Let’s be real, most people have been affected by acne at some point in their life…if you haven’t you are a unicorn… and we are jealous. For us unlucky ones, chances are we have a scar or two (maybe even more) left behind long after the acne faded away. Acne scars can be a persistent reminder of past skin troubles, affecting one's confidence and self-esteem. Lucky for us advancements in skincare treatments have introduced effective solutions, with microneedling emerging as a popular and promising technique.
Microneedling is a great way to jump-start the skin’s repair process, creating youthful and vibrant skin. The treatment involves creating tiny controlled “wounds” to the skin. These wounds are minuscule and only skin-deep, but your body responds with alarm, sending in healing factors that boost skin strength, radiance, and health.
The effectiveness of microneedling lies in its ability to trigger the production of collagen, a protein crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As the skin heals from the micro-injuries, new collagen is generated, filling in acne scars and promoting smoother skin texture. This science-backed approach has proven successful in addressing various skin concerns, including acne scars, brown spots and wrinkles, making microneedling a versatile treatment for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation. Microneedling helps your skin glow after just one treatment and continues to boost the appearance of your complexion for months afterward.

Microneedling vs. Derma Rolling: Pros and Cons
While microneedling and derma rolling aim to stimulate collagen production, there are notable differences between the two techniques. Microneedling, performed by professionals at Tighten It Spa, uses a precision device with adjustable needle lengths to target specific skin concerns. It’s important to note that medical microneedling uses patient-specific devices and no needles are reused. On the other hand, derma rolling involves a handheld roller with fixed needle lengths, making it less precise and potentially less effective - and sometimes even dangerous as an expert is not performing the treatment, nor can the equipment be properly sterilized
Choosing microneedling over derma rolling ensures a sterile, controlled, and customized approach, minimizing the risk of complications and maximizing the treatment's efficiency. At Tighten It Spa in Roseville, our nurses prioritize safety and precision to deliver optimal results for our clients.
Expert Tips: Maximizing Microneedling Results
To enhance your microneedling experience and achieve the best possible results, follow our expert tips:
1. Before and After Microneedling Care: Ensure your skin is well-hydrated before the procedure and follow post-treatment instructions meticulously to promote healing.

3. Combine with Skincare: Pair microneedling with a skincare routine that complements the treatment. Our nurses can recommend products that enhance and maintain the results of your microneedling sessions.
