Is Microneedling Bad For Mature Skin?
As skin ages, it begins to produce less collagen and other proteins vital to keeping it supple and healthy. Therefore, it tends to become thinner and sometimes takes on a crepe like appearance and texture. When considering various treatments for mature skin, many believe that microneedling is bad for it because it penetrates into the skin. Since older folks tend to have thinner skin, it is understandable where this misconception comes from. Let’s dive more into the question, “Is microneedling bad for mature skin?”
To answer the question, no, microneedling is not bad for mature skin. In fact, another name for microneedling is “collagen induction therapy”. It gets this name because it causes the body to produce more collagen. For older patients whose skin no longer produces as much collagen, this can actually improve the appearance of thinning, wrinkled skin. It may even help naturally thicken the skin.
Now, there are certain cases where microneedling may not be suitable for mature skin. If your skin is particularly lax or saggy, you may require a procedure such as a facelift first. However, after these procedures, microneedling can maintain skin quality, reduce scarring, and often improve the look of your results.
