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.

GLASS SKIN with Progressive Exfoliation

Remove diseased, dry, dead skin to allow healthy, glowing skin to shine.

The concept of progressive exfoliation is exactly what the stars in Hollywood do to keep their youthful glow in between their Botox or filler appointments.  I prefer a more natural, gentle approach with plant acids and enzymes like glycolic acid, bromelain and salicylic acid to aid in cell turnover and to stimulate collagen production.  Because you are removing the thick layer of dry, dead skin cells, your products are more readily absorbed too, which saves you money on serum and moisturizer. 

There are levels of exfoliating; when used together at the right timing, they can achieve excellent results in clearing up acne, lessening the look of wrinkles, making pores look smaller and softening the texture of your skin. 

If you follow this routine, your skin should become and stay soft and clear and your complexion will glow.  It may take weeks or even months to see the full benefits of this routine though, so stick with it and be consistent.  Make sure to do your daily routine in the morning and evening every day.  The more consistent you are, the quicker you will see results.
