If you are unsatisfied with the appearance of your face due to hyperpigmentation, you are not alone. Getting older can really take a toll on your skin. Once you have reached your forties, you are probably noticing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, poor skin texture and hyperpigmentation or age spots. These unwelcome skin changes often leave people looking older than they feel. This can even lead to other problems like anxiety, depression and difficulties in relationships or work.
It is a fact of life that we are all judged based upon our looks. Someone who looks older may be viewed as lacking enough energy to justify a particular job. Looking older can harm your self-esteem and other aspects of your life. Fortunately, there are a wide range of options available to help enhance the appearance of your skin. One such option is microneedling.
What is Microneedling?
Although many older people would like to do something about their hyperpigmentation, they may not want to go the cosmetic surgery route. Although cosmetic surgery does offer dramatic results, some people regard it as too risky and expensive. Surgery also tends to require significant downtime, and some people view the results as appearing unnatural.
Microneedling offers a minimally-invasive method of skin rejuvenation that is relatively inexpensive and safe. As an added benefit, it requires little to no downtime. That is why so many people are turning to this proven method of skin enhancement.
The treatment involves passing a device coated in tiny sterile micro-needles over your skin. Each tiny opening, while practically invisible to the naked eye, triggers your own body into depositing fresh collagen and elastin into the area. This will eventually result in skin that appears more youthful and smooth, displaying fewer signs of hyperpigmentation.
Following Your Microneedling Treatment
In the days and weeks after your treatment session, your body will respond to the tiny openings made in your skin by turning over old skin in favor of fresher, more youthful skin. The process is gradual, but you should begin to notice that lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation will improve. You can also further increase your results by having multiple treatments. Just keep in mind that you must space your treatments several weeks apart to give your skin time to heal properly.
