Microneedling
What is it?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin.
What does the procedure entail?
During a microneedling session, a specially designed device equipped with tiny needles is passed over the skin, creating thousands of micro-punctures. These micro-injuries prompt the skin to produce new collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in improved skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.
After microneedling treatment, patients may experience some redness, swelling, and minor discomfort, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects usually subside within a few days. It’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by the practitioner to promote healing and maximize results.
How can it help?
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, microneedling can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
- Improve the appearance of acne scars by encouraging the growth of new skin cells and breaking down scar tissue.
- Improve uneven skin tone and texture: The collagen induction process can help even out skin tone and texture, diminishing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, roughness, and other irregularities.
- Reduce enlarged pores: Microneedling can minimize the size of enlarged pores by stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.
- Reduce the appearance of Stretch marks: Microneedling may help reduce the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen synthesis and promoting skin regeneration in the affected areas.
- Microneedling is suitable for almost all skin types and can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. It is typically performed in a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
