Mesmerizing Microneedle 400% Collagen Increase!
A 2008 study proved that the amount of collagen and elastin in the skin of people post microneedling increased by an impressive 400%! Microneedling is amazing for anti-aging, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and more. It’s natural, safe and effective.
Microneedling is Simply Amazing!
This is my chest and yes, it looked this good right after 1 microneedling treatment. Because I sleep on my side and I have a large bust, I get significant chest wrinkles (I’m 47). Even though I have EXTREMEMLY sensitive skin, I do microneedling on my face and chest every 2 months; it reverses sun damage and preserves the integrity of my thinning skin, making it look MUCH younger than it is. Many people guess my age to be 10+ years younger than I am.

About Microneedling:
In a 2008 research study, it was proven that after undergoing repeated micro-needling procedures, the amount of collagen and elastin in the skin of the patients increased by an impressive 400% after just 6 months. Furthermore, the skin became noticeably plump, smooth, and rejuvenated after 1 full year, highlighting the long-term benefits of this innovative treatment.
Microneedling causes “micro-injuries” that help stimulate the skin to repair itself naturally through a process called dermal remodeling. This remodeling kick-starts your natural healing process, which stokes collagen production.
The tiny punctures immediately stimulate fibroblast activity, which starts the one-week stage of inflammation. The next phase (proliferation), is where fibroblasts and keratinocytes produce collagen. The structure of the new collagen fibers is similar to that of undamaged, youthful skin. Simultaneously, new blood vessels are created that provide adequate vascularization and oxygenation for the newly formed tissue. During the last phase (remodeling), the skin becomes thicker and creates the support, strength and flexibility for the new skin.
To provide time for all the described stages and for the best results, it’s important to wait 3–6 weeks between micro-needling sessions. For older, more wrinkled skin, or skin that has extensive acne scarring, a series of micro-needling sessions should be performed for more dramatic results. How may treatments your skin needs to reach your goals will be assessed and you will be well informed before deciding on a treatment plan of action.
Because sensitive skin can’t handle stronger peels & sometimes microdermabrasion, Microneedle treatments are my go-to for not only my own sensitive skin, but all of my aging client’s skin, even if they are extremely sensitive!
J. Renee Esthetics microneedling sessions go beyond the ordinary by pairing advanced techniques tailored to maximize your skin’s potential. Each session combines a gentle enzyme peel to cleanse and prepare your skin, L.E.D. Light therapy to soothe and stimulate cellular activity, and—when your skin type allows—microdermabrasion for refined texture and increased absorption. This powerful trio jumpstarts your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, delivering visible improvements in texture, tone, and firmness from the very first treatment—followed by microneedling continuing to enhance your complexion with lasting results. At J. Renee Organics, we don’t just treat skin; we transform it using an all-natural and healthy approach.

What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion (microderm) is a non-invasive, comfortable, exfoliating procedure that produces immediate improvement of the texture and tone of the skin. The suction from microdermabrasion cleans out the pores making them look smaller, it exfoliates to fade sun spots and acne scars, it clears blackheads and acne, plumps fines lines and puts that young glow back into your cheeks. For significant improvement of pigmentation (sun spots & Melasma) and persistent acne, you may need a series of treatments.
The number of treatments and space between depends on your skin type, the severity of your condition, your goals and your budget. Monthly or bi-monthly microderm treatments are beneficial for individuals with thick/dry skin, persistent acne or for people over 25 wanting to keep their skin looking and feeling youthful. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and there is no down time, or add to a facial for around an hour and 15 minutes of the best skin treatment AND relaxaxtion. At J Renee Skin Clinic, I pair microderm with Light Emitting Diode Therapy (LED). LED plumps skin at the cellular level by helping your body produce its own collagen, kills the bacteria that causes acne, among other benefits.

Melasma Plan
“…Recent scientific evidence shows that a melasma can be linked to stress, depression and anxiety.“
Melasma is a skin condition that causes the darkening of the skin on the forehead, cheeks, chin and upper lip. It’s thought to be caused by hormonal factors but in recent research, it’s also been found to be involved in the immune system’s inflammatory response. Current suggestions for treatment focus on sunscreen of 30+SPF worn daily, avoidance of direct and indirect sun exposure (especially UVA rays), whitening creams and exfoliating away pigmented skin with peels, microdermabrasion and other esthetic modalities.
UVA rays are like pouring oil on a fire, they stoke the production of melanin, which makes melasma considerably worse. UVA rays peak in early morning hours and can easily pass through glass, even on cloudy days and doesn’t cause a sun burn. Intense heat also causes melasma skin to darken. People with careers dealing with high heat situations or intense sunlight will have the hardest time managing this condition. My worst case of melasma came in from a client who was a pilot. The several hours of windshield time a pilot, long-haul driver or the like is very detrimental to the skin, even without melasma. Saunas and steam rooms should also be avoided for people trying to manage their melasma.
Recent scientific evidence shows that a melasma can be linked to stress, depression and anxiety. This comorbidity does not surprise me; these conditions cause inflammation in the body. Furthermore, antidepressant medications cause you to be more sensitive to UV damage.
As an esthetician, I recommend starting a series of Pigment Fading Microdermabrasions as well as a home routine that gently exfoliates amd lightens skin with every application. How many treatments and at what frequency is completely individual. The esthetician will assess your skin and write up a plan for your specific needs. Some people are too sensitive for microdermabrasion, so they will be referred to Pigment Fading Facials or Home Facial Kits to fade and blend the skin tone.
