How Does Microneedling Improve Acne & Scars

Patients who come to a medical spa in Toronto for a PRP microneedling treatment can see many benefits from their sessions. Generally intended to boost collagen production, a microneedling treatment actually enables a variety of long term skin benefits very quickly. Some patients at NU Youth Medispa report that they start to see benefits between one week to three weeks of their session. 

One of the many reasons PRP microneedling in Toronto is becoming so popular is its effects on acne scarring, pores, and other textural issues. Many people have suffered from acne in one form or another, feeling a decline in their confidence and self worth. Microblading treatments are a great way to reverse acne related damage to help people love the skin they’re in. 

What Causes Acne? 

To understand how your local medical spa in Toronto can help mitigate the damaging effects of acne, it helps to first determine what chronic acne does to your skin. Acne is caused by sebum which exists naturally on your skin for moisture or hydration, when there is an excess it results in clogged pores, follicles, and skin irritation. When bacteria gets into the mix scars and lesions can occur. The results of acne can be any or all of the following: uneven skin tone, texture, enlarged pores, and scars. 

How Does Microneedling Solve Acne? 

When you book a session for microneedling at a trusted medical spa in Toronto, like NU Youth Medispa, skilled technicians use a speciality microneedling device on the treatment area to create microchannels. These superficial but strategic punctures encourage your body’s collagen response, essentially enhancing repair in the treatment area. The increased collagen production as a result of PRP microneedling in Toronto will in turn result in faster and improved cell turnover, ultimately reducing the look of scars. 

If you still suffer from acne, not just acne scars, professional microneedling services at NU Youth Medispa can be beneficial for you too. The sterilized needles puncture the uppermost layer of the skin - the epidermis - targeting any black heads and acne. Microneedling for acne will help reduce the chance for breakouts following your session. 

Skin Care and Microneedling Treatments 

Skin care serums, cleansers, essences, and toners can all help extend the results of your microneedling session. In fact microneedling treatments are known for their ability to enhance the results of topical skin care. But, before applying anything directly to your skin after your visit to NU Youth Medispa, consult with the technicians to avoid any irritation. 

Other Benefits of Microneedling in Toronto 

While acne and scar reduction is a big benefit of microneedling, there are many other advantages of using the collagen-boosting skin treatment. Microneedling helps to reduce signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. It even shrinks pores, reduces stretch marks, reduces sun damage and helps with rosacea.
