What is microneedling?
In recent years, microneedling treatment has gained popularity thanks to its skincare and aesthetic benefits. It is also known as skin needling. The procedure has been used to improve the appearance of pigmentation, fine lines and acne scars. Advancements in medical technology have improved the procedure, making it tolerable and effective.
As a minimally invasive procedure, microneedling promotes collagen production. The procedure uses a cartridge containing sterile, fine tip needles in a motorized pen. The treatment can be individualized for each patient. The speed and depth of the needles are controlled based on skin type, texture, and thickness. The needles pierce the skin triggering collagen production as the skin heals itself.
Skin benefits of microneedling
For patients who are familiar with laser treatments for skin rejuvenation, microneedling has several advantages.
- Stimulate collagen production as the skin heals. Microneedling produces a basket weave pattern which gives the skin a natural, smooth appearance.
- Since the epidermis remains intact, less downtime is required, and healing is faster with microneedling treatments.
- Microneedling is used to improve the appearance of fine lines, and scars. Microneedling can improve tone and texture of the skin.
- Although the skin is improved after a single microneedling treatment, patients can achieve optimal results through a series of treatments.
