Microneedling
Microneedling
Procedure
During a microneedling session, a dermatologist or licensed aesthetician will use a specialized pen or roller with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
Collagen Production
These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing process, which includes the production of collagen and elastin. These are essential proteins for maintaining skin's strength, suppleness, and elasticity.
Skin Benefits
Microneedling is used to address various skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture and tone. It can improve the overall quality and appearance of the skin.
Customization
The treatment is highly customizable. The depth of the needle penetration can be adjusted to target specific skin concerns, and it can be used on different areas of the body.
Recovery
After the procedure, there may be some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, but the downtime is relatively short, and most people can return to their regular activities within a few days.
Number of Sessions
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the skin concern and the desired results. Multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal outcomes.
Safety
Microneedling is generally considered safe when performed by trained professionals. However, it's important to follow post-treatment care instructions and consult with a healthcare provider to minimize potential side effects and complications.
