Microneedling is a popular procedure that can offer a variety of benefits. If you’re considering this procedure, it’s helpful to know what to expect.
What Is It?
Microneedling is often used to stimulate collagen production in the skin and it is most commonly used on the face. It takes advantage of the skin’s natural ability to heal itself. Microneedling repeatedly creates tiny punctures in the skin with small, sterile needles and as the “wounds” from the punctures heal themselves it leads to an increase in collagen production. This extra production of collagen heals the skin and can offer a variety of benefits.
Benefits
Microneedling is used to treat several different skin conditions. It helps to rejuvenate the skin. First of all, it helps to reduce the appearance of any flaws on the skin. These include acne scars, lines, wrinkles, and more. Microneedling is also used to treat uneven skin tone. It can treat uneven pigmentation, dark spots, and any other discoloration issues. While the primary goal of microneedling is dealing with the skin, it’s also used to promote the growth of hair. This is particularly useful for those struggling with alopecia. Microneedling is useful for a variety of issues which is why it’s so popular to use. It’s also cheaper than other therapies such as laser therapy and it is often the preferred method for dealing with skin issues.
After Your Procedure
Once you’ve undergone microneedling, you want to make sure you care for your skin. Avoid extended sun exposure so you don’t receive any damage. You may also want to use more gentle skin products for the first week. Since microneedling is not a heavily invasive procedure, you can return to work, school, and other activities immediately. Keep in mind that you may also experience some side effects. Microneedling is essentially “injuring” your skin. This means your skin may be sensitive for a while. You may also experience bleeding, bruising, or even infections. If you notice any of these side effects, you should notify your doctor.
Microneedling is a very common procedure that can give your skin a more youthful and rejuvenated look. It’s an easy and safe procedure that is worth trying. Make sure your technician is only using the safest and FDA-cleared microneedling devices, to ensure the health of your skan and quality of results.
