsic) and environmental (extrinsic) factors. Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure gaining popularity as it has been clinically shown to address both intrinsic and extrinsic skin aging. This cosmetic procedure is minimally invasive and utilizes fine needles to puncture the skin, creating microwounds, which induces the release of growth factors and induction of collagen and elastin production. The combination of the antiaging facial moisturizer and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling was comfortable for the patients and patients were satisfied. Another study was done to assess the safety and efficacy of two topical tri- and hexapeptide-containing products pre- and posttreatment with RF microneedling of the photoaged neck with respect to healing and aesthetic outcomes. Skin needling provides a clear channel for topical agents to be absorbed more effectively through the top layer of the skin, such as the platelet-rich plasma.
