When we’re younger, the skin is naturally firm, smooth, and resilient thanks to abundant collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid working together to create structure, elasticity, and hydration. Collagen gives the skin its strength and support, while elastin keeps it flexible and able to bounce back from movement and expression. Over time, these proteins gradually break down, and the skin is slower to repair itself, making fine lines, texture changes, and signs of aging more noticeable.
If you’ve begun to see changes in your skin’s firmness, radiance, or ability to recover the way it once did, microneedling may be an ideal treatment to restore a more youthful appearance. As you consider whether this treatment is a good fit, reflect on how your skin looks and feels today and what improvements you hope to achieve.
