Treat sagging facial skin with microneedling
Over time, our facial skin changes naturally and goes hand in hand with the ageing process.
Nowadays, however, our society is increasingly striving for a more youthful appearance at an older age.
This quest for attractiveness and positive radiance is completely normal.
The good news is that microneedling can achieve impressive, visible results not only in the treatment of wrinkles, stretch marks and scars, but also in the treatment of sagging facial skin.
Sagging facial skin can lead to wrinkles, fine lines and an altered facial contour.
At a young age, a face is characterised by high cheeks, smooth skin with volume and a rejuvenated facial contour towards the chin.
However, as we age, fine lines, wrinkles and folds appear.
Volume is lost and the connective tissue becomes weaker.
The facial skin sags, the cheeks lose height, nasolabial folds deepen and the facial contour widens.
This loss of contour can lead to a tired, sad or disgruntled facial expression.
To counteract the signs of ageing, a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care are important.
Microneedling treatments can be an effective measure to counteract the increasingly sagging facial skin.

What changes does sagging facial skin lead to?
Sagging facial skin not only leads to wrinkles and fine lines on the face, it can also change the entire facial contour.
At a young age, a face tends to be characterised by high cheeks, smooth skin with volume and a facial contour that tapers towards the chin.
In addition, the facial skin has a youthful, radiant glow - the so-called glow.
The above-described texture of youthful facial skin, which is perceived as attractive by onlookers, changes with the ageing process.
The first fine lines, wrinkles and creases appear as early as the age of 25 to 30.
As ageing progresses, volume loss and increasingly weaker connective tissue follow.
This often leads to sagging of the facial skin, which ultimately changes the entire contour of the face.
The high cheeks disappear, the nasolabial folds become more pronounced and the facial contour widens towards the chin.
This loss of contour in combination with drooping corners of the mouth often leads to a completely different facial expression, which often does not correspond to the truth.
This is because severe nasolabial folds and drooping corners of the mouth often appear tired, sad or even disheartened and negative to onlookers.
To counteract the increasing signs of ageing, it is important that you maintain a healthy lifestyle, look after your skin and start to counteract the increasingly sagging facial skin with microneedling treatments at an early stage.
Causes of sagging facial skin
The cause of sagging skin is simply skin ageing.
A distinction must be made between intrinsic skin ageing, also known as biological skin ageing, and extrinsic skin ageing, which is caused by environmental influences and lifestyle.
Intrinsic skin ageing
Extrinsic skin ageing
- UV radiation: One of the main causes of extrinsic skin ageing is UV radiation. This leads to damage to the DNA of skin cells and the formation of free radicals. Long-term exposure to the sun can lead to wrinkles, pigmentation and loss of skin elasticity.
- Environmental pollution: Pollutants in the air, such as exhaust fumes and particulate matter, can cause oxidative stress, which damages skin cells and accelerates skin ageing.
- Smoking: Smoking leads to reduced blood flow to the skin, which impairs oxygen and nutrient transport. This promotes the formation of wrinkles and a dull complexion.
- Diet: An unbalanced diet that is low in antioxidants and high in sugar and unhealthy fats can promote skin ageing. Antioxidant-rich foods such as fruit and vegetables, on the other hand, can slow down skin ageing.
- Stress: Chronic stress can lead to an increase in cortisol levels, which impairs collagen production and promotes skin ageing.
- Lack of sleep: Adequate sleep is important for skin regeneration. Lack of sleep can lead to dark circles under the eyes, dull looking skin and accelerated skin ageing.
How does a microneedling treatment work on sagging facial skin?
In simple terms, it is clear from the previous section that firm connective tissue requires a large number of productive fibroplasts, which provide plenty of collagen and elastin.
By deliberately damaging the skin with a microneedling device equipped with needles, be it a dermaroller (needle roller) or a dermapen, our body's self-healing powers trigger precisely this. This is why microneedling is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT).
In addition, the injury to the skin with the needles causes a certain degree of angiogenesis, i.e. tiny new blood vessels are formed that supply the cells.
