Over the years, the sun’s harsh rays take a toll on your skin. Fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture and tone — the list goes on. And if you’re bothered by the changes you see in the mirror, you don’t have to live with them.
An epidermal growth factor (EGF) microneedling facial might be just the solution you need. Daniel Moghadam, MD, and our team at Modern Aesthetica specialize in this innovative approach that combines the power of microneedling with the restorative benefits of EGF for dramatically healthier-looking skin. Here’s how it works.
It’s no secret that ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can cause significant damage to your skin. Extended exposure to UV light breaks down collagen and elastin in your skin — two essential proteins that maintain your skin’s firmness and structure.
The result? Your skin begins to look dull, tired, and aged beyond its years. The damage manifests as premature aging, like wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dark spots, and a rough texture, and it can leave you feeling self-conscious about your appearance.
EGF microneedling is a cutting-edge treatment designed to combat sun damage and rejuvenate your skin. It combines two powerful aesthetic elements: microneedling and epidermal growth factors.
Microneedling involves creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in your skin using fine needles. These micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing process, prompting collagen and elastin production.
EGF is a naturally occurring protein that plays a vital role in cell growth and tissue repair. When applied to your skin during a microneedling session, EGF penetrates more deeply, promotes cellular renewal, and accelerates the healing process. This powerful combination delivers a smoother, more even complexion with reduced signs of sun damage. Benefits include:
The microneedling process stimulates collagen production, which helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Adding EGF further enhances skin renewal because microneedling creates micro-channels in your skin that support better absorption.
Sun damage often results in dark spots and uneven pigmentation. EGF microneedling can help fade these discolorations by stimulating healthy cell growth to give your skin a more uniform appearance.
EGF microneedling treatments help restore your skin’s natural elasticity by boosting collagen and elastin production, making it appear firmer and more youthful.
Last but not least, microneedling can also help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. Smaller-looking pores contribute to a smoother overall complexion and a more youthful appearance.
If you’re concerned about sun-damaged skin, an EGF microneedling facial could be an excellent option. It offers a powerful combination of microneedling and EGF to rejuvenate your skin, and Dr. Moghadam and our team are here to help you achieve your most beautiful skin.
We start your EGF microneedling facial by thoroughly cleansing your skin. We may also apply a numbing cream for your comfort during the procedure.
Next, we use a microneedling device to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of your skin. We apply the EGF serum immediately afterward, allowing it to penetrate deeply and boost your skin’s natural healing process.
After the treatment, you might experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn. These effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days. As your skin heals, you'll notice gradual improvements in texture, tone, and overall appearance.
