If You're Over 40, Microneedling is a Must-Know Treatment
Microneedling is one of the most effective professional skincare treatments available for mature skin. It can help improve skin texture, reduce sun damage and fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike lasers, microneedling does not thin the skin and disrupt the skin barrier, also known as the stratum corneum. This is the outermost layer of skin that protects the body from environmental threats and helps maintain water balance. Any woman knows that dry skin accentuates wrinkles and makes you look older.
But, does microneedling work on older skin?
Yes, microneedling is a great option for aged skin. As we age, the skin loses collagen and elastin causing the skin to thin. Microneedling—also called collagen induction therapy—helps the body produce more collagen and elastin to improve fine lines and wrinkles, and crepey skin.
While it cannot make you look 30 again, microneedling is one of the best options for aging skin. Research indicates that it can deliver results comparable to costly laser treatments in promoting elastin and collagen production.
Our Process:
Firstly, it's important to note that one treatment alone is insufficient to achieve the desired results for any skin procedure.
Secondly, as we age, our stem cells lose their ability to self-renew which depletes the stem cell pool and slows down the production of elastin and collagen. By integrating stem cells, growth factors, and exosomes before, during, and after your microneedling session, we can send signals throughout your body to restore elastin and collagen at a rate similar to that of younger skin, giving aged cells a more youthful appearance.
Lastly, proper aftercare is essential for maintaining the results of microneedling and slowing the aging process. We utilize techniques and products that are scientifically proven to enhance collagen and elastin production.
Finally, the loss of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone play a vital role in skin aging. As women age, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels decline, reaching their lowest point during menopause. This reduction in estrogen and progesterone is a major factor contributing to sagging, dry skin, leading to the formation of wrinkles. Additionally, collagen levels decrease alongside estrogen and progesterone, resulting in thinner skin.
​
Many studies have shown the benefits of topical hormone creams. One of these studies found that topical estriol can help prevent skin aging by increasing collagen levels and skin thickness. Other studies have shown that topical estrogens can:
-
Increase skin moisture
-
Decrease pore size.
-
Increase skin firmness and elasticity:
-
​
Topical estriol is considered safe and effective for preventing skin aging. It doesn't increase systemic estrogen levels, so it doesn't have hormonal side effects.
​
Results of the study showed that after treatment for 6 months, elasticity and firmness of the skin had markedly improved and the wrinkle depth and pore sizes had decreased by 61 to 100%. Furthermore, skin moisture had increased and the study revealed significant, or even highly significant, decreases of wrinkle depth. Significant increases of Type III collagen with increased numbers of collagen fibers was also noted at the end of the treatment period. As to hormone levels, no increase or systemic hormonal side effects were noted.
​
At Optimal Hormones and Wellness, we integrate microneedling with top-quality products to deliver optimal results. Our combination treatments feature growth factors, exosomes, topical hormone therapy, compounded retinoids, and medical peels to enhance your outcomes.
Important considerations:
Professional treatment: Always seek a qualified dermatology expert or aesthetician to perform this treatment.
Multiple sessions: Several treatments are needed for noticeable results.
Potential side effects: Mild redness and swelling may occur but typically resolve quickly.

We can help you feel your optimal best, lose weight, improve energy and look more youthful.
It's Not Your Age, It's Your Hormones
At Optimal Hormones & Wellness, we believe that aging shouldn’t equate to symptoms that negatively impact your daily life. We specialize in hormone replacement therapy, which can be used to help relieve a range of symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances and declines, including fatigue, low libido, and weight gain. Our team of experts uses a personalized approach to address each patient’s unique needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.
Our goal at Optimal Hormones & Wellness is to find that OPTIMAL level, not just settle for normal. During the consultation we will discuss your health concerns, hormonal issues, and other needs to help you get relief from your symptoms and discuss if hormones, natural therapies or both could benefit you.
If you are struggling with losing weight, staying energized, or even sexual function, there could be a hormonal issue at play. Normal doesn't mean OPTIMAL. We are here to help you feel your best.

Natural Wellness
Our Approach to Prescribing Medications
At Optimal Hormones & Wellness, we take a functional medicine/integrative medicine approach to balancing your hormones. As part of this approach, we use compounding pharmacies for many of our medications. There are numerous advantages to using compounded medication. Compounded medications allow for customized, flexible, and precise dosing. Compounding pharmacies combine the ingredients in-house to meet the individual patient's needs. We prescribe bio-identical hormones that are individualized and not administered as a set and predetermined dose like commercial medications. Bioidentical hormones are compounds that have the exact same chemical and molecular structure as hormones that are produced in the human body.
