From Needles to Light Therapy: Starter-Friendly Devices That Tell Skin to Heal Itself

Although our skin is designed to heal and renew itself, there is no secret that this process begins to slow down with age. It’s also affected by things like sun damage, environmental exposure, and other external factors. Luckily, at Coco Med Spa, we have several services and devices that offer support when it comes to keeping your skin youthful. Today, we’ll talk about a few options for services that we love to recommend, which signal to the skin to ramp up its healing and restorative processes to keep your skin looking and feeling its best. 

Microneedling with SkinPen for Collagen Stimulation

Microneedling is a minimally invasive service that uses tiny needles to safely create micro-injuries to the skin in order to trigger the body’s healing response. As the tiny injuries are created, the skin starts to create more collagen and elastin to help heal the treated areas. This results in smoother, firmer skin made from healthy new collagen. Microneedling is generally a multi-treatment process with at least 3 sessions recommended, several weeks apart. The downtime is minimal after each treatment, with most people experiencing sunburn-like redness for 24-48 hours post-treatment.

RF Microneedling with Morpheus8 for Deep Rejuvenation

Morpheus8 takes things a step further with the addition of radio frequency to the microneedling process. Radiofrequency stimulates deeper layers of the skin for an even better collagen and elastin production response, offering enhanced results to traditional microneedling. Morpheus8 is recommended for those looking to address skin laxity, fine lines, acne scarring, and texture. If you ask us, we love the combination of traditional microneedling with the boost of radiofrequency for powerful results every time. 

Enhanced Results with Light Therapy

Another approach that differs from microneedling but can yield similar results is light therapy via laser treatments like SkinTyte, BBL HEROic, and Moxi. SkinTyte, for example, uses the power of infrared light to stimulate collagen production for tighter, more lifted skin. Although it’s a different modality, the skin’s response is similar. Controlled injuries yield an enhanced healing process for more youthful skin. For best results, about 4-6 SkinTyte sessions are recommended, usually about 3-4 weeks apart. 

As with all cosmetic treatments, it’s best to consult with your provider about which service best meets your specific needs and skin type. While all the mentioned services can yield similar results, other factors may determine which service will yield the safest, most optimal results for you. No matter which service you choose, following your treatments with daily use of ( plated )™ Skin Science is a cheat code for faster healing and even better results. This exosome skincare continues communicating to your skin that it should repair and restore, improving results dramatically. Ready to see which service is right for you?
