Serum - How Much is Your Skin Absorbing?

Serum - When it comes to achieving glowing, youthful skin, the method of application can make all the difference! Let’s explore how various techniques—like mesotherapy injections, microneedling, derma rolling, and topical application and see where you can enhance the absorption of your favourite skincare boosters and serum the most.  And what method is most effective.

Best Serum Aborption Winner Goes To...

No suprises here.. the front runner is Mesotherapy Injections for serum absorption: This technique delivers vitamins, minerals, and other active ingredients in your serum directly into the mesoderm (the middle layer of the skin). By bypassing the outer layer, these injections ensure that potent serums work deeply and effectively, providing an instant boost to hydration and elasticity.  And yes you can do this yourself at home and save yourself the costly fees at salons.  It is not for the faint hearted at first then once you get the hang of it, it is actually quite an easy procedure to do on yourself and takes about 30 minutes.

Second Place Serum Aborption Goes To...

In second place for serum absorption we have Microneedling: Using tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling the Serum enhances product absorption by increasing skin permeability. This treatment allows the serum to penetrate deeper, amplifying their effects and promoting collagen production for smoother, plumper skin.  There is not a lot of difference here between the top two and there are so many benefits to just microneedling Serum alone, coupled with this with a product like... I don't know... say Salmon DNA Serum!!!  And you are packing a powerful punch.

Third Place Serum Aborption Goes To...

In third place we have Derma Rolling or Stamping: Similar to microneedling, derma rolling employs a handheld device with fine needles. The controlled micro-trauma stimulates skin renewal and enhances the absorption of topical Serum treatments. After rolling, applying your favourite serum can deliver maximum results, leaving your skin looking revitalized.  I prefer to use a Serum treatment like this on a nightly basis as the depth of the needles is much less intrusive so it is pushing in that serum but it's not damaging that skin so it nears to repair itself.  This way you don't have to wait four weeks to do another session you can do this nightly instead of topical serums to push them in further to the skin.

Forth and Final Place Serum Aborption Goes To...

And coming in at last place we have Topical Treatments: While traditional, don’t underestimate the power of simply applying serum and boosters directly. Layering on well-formulated Serum products can still yield significant benefits, especially when combined with gentle exfoliation and proper hydration routines.

Incorporating these Serum application methods into your skincare regimen can help unlock the full potential of your skin boosters and serum transforming your skin from the inside out. Choose the best approach for your skin type and needs and get ready to flaunt a luminous complexion!
