Botox vs Microneedling

        Everyone is always looking for the next product or method that slows the aging process and keeps their skin looking as youthful as possible. Two commonly known treatments that are effective for smoothing out and getting rid of those unwanted wrinkles are Botox and microneedling. Microneedling and Botox are two very different processes and treatments but initially achieve the same goal.

Botox

        Botox is extremely popular in today’s generation as people are always trying to rewind the time and stay looking youthful for as long as possible. What happens in the Botox process is you are injected with a substance called Clostridium botulinum beneath the skin that affects muscle movement. This results in smoothing out areas on the face people tend to get wrinkles when moving their faces or making facial expressions. Sometimes injections are even recommended for helping migraines. It is a widely popular procedure to get done for slowing the aging process. People typically get Botox every 3 to 6 months.

Microneedling

        On the other hand, microneedling is a completely different type of treatment to help with those unwanted fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling is a treatment that uses a tiny sterilized needle to make small pricks in the skin. What this technique does is trigger cell turnover and increase collagen production. Microneedling also treats those fine lines and wrinkles as well as a number of other skin-related issues. Microneedling treats acne scarring, uneven skin tone, texture, and stretch marks. For long last and best results, it is recommended to get the treatment once a month. Overall, microneedling improves the surface of the skin and brings that glow from within. The endless benefits are a plus too!
