Dr Gerda Explains Microneedling
* 🪡 Micro‑injuries triggered: Tiny sterile needles create controlled punctures in the epidermis, signalling the skin to heal itself.
* 🔥 Inflammatory response kicks in: Immune cells release growth factors (like PDGF, VEGF, TGF‑β, FGF), setting the repair cascade in motion.
* 🧬 Fibroblast activation: Repair cells flood in, proliferate and produce fresh collagen and elastin in the dermis.
* 🌱 Neovascularization begins: New micro‑capillaries form to nourish the regenerating tissue.
* 🔄 Skin renewal unfolds: Over weeks to months, new protein networks plump wrinkles, soften scars, tighten pores, even tone and boost elasticity.
* 💧 Heightened absorption mode: Micro-channels boost serum pe*******on - skincare works smarter and deeper.
