Microneedling is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that involves the use of a device with tiny needles to create controlled injuries in the skin. This triggers the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that give skin its structure and elasticity. As a result, microneedling can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.
The procedure is typically performed by a trained and licensed medical professional in a medical or spa setting. A numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort. The microneedling device is then passed over the skin, creating tiny punctures in the surface. The depth of the needles can be adjusted to target specific skin concerns and enhance the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
After the procedure, the skin may be red and slightly swollen, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days. Most people see improvement in the texture and tone of their skin after just one treatment, although multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal results.
Microneedling is a safe and effective option for those looking to improve the appearance of their skin. Get in touch today to determine if microneedling is right for you.
