Medical Microneedling

Medical microneedling is a procedure that can improve the skin’s tone and texture with the use of fine needles. In the state of Colorado, estheticians can only use devices that perforate under 0.3 to 0.5 mm, which can’t provide results that are comparable in visibility to medical microneedling which can penetrate up to 2.5 mm.  Longer needles create injury within the keratinocyte layer, or deeper dermal layers.  Cellular injury from longer needles initiates cascades of endogenous (our own)  cytokines that promote cellular proliferation and collagenesis (production of collagen). Injury into deeper layers also creates capillary bleeding that results in platelet growth factor and cytokine release that enhance certain aspects of the healing process.   At Bionuu in Littleton, we offer medical microneedling to repair damaged skin by increasing collagen and elastin in the skin. This procedure can address a range of common skin concerns, including:

• Acne
• Acne scarring
• Skin laxity
• Fine and deep wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Sun damage

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling works by stimulating the body’s natural “repair” response to injury. Fine needles are used to perforate the skin, causing damage that the skin will repair by increasing production of collagen and elastin. Medical microneedling involves deep needle perforations, so a topical anesthetic is required and there is some downtime after the procedure.

The new skin cells that are created in response to microneedling will replace the damaged skin cells for a smoother, more even complexion. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that’s suitable for all skin types and safe for healthy individuals.

When Will I See Results From Microneedling?

Medical microneedling is a procedure that stimulates collagen production, as are IPL, laser wrinkle reduction, and chemical peels. With these procedures, the best results are achieved with a series of treatments. Just as you can’t get a flat abdomen after going to the gym once, you can’t necessarily have perfect skin after just one microneedling treatment.

After one microneedling treatment, you will see immediate improvement in the tone and texture of your skin, but your body needs time to regenerate collagen at its own pace. So the most benefits to the skin can be seen at three to four weeks after treatment, and results will improve with each subsequent treatment.  Superficial microneedling can be repeated every few days or a week apart but  deeper treatment needs longer time to heal so treatments are recommended every  4 weeks.  A series of four to six medical dermal needle sessions (deep microneedling)  at monthly intervals can produce aesthetic changes that rival that of fractional CO2 laser resurfacing without the risks and downtime associated with the laser treatment.

AnteAGE MD Microneedling Products

As a certified AnteAGE MD provider, Bionuu is proud to offer patients innovative skincare products from AnteAGE to enhance the results of microneedling treatment. AnteAGE has developed a reputation for outstanding results through advanced skincare solutions developed by industry-leading researchers, scientists, and physicians. 

The key active ingredient in AnteAGE MD products is bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. These specialized stem cells have been scientifically shown to enhance healing in injured tissues,  they are a  source of topical growth factors and cytokines. The solution also contains recombinant TFG-β3 to further reduce inflammation.

AnteAGE MD Microneedling Solution

Microneedling treatment primes the skin for maximum absorption of skincare products. The AnteAGE MD Microneedling Solution contains cytokines, hyaluronic acid, and TGF-beta 3, all of which significantly lower inflammation and promote healing in the skin. When this solution is applied in microneedling treatment, the skin will more effectively absorb the ingredients for optimal results.  

AnteAGE MD Brightening Microneedling Solution 

The AnteAGE MD Brightening Microneedling Solution is ideal for patients seeking visible improvement to dull or uneven skin. In addition to cytokines, hyaluronic acid, and TGF-beta 3, the Brightening Microneedling Solution features tranexamic acid. This ingredient has proven to minimize undesired pigmentation in the skin, as well as prevent future pigmentation by acting as a UV-induced pigment inhibitor. 

Proven Results From AnteAGE MD

In a clinical study of AnteAGE, 100% of patients saw an improvement to the skin after using AnteAGE products. This study served to prove the effectiveness of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cytokines in skincare. Mesenchymal stem cells act as the “command and control” of the healing process, working to enhance regeneration and reversing skin injury. This allows for improvement in skin tone, texture, hydration, pore size, and brightness. 

Bionuu is thrilled to harness advanced skincare products from AnteAGE to boost the results of microneedling treatment at our clinic. Contact us today to learn if medical microneedling is right for you.
