What if patches could smooth the skin and give it back a plump appearance? Explanations.
On the forehead and at the eye level, wrinkles and fine lines can settle. These are sometimes due to dehydration, a poor lifestyle or simply in passing time. Once installed, difficult to get rid of it. Laborious yes, but not impossible. A good skin care routine can help, in particular by focusing on anti-aging assets such as collagen, peptides, hyaluronic acid or retinol. The latter give the epidermis a rebounded side, hydrate it and encourage cell renewal. The problem ? In order to protect themselves from external aggressions and possible irritations, the skin acts like a barrier where only a small percentage of these products can penetrate. Then come into play the anti-wrinkle patches. Zoom on this perfect product to give the skin a real boost.
Be careful, we are not talking about ordinary patches here, but with “microneedling”. Often presented as an “alternative to Botox”, they are filled with micro-active assets. Applied to the skin, they create tiny openings or micro-channels that allow ingredients to penetrate more deep under the surface of the skin. This non-invasive process not only makes it possible to hydrate the face in depth, but also to stimulate the production of collagen. The key? More elasticity and less expression wrinkles. A bit like after a visit to the surgeon (less painful).
Our favorites? Microneedling patches for the forehead and eyes of the Currentbody brand, and it must be admitted: the results are surprising. First of all, you should know that in application they provide a slight feeling of tingling because of the needles (an element to take into account for the cozy). Once well installed, they no longer move and are very discreet. The peaks are enriched with hyaluronic acid, penetrate the epidermis and hydrate it for a younger appearance. Our advice? Let them put on all night. When you wake up, you will see a clear decrease in wrinkles and fine lines on the areas concerned (believe the author of these lines). They are available on the brand’s website for € 29.99 for the three pairs.
Obviously, microneedling patches are not a miracle solution. Expectations must remain realistic since most references use very short needles. “”For microneedling to be effective and reaches the dermis, it must be at a depth of 0.5 to 1 mm“, Explains Dr. Coni Liu, a dermatologist, in the Media Her World. Concretely, this means that after use, we can see results, however they will not last over time. “It is important to understand that, even if they can have a positive effect, is it a long-term or short-term effect? I think it is probably rather a short-term benefit“, Specifies Dr. Sejal Shah, also a dermatologist, at the media Today.
For more efficiency, it is recommended to use them every week. But before an important event or an evening, microneedling patches can be a good ally to give your face a real boost!
