Synergistic therapy for skin aging: The association of the microneedling technique and vitamin C from the point of view of orofacial harmonization

Abstract

The increase in life expectancy around the world and the need to look good explains the growth in the number of clinical services focused on aesthetics.    As it is the most exposed organ, the skin has a strong social concept since skin changes represent a criterion of beauty and greatly affect people’s self-esteem. Several clinical manifestations occur in skin aging, such as wrinkles, sagging, roughness, dryness, and blemishes related to both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, especially oxidative radicals induced by ultraviolet light, which contribute to the etiology of aging. Our objective is to discuss the improvement of skin quality when combining the microneedling technique with the use of topical vitamin C.
