The desire for smoother, younger-looking skin is universal. But with so many skin types and concerns, finding the right treatment can feel overwhelming.
At Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre, we understand that every individual’s skin is unique. That’s why we offer customized treatments to address the specific needs of different skin types.
One of our most effective and versatile treatments is the combination of Microneedling with Introfill HA Boost. This powerful duo can be tailored to suit a variety of skin concerns and types. It also ensures optimal results for everyone. Here’s how Microneedling and Introfill can be personalized to meet your unique skincare needs.
The most common challenges when tailoring microneedling and Introfill treatments for different skin types
Finding the Right Needle Depth: The depth of the microneedling needles needs to be precise. For oilier skin, a shallower depth is necessary to target pores and regulate oil production without overstimulating the glands. Conversely, deeper needles might be needed for dry skin to reach the layers where collagen and elastin production are stimulated for better hydration. Right balance is crucial for optimal results and minimizing side effects.
Balancing Hydration and Oil Production: For dry skin, the goal is to increase hydration with microneedling and Introfill. However, for oily skin, it’s important to avoid overstimulating oil production. A dermatologist will need to carefully assess the skin and choose the appropriate amount of Introfill to achieve a plumping effect without adding unwanted heaviness.
Managing Sensitivity: Sensitive skin can react poorly to microneedling or fillers. A dermatologist will need to adjust the treatment approach significantly. This might involve using the shallowest possible needle depth for microneedling and starting with minimal amounts of Introfill. Patch testing might also be recommended to ensure the skin tolerates the treatment before proceeding with the entire face.
Setting Realistic Expectations: Microneedling and Introfill are effective treatments, but they won’t erase all signs of aging or completely eliminate acne scars. A dermatologist will need to manage expectations for patients with mature or acne-prone skin, explaining that multiple sessions and potentially combined treatments might be necessary for optimal results.
Ensuring Proper Aftercare: Regardless of skin type, proper aftercare is very important for optimal results. However, it can be challenging for some patients to strictly adhere to sun protection guidelines or avoid harsh skincare products for the recommended period. Educating patients and providing clear aftercare instructions are essential for success.
How microneedling and Introfill treatments are generally tailored based on different skin types?
Oily Skin:
- Microneedling:
- Needle Depth: Shallower depth to target pores and regulate oil production without overstimulating oil glands.
- Number of Passes: May require fewer passes with the microneedling device compared to drier skin types.
- Introfill:
- Amount Used: Used sparingly and strategically to address specific areas of volume loss without adding unwanted heaviness.
- Focus: May prioritize areas with deeper wrinkles or indented scars over overall plumping.
Dry Skin:
- Microneedling:
- Needle Depth: Slightly deeper depth to reach the layers where collagen and elastin production are stimulated.
- Number of Passes: May require more passes compared to oilier skin to achieve optimal results.
- Introfill:
- Amount Used: Used more generously to deliver a significant boost of hydration.
- Focus: May prioritize overall plumping and hydration rather than targeting specific concerns.
Sensitive Skin:
- Microneedling:
- Needle Depth: The shallowest possible depth to minimize irritation.
- Number of Passes: Fewer passes with the device to reduce potential discomfort.
- Numbing Cream: Likely used liberally to further enhance comfort during the procedure.
- Introfill:
- Amount Used: Start with minimal amounts and gradually increase if tolerated.
- Patch Testing: May be recommended beforehand to ensure the skin doesn’t react negatively.
Mature Skin:
- Microneedling:
- Needle Depth: May require a range of depths depending on the specific concern. Deeper needles for wrinkles and shallower needles for evening texture.
- Number of Passes: More passes might be needed compared to younger skin to achieve optimal results.
- Introfill:
- Amount Used: May be used more generously to address volume loss and deeper wrinkles.
- Focus: Targets areas with wrinkles, sagging, and loss of volume for a more youthful appearance.
Acne-Prone Skin:
- Microneedling:
- Needle Depth: Very shallow depth or may not be recommended for active acne to avoid spreading breakouts.
- Number of Passes: Limited number of passes to minimize irritation.
- Introfill:
- Amount Used: May not be used at all if active acne is present. If scarring is the main concern, minimal amounts might be used after acne has cleared completely.
- Focus: Primarily targets acne scars after acne has been brought under control.
Important Note:
This is a general overview, and the specific adjustments will depend on the individual’s unique skin condition and the dermatologist’s expertise.
