Microneedling has become a popular treatment in the beauty world, with many people swearing by the benefits and wonders it has done for their skin. As a relatively painless and non-invasive treatment, it has become a preferred go-to treatment for skin enthusiasts all over the world.
The process of microneedling is done to induce collagen by inflicting tiny injuries using micro pokes with a microneedle “pen” machine. Typically, a numbing cream is applied to mildly numb the skin so the procedure can be done, and patients do not feel the device’s tiny needles going over their skin. The pen is used in up and down motions, creating tiny invisible holes at the upper layer of the skin. The treatment can also be used by infusing serums or other skincare products that can aid in better results.
This process of rejuvenating the skin begins by the skin reacts to the injury skin to helping it heal, thereby offsetting the skin’s natural healing process to help in collagen production and elastin encouragement. As the skin heals, it works to resolve any visible skin-related issues, such as correcting hyperpigmentation, improving elasticity and skin texture, and causing the skin to become plumper and firmer. These symptoms make for younger-looking skin that glows with radiance from beneath.
Although it may seem intimidating, microneedling is actually quite painless and just a bit uncomfortable if anything. It is safe enough to do anywhere on the skin, such as the face, hair, and even the neck. Clients can expect a session to last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour, based on the number of sessions and how deeply the microneedling pen will be going. Initial sessions don’t go that deep and are done relatively just on the top surface of the skin, which also allows the skin to adapt the next time around for even better healing and end results.
Clients can expect mild redness and/or swelling like a mild sunburn for the first few hours to a couple of days as the skin heals and rejuvenates. There can be mild bleeding and visible pores, which will scab and then flake off on their own. It is highly advised not to pick or scratch the skin as it heals to ensure no irritation or visible scarring.
Microneedling sessions are recommended to be done every 4-6 weeks, depending on age and severity of skin concerns. With each passing session, the treatment can be done by going a little deeper into the skin, thereby addressing more problematic and serious concerns like deep lines or textured skin.
Microneedling offers effective benefits if used for anti-aging. The collagen that is produced can help to reduce the look of sagging and drooping skin and fine lines, and wrinkles when done consistently. The earlier any type of anti-aging treatment is done, and regularly, the more consistent the results and the delay of the aging process. If you are interested in learning about microneedling, it is best to consult with a professional and also do your own research.
