How Microneedling Transforms Skin?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, has emerged as a go-to treatment for achieving smoother, healthier skin. By addressing a variety of concerns, from acne scars to fine lines and wrinkles, microneedling offers a versatile solution that rejuvenates the skin with minimal downtime.
What is Microneedling?
How Microneedling Transforms Skin
1. Reduces Acne Scars
White superficial onychomycosis only affects the surface of the nails, mainly the toenails. It begins as white spots on the nail surface, which become powdery and cause the nails to crumble over time.
2. Softens Wrinkles and Fine Lines
This is the most common type of toenail fungus infection, caused by a fungus known as dermatophyte. It can affect both fingernails and toenails, starting in the nail bed underneath the nail. The infection appears as a yellowish-colored area that spreads from the edge of the nail to the center, causing the nail to separate from the nail bed.
3. Minimizes Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage
Candida onychomycosis is caused by yeast and primarily affects the fingernails. The area around the nails often becomes swollen and inflamed, and in severe cases, the nail may come off entirely. This infection may result from an injury or a previous infection.
4. Tightens Skin
Proximal subungual onychomycosis appears as white spots in the center of the nail bed at the cuticles and moves outward as the nail grows. This rare type of infection often affects individuals with immune system problems, such as those with HIV.
5. Improves Product Absorption
Proximal subungual onychomycosis appears as white spots in the center of the nail bed at the cuticles and moves outward as the nail grows. This rare type of infection often affects individuals with immune system problems, such as those with HIV.
Complications of Toenail Fungus
- Consultation: A licensed practitioner evaluates your skin concerns and determines if microneedling is the right option for you
- Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the
procedure. - Treatment: The microneedling device is gently rolled or stamped across the skin, creating microinjuries in the targeted areas.
- Post-Treatment Care: A calming serum is applied, and patients are advised to avoid makeup, sun
exposure, and harsh skincare products for 24-48 hours.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Treatment Options
Approximately 1 in 10 people experience toenail fungus infection. Family doctors often diagnose and treat this condition with topical and oral antifungal medications. However, certain types of fungus are challenging to treat with medication alone. At Youthful Derma, we have successfully treated various types of fungus using a combination of laser therapy and oral/topical medications, or in some cases, laser therapy alone.
