Regeneration Explained
Regeneration is the process of naturally building collagen by creating a wound healing response. Whether it be through a micro needling stamp, electric process, or by a roller. The process entails accelerating the phases of skin regeneration through the creation of numerous microinjuries created by the thin needles. This also give you the ability for your skin to reap the benefits of active ingredients being penetrated in the skin vs surface level.
3 Phases of Regeneration
Inflammation
Inflammation is a key part of the body’s defense system. Injuries can trigger an inflammatory response and dispatch cells and chemicals to the site to repair the damage.
Proliferation
In this phase, special cells go into the area of the damaged tissue and start building new tissues. The subacute stage is the time of healing and repair. New collagen fibers are laid down in a disorganized manner in the form of a scar and there are weak links between each fiber. This new tissue is fragile and must be handled gently as it can be easily injured.
Remodeling
As the healing process continues, the tissue starts to remodel, strengthen, and improve its cellular organization. Signs of inflammation are absent and scar tissue starts maturing. Maturation refers to the growth of fibroblasts to fibrocytes and remodeling refers to the organization of and shrinking of collagen fibers along lines of stress. There is less new collagen formation, but an increased organization of collagen fibers, and stronger bonds between them.
