Microneedling

Microneedling

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin that stimulates collagen production.

It may help smooth, firm, and tone skin and improve the appearance of scars, acne, and wrinkles.

Microneedling is mostly used on the face and it may reduce the appearance of acne, scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and large pores.

How does microneedling works?

Microneedling increases the production of collagen and other healing factors by causing trauma to the skin.

Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, with a firm, smooth, and stretchy texture.

Aging causes the decline of collagen in the skin, contributing to wrinkles and other signs of aging.

It is important to realize that microneedling is not a quick fix, as it involves the growth of new skin. It can take several months for a person to see the full results of the procedure.

Microdermabrasion and microneedling, what is the difference?

Microneedling and microdermabrasion are both procedures to improve the look and texture of your skin. But needles are not used in case of microdermabrasion.

Instead, a healthcare provider uses a device with a rough edge, like sandpaper, to exfoliate the uppermost layer of your skin.

Microneedling goes deeper into your skin than microdermabrasion, so it might work better for problems beneath the surface, such as acne scars.

Who gets microneedling?

The people with the following concerns can get microneedling done:

  • Enlarged pores
  • Fine lines or wrinkles
  • Loose or crepey skin
  • Mild scars caused by acne
  • Discoloration or uneven skin tone
  • Stretch marks

How is microneedling done?

Your healthcare provider cleans your skin and applies a numbing cream or ointment.

Next, your healthcare provider uses a hand-held roller or an electric tool to make the wounds in your skin.

The pinpricks from microneedling cause slight injury to the skin, and the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue.

This new skin tissue is more even in tone and texture. It’s common for the skin to lose collagen with age or injury. By encouraging the skin to make new tissue, additional collagen may help make the skin firmer.

What is the optimal care for skin after microneedling?

During the first week, kindly avoid the following as these further irritate the skin:

  • Sun exposure
  • Skin care products with alpha hydroxy acids and retinol
  • Makeup
  • Sweating

Help the healing process by doing the following;

  • Stay hydrated
  • Using an antioxidant serum
  • Using a cooling mask
  • Using collagen stimulating supplements 

How many sessions of microneedling do I need for acne scars?

Treatment plans vary from person to person, but research has shown mild improvement in post-acne scarring after just two microneedling sessions.

After six sessions, people saw moderate improvement in their skin texture and good enhancement of scar appearance.

What are the pros and cons of microneedling?

Pros: Microneedling can be less costly than plastic surgery and may help you achieve lasting results.

Cons: You may need multiple sessions to maintain your results.

Microneedling is generally a safe and effective procedure that can improve the appearance of the skin. It may reduce wrinkles, diminish scarring, and tighten or rejuvenate loose or aging skin.

Anyone interested in microneedling should consult a dermatologist or doctor who is specially trained and experienced in these types of procedures.
