When treating your skin for the signs of aging, you have a lot of options. From the standard lotions and potions to trendy treatments like face rollers, from at-home versions of aesthetician treatments to injections and face-lifts, it’s hard to know which solutions work best if you want to combat those tell-tale signs of a life well lived.
With the EndyMed PURE 2.0 system from Dr. Jack Peterson, there’s never been a more effortless and less invasive way to rejuvenate the delicate but hard-to-treat skin around the eyes. While the EndyMed PURE 2.0 system has three powerful options available for treating the skin, let’s focus on one specific area of treatment: microneedling.
What Is Microneedling?
While microneedling is innovative, it’s hardly new. In fact, the first microneedling treatment was conducted in 1905 by a German doctor looking to treat scarring, hyperpigmentation and even birthmarks.
Today, it is still used to treat the skin, but it has evolved quite a bit. Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny, fine needles to create “micro-injuries” in the surface of the skin, which then restore and boost collagen production in the skin as they heal.
Here are just a few of the many benefits of that you can experience when you try the EndyMed PURE 2.0 system from Dr. Jack Peterson.
The Benefits of Microneedling
Collagen Production: The main goal of microneedling is to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the facial skin. With the EndyMed PURE 2.0 system, you can quickly and effectively target the collagen in the delicate eye area. Collagen and elastin give our skin that elastic effect when we pinch it, allowing it to “snap” back into place like a rubber band.
Plumping Fine Lines and Wrinkles: For many of us, the eyes show our age by developing fine lines and wrinkles in the surrounding skin. This is often due to collagen loss, which causes the skin to appear saggy or loose. The EndyMed PURE 2.0 system causes micro-injuries to the skin, which leads to skin tightening as it heals. This makes the skin appear more taut and supple, and improves that “snap-back” we had in our youth.
Scar Reduction: For most of us, getting injured is a fact of life. But while scars may tell an important story, not everyone appreciates them, especially when they’re on the face. Thankfully, microneedling can help. As we mentioned, one of the original uses for microneedling was to treat scars. This can include acne scars, surgical scars, injuries and stretch marks. The EndyMed PURE 2.0 system uses microneedling to boost collagen production and break down scar tissue, revealing smoother and tighter skin at the site of the scar.
Improved Skin Tone and Texture: If your skin feels rough or just isn’t as soft as you’d like, microneedling can also help with that. Microneedling can even reduce hyperpigmentation in the skin, uneven skin tone and sun damage. This can create a more even complexion and reduce the signs of aging by eliminating dark spots that appear on the face over time.
Minimized Pores: While clogged pores and blackheads are a common problem for teens due to hormones and overactive sebaceous glands, treating teen acne is relatively easy, and with younger skin, the pores usually return to their original size once that acne has cleared. But as we age, enlarged pores can often occur on the skin in different places than we may have experienced as a teen. With microneedling, you can effectively reduce the size of these enlarged pores, making your skin look younger and tighter and even improving its tone as the pores close up.
Hair Growth: While the EndyMed PURE 2.0 system does not treat hair loss and is not used to promote hair growth on the scalp, this is a proven use for microneedling for individuals with certain types of hair loss.
Improved Product Efficacy: While lotions and potions may not be a cure-all for treating the signs of aging on the face, they can still be a helpful step in your anti-aging efforts. But sometimes, those expensive creams and serums could use a little boost. Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin, which means the skin can absorb topical skin care products much more easily, rendering them more effective.
Minimal Downtime: Because microneedling is a minimally invasive and fast treatment, you can enjoy minimal downtime following your microneedling procedure. While you may still experience some discomfort and redness following your microneedling session, you can usually resume your normal activities immediately following an EndyMed PURE 2.0 system treatment with Dr. Jack Peterson.
Versatile Options: While the EndyMed PURE 2.0 system is designed specifically to target the delicate eye area of the face, microneedling is a safe procedure for many other parts of the body. It can address various skin concerns and is safe, effective, and time-tested.
Microneedling: The Final Word
While microneedling with the EndyMed PURE 2.0 system is safe for all skin tones and types, the effectiveness of this treatment will naturally vary from person to person, and multiple sessions may be required for best results.
At the office of Dr. Jack Peterson, you can rest assured that your EndyMed PURE 2.0 system treatment is conducted by trained, licensed professionals who know the anatomy of the face and can deliver the most effective treatment possible.
If you have a history of keloid scarring, an active infection or certain skin conditions, you may not be a good candidate for the EndyMed PURE 2.0 system, so discuss your skin condition in depth during your consultation.
