Microneedling and Introfill A Non-Surgical Approach to Facial Contouring

September 1, 2024

Forget chiseled cheekbones and snatched jawlines achieved under the harsh lights of an operating room. Microneedling and Introfill offer a revolutionary, non-surgical approach to facial contouring, sculpting your natural beauty. It does not have the risks associated with traditional surgery.

At Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre, we provide the most effective, non-invasive treatments to help our clients achieve their desired aesthetic goals. One of our standout combinations is Microneedling with Introfill HA Boost, which offers a non-surgical approach to facial contouring.

This dynamic duo not only rejuvenates the skin but also enhances facial contours, giving you a more defined, youthful appearance. Here’s an in-depth look at how these treatments work together to sculpt and contour your face.

Understanding Microneedling

Imagine your skin is like a trampoline park. Over time, the trampolines (your skin) might lose their bounce (firmness) and get a few wrinkles (fine lines). Microneedling is like giving the trampolines tiny jumpstarts to help them tighten up!

These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, leading to increased collagen and elastin production.

How Microneedling Works:

  1. Micro-Injuries: The microneedling device creates tiny punctures in the epidermis (outer layer) and the upper dermis (second layer) of the skin.
  2. Healing Response: These controlled injuries activate the body’s wound-healing response, which involves three phases: inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.
  3. Collagen and Elastin Production: As your skin repairs itself, it also ramps up production of collagen and elastin. These are like the building blocks for a strong, bouncy trampoline (your skin). More collagen and elastin mean smoother, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles!
  4. Skin Renewal: The tiny pricks from microneedling act like a gentle scrub, helping to remove some of those old, dead skin cells on the surface. This makes way for new, fresh skin cells to come to the forefront. They also trigger the production of new skin cells. This is like your body hitting the “refresh” button on your skin’s news feed, bringing new, healthy cells to the surface.

Key Benefits of Microneedling:

  • Enhances skin texture and tone
  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Minimizes the appearance of scars
  • Decreases pore size
  • Promotes overall skin firmness and elasticity

What is Introfill HA Boost?

Introfill HA Boost is an advanced skin treatment that combines microneedling with the infusion of hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin, providing essential hydration and volume.

How Introfill HA Boost Works:

  1. Hyaluronic Acid Infusion: Using a multi-needle system, the Introfill device delivers HA directly into the dermis.
  2. Deep Hydration: HA binds to water molecules, significantly enhancing the skin’s hydration levels.
  3. Plumping Effect: The increased hydration plumps up the skin, smoothing out fine lines and providing a youthful, radiant appearance.
  4. Enhanced Skin Health: HA supports the skin’s barrier function, helping to keep it resilient and healthy.

Key Benefits of Introfill HA Boost:

  • Deeply hydrates the skin
  • Plumps and firms the skin
  • Smooths out fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enhances overall skin health
  • Provides a radiant and youthful glow

The Synergy of Microneedling and Introfill HA Boost for Facial Contouring

Combining Microneedling with Introfill HA Boost results in a powerful synergy that maximizes the benefits This combination not only improves skin texture and hydration but also helps in subtle facial contouring, giving your face a more sculpted and defined look.

The Science Behind the Combination:

  1. Micro-Channels for Better Absorption: The tiny punctures created by microneedling act as micro-channels that facilitate the deeper and more efficient delivery of HA into the skin.
  2. Enhanced Collagen Production: The wound-healing response from microneedling boosts collagen production and enhances the skin’s ability to utilize the infused HA effectively.
  3. Facial Contouring: The HA infusion plumps and firms the skin, which can subtly enhance facial contours, creating a more lifted and sculpted appearance.

Comprehensive Benefits:

  • Boosts collagen and elastin production
  • Provides deep and lasting hydration
  • Improves skin texture, firmness, and elasticity
