AHA that is below 10% can be effective at exfoliating skin and reducing fine lines, preventing acne, fading dark spots, increasing skin thickness, and evening out skin tone and texture. Another acid the salicylic acid or Beta Hydroxy Acid is used in peels for treating acne and pigmentation, sometimes in tandem with microdermabrasion or micro needling.

With the latest technology, the needles are energized with radiofrequency to help stimulate collagen in the skin. By promoting collagen growth, microneedling can help reverse signs of aging like fine lines, fade acne scars, and make skin look refreshed. The skin responds by filling the wounds with collagen and elastin, which are natural proteins that can effectively strengthen and reduce the appearance of scarring. The microneedling rejuvenation technique breaks up old scar tissue so that new tissue can generate. The needles are automated and their puncture depth can be adjusted to your particular needs, creating a more personalized treatment that can make your skin look as natural as possible.

All these aging signs are majorly caused by the breakdown of cellular and extracellular components, or a reduction in the rate of key metabolic processes over time. So, the key thing to do to reverse the signs is by stimulating collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production in the dermal layer coupled with strong structural proteins and a strengthened natural lipid barrier function. It is also important to put a stop to processes happening intrinsically like inflammation, over-stimulation of pigment, and protein crosslinking by sugars, and to inhibit an over-production of enzymes and other agents that break down healthy skin compounds.
