Production of collagen decreases as you grow old. Your skin's elasticity is not what it used to be, and there are all these fine lines and wrinkles in addition to acne scars, stretch marks and hyperpigmentation that are flourishing right on your facial skin. All hope is not lost if you're suffering from these conditions along with other obvious cosmetic-type skin conditions. There is a new skin treatment called microneedling that's used with CosmoPen technology to reverse your aging signs and remove other negative skin conditions, which thereby leaves you with glowing skin.

How Does Microneedling Work?

With the use of a CosmoPen, microneedling creates literally thousands of minute channels in your skin that help induce collagen production. So just before you undergo the microneedling procedure, your surgeon places applications of topical products that are efficiently absorbed by your skin into the CosmoPen micro channels. When your skin begins to heal following the procedure, it does so optimally due to the induced collagen flow as well as your skin's ability to now accommodate a higher absorption of the topical skin care product that was applied in the micro channels.

Worth Of Over-The-Counter Topical Skin Care Products

You've probably used many skin care topical skin care products in the past without much success in clearing away skin flaws you have. The problem with those self-applied products is that your skin only absorbs a meager percentage of those products, and that could be about three or four percent of the application. On the contrary, microneedling that works conjointly with CosmoPen does permit your skin to efficiently absorb approximately 80 percent of the skin care product application.

This process results in the tighter skin and more youthful appearance you will note as healing is achieved. CosmoPen is also frequently used to treat problems you endure during the aging process as well as loss of hair on your head. It's always a good idea to find out from your cosmetic surgeon what the success rate is for your particular skin concern when microneedling is suggested for you.

Other Benefits You Gain From Microneedling

Microneedling is a natural and safe procedure. No chemical solutions or surgery to reverse the aging process are used. All you undergo is a collagen induction therapy procedure, which naturally induces your own collagen production. Your body simply self-repairs your collagen production with the aid of the CosmoPen device. Remember to ask your surgeon which CosmoPen model will be used for your surgery, since there is a newer device than the original roller-type device.
