The treatment of microneedling, along with other skincare procedures like resurfacing treatments and at-home laser therapy, is a popular cosmetic process that many people opt into to alleviate dermatological concerns. These are minor issues that can range from acne scarring to stretch marks or other roughened skin textures, with the end goal of these procedures to smooth out the skin and improve its appearance by firming or toning it. While microneedling itself has many advantageous outcomes, the post-procedure care involved can make a significant impact as well. Thanks to stem cell technology, the efficacy of the treatment can be amplified with the use of professional-grade stem cell microneedling serums, particularly those infused with high concentrations of repair and renewal proteins that work at a cellular level.
Microneedling works by using tiny, sterilized needles to create microscopic wounds in the skin and induce multiple controlled injuries that way. This preemptively triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and kickstarting rejuvenation within the skin. Because it is a minimally invasive procedure, it can be preferred over more ablative treatments like laser resurfacing, although it can still lead to side effects like swelling and discomfort. This redness and inflammation in the skin will generally last for one to two days and include a downtime of two to three days. However, this undesirable aftermath can easily be abated, with the recovery course sped up and improved while the aesthetic outcomes are further refined.
While these skin correction processes yield impressive results, they are also largely influenced by the patient’s capacity for healing, though the journey to optimal skin health doesn’t end there. To counteract the more unpleasant aftereffects, specialized topical agents can be applied to the patient to alleviate them and boost microneedling results. As mentioned before, post-procedural care plays a pivotal role in maximizing the outcomes and minimizing downtime. One such application that is recommended by aestheticians and dermatologists alike is the CALECIM® Professional skincare range for its transformative effects on the skin, with products backed by stem cell technology and extensive clinical research and testing.
In particular, the Professional Serum has been designed specifically to enhance the results of the clinical treatments through its skin-restoring benefits, to accelerate tissue restoration, and to reduce the redness and swelling caused by the microneedling sessions. The driving power behind the serum—as well as the rest of CALECIM®’s skincare range—is the brand’s patented invention of the ingredient PTT-6®, a powerful blend of growth factors, exosomes, peptides, and proteins that acts as a catalyst for the skin’s natural restoration process. Scientific studies have demonstrated the ingredient’s ability to promote skin cell mobility, speed up healing, and reduce inflammation, making it an ideal accompaniment for various in-clinic treatments.
PTT-6® carries naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, soluble collagen, fibronectin, and active proteins and delivers them into the epidermal layers, relaying these ‘youth messages’ straight to the skin cells and stimulating their repair and healing processes. It has been clinically validated to increase skin density by 600%, increase the natural production of hyaluronic acid by 83% and elastin by 56%, improve skin cell production by 42%, and accelerate skin repair. In lab tests and studies, the PTT-6® ingredient has been shown to increase cell mobility and also produce anti-inflammatory proteins.
Dermatologists recommend applying the Professional Serum after microneedling sessions to soothe the uncomfortable aftereffects and continue its use for the following week. As it has the highest concentration of PTT-6® amongst their line, the stem cell compounds present in the serum effectively provide the optimal recovery conditions. Additionally, since the skin post-treatment is in a favorable state to absorb the nutrients in topical products, that makes the serum is an excellent choice by dermatologists’ standards, and it has been widely used in conjunction with in-clinic procedures as a powerful and fast-acting treatment solution. Incorporating CALECIM®’s Professional Serum into a home skincare routine alongside their Multi-Action Cream can allow users to further augment the effects of their microneedling session, surpassing the benefits achievable through microneedling alone.
Though the skin irritation and required recovery time post microneedling are not as traumatic as the side effects of other, more ablative clinical skin procedures, CALECIM® can complement both types of treatments effectively. Their active ingredient is highly proficient in reducing post-procedure skin inflammation while rejuvenating the dermis by facilitating skin cell regeneration. The way the stem cell serum targets beneath the surface helps to regulate the skin cycle, allowing for fresher, more youthful skin cells to emerge and rise up, leading to enhanced radiance and a glowing complexion for the user.
In essence, the science behind professional microneedling topical solutions like CALECIM®’s Professional Serum stems from innovative approaches to skincare by engaging stem cell technology to optimize clinical treatments and elevate the skincare experience. With proven efficacy and more notable results, these serums bring a whole host of benefits to their users, paving the way for healthier and brighter skin. Whether used alongside microneedling or as part of a comprehensive skincare regimen, they have successfully established themselves as essential tools for achieving a more satisfying aesthetic outcome for users everywhere.