With regular use, the skin also becomes slightly thicker again, which is a great advantage as thicker skin can store moisture better, which plumps it up and thus counteracts the formation of wrinkles.
That was a lot of theory, but now you know why microneedling can treat sagging facial skin so effectively.
However, this is not entirely true, as the combination of microneedling and the associated introduction of active ingredients into the skin with the help of microneedling serums is responsible for an optimal microneedling treatment.
What is the right serum to optimally treat sagging facial skin with a Dermaroller or Dermapen?
As with other skin problems, the same applies to sagging facial skin.
There is no one right serum, but as the theoretical explanations may have made clear, the connective tissue involves metabolic processes in which a wide variety of substances and factors play a role.
This is why there is a wide range of microneedling serums that are suitable for treating sagging skin.
Our recommendation for microneedling serums for sagging facial skin
Only the combination of the reaction of the body's self-healing powers and the introduction of active ingredients via the puncture channels lead to optimal results with microneedling treatments.
To successfully treat sagging facial skin with microneedling, we recommend using the following microneedling serums:
General tips for the treatment of sagging facial skin with microneedling
Here are some general tips to keep in mind when undergoing microneedling treatment:
- Use a dermapen instead of a dermaroller (needle roller) to customise the depth of the stitches and achieve a nicer stitch pattern.
- Do not always use the same microneedling serum.
- Start with a course of at least 4 to 6 applications at intervals of around 10 days. Then give your skin at least 4 weeks to recover before starting a new cycle.
- Use a 12 gauge needle head for the Dermapen on less sensitive areas and switch to a 36 gauge needle head for sensitive areas such as the eye contour.
- Combine microneedling with a chemical peel, preferably a pyruvic acid peel from Utsukusy Cosmetics, every second application . Be sure to perform the fruit acid peel before the microneedling treatment.
- After microneedling, pamper your skin with a soothing sterile face mask such as the Hexapeptide fleece mask or the hydrogel sheet mask from mccosmetics.
- Protect your skin from direct UV radiation after microneedling and use a sun cream with SPF 50+.
If you want to combine this with a little colour and care, the tinted day creams with SPF 50+ from Utsukusy are the right choice for you.
8. moisturise your skin between treatments. The Hyaluron Active Complex Homecare Set from Utsukusy Cosmetics, consisting of a face cream and a serum, is ideal for this.
Don't give up immediately if you don't see the results you had in mind, because your firm facial skin hasn't turned into sagging facial skin in a short space of time.
Give yourself and your skin time and use microneedling regularly and you will be delighted.
Conclusion
Treating sagging facial skin with microneedling can achieve impressive results.
Combined with high-quality microneedling serums and appropriate aftercare, microneedling can lead to firmer, more youthful skin and a natural complexion.
Frequently asked questions about microneedling with a Dermaroller or Dermapen
What happens during microneedling of sagging skin?
How does microneedling work?
- Stimulation of fibroblasts: The deliberate injury to the skin causes the body to produce more fibroblasts. These cells are responsible for the production of collagen and elastin, which keep the skin firm and elastic.
- Angiogenesis: The injury to the skin leads to the formation of new, tiny blood vessels. These improve the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
- Thickening of the skin: With regular use, the skin becomes thicker. Thicker skin can store moisture better, making it appear plumper and counteracting the formation of wrinkles.
Benefits of microneedling:
- Improved skin texture: stimulation of collagen and elastin production improves skin texture and makes it firmer.
- Moisture retention: Thicker skin retains moisture better, resulting in a plumper complexion.
- Introduction of active ingredients: In combination with special microneedling serums, active ingredients can penetrate deeper into the skin and take effect.
Why is microneedling effective against sagging skin?
The combination of microneedling and the use of special serums regenerates and tightens the skin from the inside out. This makes microneedling with a dermaroller or dermapen a particularly effective method for treating sagging facial skin.
Now you know why microneedling is so effective against sagging skin. It promotes the production of collagen and elastin, improves blood supply and enables better moisture retention. With regular use and the right combination of serums, microneedling can achieve remarkable results.
