Microneedling is a form of skin resurfacing that uses tiny needles to create thousands of microscopic spots in the skin. This allows for better absorption of topical serums and creams, stimulating new collagen production, which can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines. A microneedling facial also stimulates blood flow, producing smoother, less acne-prone skin.
New collagen production
The dermal layer of the skin is made up of collagen, a protein that helps keep your skin firm and flexible. When you undergo microneedling, collagen production increases by up to 300%. This results in improved skin tone and texture and reduced signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
Collagen is also responsible for tissue rejuvenation; it helps rebuild damaged areas, such as acne scars, after they heal so that they are less visible or even disappear altogether!
One study found that microneedling can increase new collagen production by up to 300% after just one session!
Smoother skin
After your microneedling facial, you’ll notice that your skin is smoother. Because the procedure stimulates collagen production in the dermis (the second layer of your skin), collagen is a protein that gives your skin elasticity and youthfulness, so more collagen means younger-looking skin.
It works by activating fibrillates—cells that produce collagen—which increases the collagen produced by those cells. Which increases firmness, radiance, wrinkles, and fine lines around the eyes and mouth are reduced over time!
Tightened pores
The best thing about microneedling facial is that it tightens pores. Creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin stimulates collagen production, which helps make your skin more elastic and supple. This also promotes greater hydration, meaning you’ll have a much smoother complexion with smaller pores that are less noticeable over time.
Less frequent breakouts
While it’sit’s not guaranteed to prevent breakouts, micro-needling decreases how often and severely your acne is. The needles help reduce inflammation, leading to minor breakouts and less scarring.
Suppose you don’t have any breakouts now but are worried about them in the future. In that case, micro-needling can also help prevent future breakouts—it encourages new collagen production, so your skin will be more robust against external aggressors like dirt or oil that can cause a flight.
Face and facial
Micro-needling uses a tiny needle to puncture the skin without surgery. The hands create micro-injuries under your skin, which cause new collagen production and tighten the skin. This stimulates cellular turnover, which reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
A typical microneedling treatment will last from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on your goals. The amount of time depends on how many areas you want to treat at once or if you have any complications like acne or rosacea that require extra care before proceeding with micro-needling facial treatments (more on later).
Acne scars
Acne scars are caused by inflammation and damage to the dermis, a layer of skin below the epidermis, which makes acne scars different from others, such as burns and surgical scars.
Micro-needling can help heal the skin and reduce inflammation, which may help reduce the appearance of acne scars.
The procedure is practically painless
As the name suggests, micro-needling is a process that uses wonderful needles to create tiny holes in your skin. No numbing cream is used during this procedure, but that doesn’t mean it’s painful.
Instead, micro-needling creates controlled bleeding and collagen production in the skin, which helps reduce fine lines and scarring. This treatment also boosts collagen production, so your skin looks younger and firmer over time!
There is no downtime or recovery time associated with microneedling facial treatments; you can resume normal activities immediately after treatment ends.
It’s a fast procedure
The process is a quick one. Most people will experience it as relaxing; some may even fall asleep during the treatment. The actual procedure takes about 30 minutes to complete. Still, this time can vary depending on the number of rows needed and whether you’re getting any other treatments besides microneedling.
After the procedure, your face will be red and swollen. This is normal, but if it lasts longer than a few hours or becomes painful (which is rare), contact our doctor immediately so they can recommend something soothing for the affected area, like aloe vera gel or hyaluronic acid serum (to help hydrate).
Save time with no recovery time needed
No downtime, no recovery time needed. It’s fast! You can have your treatment done in just 20 to 45 minutes, depending on how many passes you want to do and walk out looking fresh-faced. If you need more than one session, they’ll be spaced far enough apart that there won’t be any visible scarring or bruising between them.
It can be done on a lunch break or right before work, for example, if you have an essential meeting that day and want to look refreshed beforehand!
Safety
The benefits of microneedling go beyond the surface. No matter how severe or mild your acne or wrinkles are, this treatment is safe and will work for you! The process is fully customizable and can be modified to fit your needs. You can get the same treatment you want for your skin and body type with a few simple tweaks.
Cheaper than other procedures.
Microneedling facials are comparatively cheaper than other similar procedures. The cost of microneedling is less than laser treatments, which can cost hundreds of dollars per session. It also costs less than dermal fillers, which can run you thousands of dollars if you’re planning a long-term maintenance plan.
Conclusion
Microneedling is a great way to get your skin looking its best. It’s less expensive than other procedures, saves time, and there’s no recovery time needed. This treatment can improve the appearance of acne scars and fine lines, reduce pore size, and make your skin smoother. Finally, because micro needling is safe with minimal side effects, some people choose it over other procedures like laser treatments or fillers that have more potential risks but also offer better results.
