The Most Powerful Skin Anti-Aging Technique You Can Do At Home

there are many things you can do to slow down wrinkles such as taking collagen peptides eating a healthy diet and getting enough sleep but none of them increase collagen synthesis by 400% I'm talking about Micron needling which has been seen to increase collagen and elastin in the skin by 400% after 6 months as shown by this 2022 review in this video I'm going to talk about the science behind Micron needling and why it just might be the most effective way to slow down skin aging make sure you watch until the end where I tell you how to do Micron needing correctly because there are some pitfalls that you can fall into first let's talk about what is micr needing in the first place Micron needling is a Dermatological technique that causes microt trauma to the skin with small needles on a dermar rolling device that then triggers Collen synthesis and skin repair Micron reading can be done with a dermar roller which is this rolling device with mini needles on top or with a Derma pen which is like a pen that shoots the mini needles into the skin to be honest when I first heard about Micron needling then I was quite skeptical I thought no way this can be real but then I read through the clinical studies done on dermar rolling and I also tried it out myself and I must say that the effects are quite amazing in this 2018 study they took 40 people between the ages of 33 and 60 with age skin from either smoking or general aging they gave them a dermapen treatment for six sessions the results showed a statistical Improvement in skin wrinkles fine lines and crow's feet the results were seen in both men and women and in both smokers and non-smokers like I alluded to Micron needling can increase collagen synthesis in the skin by 400% I think as you know collagen is the main protein inside a human body especially in the skin and you need collagen to maintain skin firmness however this 2014 study found that Micron needing once a week for 4 weeks increased epidermal thickness by 658 per. that's massive and pretty much unheard of when it comes to anti-aging supplements or something else like that not only does Micron needling reduce wrinkles but it also reduces pigmentation of the skin and improves Aesthetics Micron needling for 60 days has been seen to improve pigmentation disorders the Micron needling lightens skin stains in patients with melasma this has an obvious aesthetic effect making the skin look younger and less photo damaged there's also acne and skin scarring Micron needling has been seen to improve skin scars including acne by increasing the production of collagen elastin and increasing the thickness of the skin in this 2015 prospective clinical trial they took 10 patients with different acne scars and gave them six Micron needing treatments over the span of 3 months the patients collectively reported a 51 to 60% Improvement in scar appearance 40 to 50% Improvement in skin texture and 80 to 85% overall satisfaction as you can see from left to right the participants saw some improvements in their acne scarring with some seeing more results than others in another 2014 clinical trial they combined subcision Micron needling and 15% TCA peeling to 50 patients with atrophic acne scar alternatively at two week intervals for a total of six sessions of each out of 16 patients with great four scars 62.5% of the patients improved to grade two and 37.5% improved to grade three scars out of 22 patients with grade three scars 22.7% were left with no scars 99.1% patients improved grade 1 and 68.2% of patients improved to grade two all patients with grade two scars were left with no scars and overall the level of patient satisfaction was very high in this study these are some quite amazing transformation photos I've never had acne or any serious skin scar so I don't know if it actually works for my own experience however I do have like a mini scar right between my eyebrows that you can see sometimes that happened from a branch that hit me right between the eyebrows luckily and there is like a mini scar I have seen some improvement when I'm doing dermar rolling so you dermar roll this scar here and um you know the scar has gotten slightly smaller over the course of a few months Micron needling was first introduced in the '90s to treat scars but it's also been used to deliver drugs to the skin as well as enhance the bi availability of some active ingredients like peptides vitamin C collagen and retinoids the idea is that microsized needles can pass through the outer layers of the skin which creates microchannels that enable these compounds to get deeper into the skin and have more effects that's why when it comes to skin rejuvenation Micron needing has better effects if you combine it with some other compounds in this 2018 split phase comparative study they took 24 volunteers with photoage skin and randomly divided them into three groups number one dermar rolling Alone number two dermar rolling plus platelet rich plasma PRP and number three dermar rolling plus TCA 15% peeling both sides of their face were divided randomly into the interventions meaning that the person's right side could have gotten either dermar rolling alone and their left side could have gotten dermar rolling plus PRP or dermar rolling plus TCA link so you have a comparison of the one single individual they received one session every two weeks for six sessions in total the results show that combined treatment of dermar rolling and PRP or TCA peeling was more effective in increasing skin thickness and reducing wrinkles than dermar rolling alone dermar rolling alone did improve the outcomes but the results were better when germal warning was combined with PRP or TCA peeling out of PRP and TCA appealing The PRP with dermar rolling appear to be the best Micron needing also appears to help hair growth through similar mechanisms the micr needles damage the skin slightly which then triggers collagen synthesis now you're not going to go from bald to Musafa but you will see the growth of some small hairs in this 2013 pilot study they gave one group 5% minoxidil twice a day and the second group minoxidil together with weekly Micron needling as you can see from the pictures the group getting minoxidil alone did see some minor improvements in hair growth but the Micron needing plus minoxidil group saw much more results another another 2015 study took four men with hair loss who were taking finasteride as well as minoxidil for 2 to 5 years already but they saw no new hair growth they were then put on micing for 6 months all four patients showed plus two to up to plus three improvements on a seven-point scale and the new hair started showing after 8 to 10 sessions again those are quite amazing results we don't have that many other Clinic trials on the effects of dermar rolling on hair growth but anecdotally some people do say that it does work the reason Micron needling works better with Minoxidil than minoxidil alone or dermarolling alone is because dermar rolling opens up these channels inside a scalp inside a skin that then enables minoxidil to go deeper into the scalp so microing itself is a tool that triggers collagen synthesis but it also enables other tools other ingredients to work better I want to take a quick break to let you know about my favorite Wellness devices which are the bond charge red light therapy devices you've probably seen many of your favorite ler influencers using these red light therapy devices but do they actually work yes they do red light therapy has been shown to have many benefits on skin anti-aging hormone optimization pain management and even exercise performance I use my device every day for 15 minutes especially during the winter months when there's not much sunlight it increases my energy in the morning and makes my skin glow just check out the testimonials on the bond charge website for the before and after pictures of other people most ra therap isers don't have the right wavelength of Light which might mean you're not getting the claimed benefits B charge uses the exact wavelengths of light used in research and they also have near infrared light that's beneficial to the joints head over to bch charge.com and use the code seam SIM for a 15% discount all right so now let's talk about the dos and don'ts of Micron reading some easy mistakes you can make because there are indeed a few mistakes that you could make first of all Micron needling is considered generally safe and it is FDA approved for certain Dermatological applications however microing can sometimes cause skin irritation bruising itching gradness or rashes I've done microing once a week for about a year now and I've never had any issues with it I've never had any irritation or skin rashes or anything like that but it could happen for some people who have a much more sensitive skin second of all you need to clean your dermar roller or whatever device you're using the needles are going to pick up all the dirt and dead skin cells so you don't want to dermar roll your face with dirty needles for that after every time I dermar roll I Put the Needle into a glass with isopropyl alcohol 70% solution to kill the bacteria I keep it there for 5 minutes and let it dry off before I put the dermar roller back into the box before you start doing dermar rolling you should also wash your face with warm water and if you have some sort of a face cleanser or non-irritating soap then you can wash your face with that as well you don't want the needles to open up the skin and let the dirt and sweat go into the skin because it can cause some inflammation and infections third you might wonder which kind of a dermar Rola should you use well there's obviously a lot of them out there there's different types of dermal rollers with different types of length of the needles the dermal roller that I've been using most consistently is the Alura Derm rer its length is 1 mm of the needle length which is kind of effective length alas dermal rers also have the needle that looks more like a spike rather than a needle as this one which I think is um G Ember that's more of like a needle as opposed to a spike some people say that the needle is better than the spike but personally I've used both I don't notice much difference I'm going to leave a table here on the screen that outlines FDA approved Micron needing devices if you want to try out any of these however buying a regular cheap dermar roller from Amazon should also get the job done so what is the optimal length of the dermal roller for treating acne scars they use longer needles with a length of 1.5 to 2 mm which are twice as long as the needles you'd use for treating aging skin for regular skin anti-aging a micro needle length of 0.5 to 1 mm is recommended and that's what I've been using some parts of the face are also more sensitive like under eyes which is where you want to use shorter needles of about 0.25 mm for hair however you need slightly longer needles of at least 1 mm up to 1.5 or 2 mm it might also be a good idea to start with shorter needles to build your skin tolerance because if you haven't done it before then your skin might be much more sensitive towards the needles but after a while when your skin becomes thicker once the collagen synthesis has begun then you'll be able to tolerate a little bit longer needles if you want to get more effects then yes you do want to eventually gravitate more towards 0.5 up to 1 mm of the needle length the 0.25 eventually isn't going to work it's not going to be stimulating enough for the skin however going for longer needles like 2 mm or 3 mm I think most people don't really need to and unless you have acne scars or some other skin conditions then you don't really need to have these super long needles and they can actually be more harmful and lastly how do you actually do the dermar rink well first of all you don't want to press too hard there's no reason to like really push against the skin because that's going to cause unnecessary damage so you're what just doing is like R rolling it over your face and what I like to do is do obviously you cover the entire face do like a clock word um motions you do one two three one two 3 one two 3 uh one two three so you're kind of you don't you don't need to like roll it like some sort of a car toy or something like that you're trying to obviously give every spot the equal amount of Strokes or equal amount of rolls so like 1 2 3 1 2 3 one two 3 uh 1 two 3 kind of like that that's how I do it I think that's a pretty reasonable way to go about it and you don't need to press super hard again if it's too hard too much irritation then it can cause more damage than necessary so you just easily rolling it over the skin without like actually pushing against it the needles themselves do the work you don't need to push extra how often should you do dermar ring well I've been doing it once a week I think that's a pretty good frequency for most people doing it every day is obviously not not going to be that beneficial your skin needs time to recover is the same as with lifting weights you know you don't need to lift weights every day you don't want to do weightlifting every day you're just once a week in the evening you do it and that stimulates the collagen synthesis for the rest of the week and enables the skin to actually recover and actually get you know stronger in the sense remember dmar rolling is causing microt trauma to the skin that then triggers the rejuvination process for your skin to heal and recover you need to give it several days of no damage once a week is good enough the best time to do Derm rolling is in the evening because then you're not going to go outside into air pollution or sunlight that would start damaging the skin or causing infections do it 1 hour before bed after washing your face and go to bed it would be best if you use some natural pillowcases like cotton or silk pillowcases because they're much more beneficial to your skin than polyester and artificial pillowcases you could also apply some serums or hyaluronic acid you could also apply some serums or hyaluronic acid cream after the dermarolling because as you saw from the studies dermarolling works better if you combine it with some other treatments and the needles enable the skincare ingredients to reach deeper into the skin now I wouldn't recommend using some sort of fat or oil-based skincare supplements because you know the oil tends to clog up your skin pores doesn't let your skin breede that well so if you do micro needling you have these micr channels inside your skin opened up then clogging it up with some fats or oil is not really a good way to go about it however if you have some water-based serums those are much better because they actually absorb into the skin when it comes to red light therapy then I found that doing it immediately after Micron needing is quite effective however there is the argument that red light therapy also works through causing minor skin damage that then triggers collagen synthesis so I don't think it's the best idea to do red light therapy immediately after Micron healing instead do rad light therapy the day after because then your skin has already healed slightly and then the rad light therapy can provide additional healing effects so you can recover faster and to support a recovery every day it's still recommended to eat the health the diet and take collagen peptides as a supplement because they've been shown to improve skin aging by supporting collagen synthesis so there you have it based on the research out there then Micron healing is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate the skin and have skin anti-aging benefits it's relatively safe relatively easy to do and you don't need to sacrifice that much time for it it takes me less than 5 minutes to dermar roll my face once a week if you want to know about the most evidence-based skin anti-aging supplements then check out this video next other than that thanks for
