Micro Needling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves creating tiny, controlled punctures in the skin using fine needles. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which leads to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

How Microneedling Works:

  1. Procedure:
    • A device with small needles, like a dermaroller or a specialized microneedling pen, is rolled or pressed over the skin.
    • The tiny punctures made by the needles create controlled damage, which the body repairs by generating new collagen and elastin.
    • A topical numbing cream is typically applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
  2. Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT):
    • The process of boosting collagen and elastin production is known as collagen induction therapy, which improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and helps with skin rejuvenation.

Benefits of Microneedling:

  1. Improves Skin Texture: Smooths out rough or uneven skin.
  2. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen production to help diminish signs of aging.
  3. Minimizes Scars: Particularly effective for acne scars and other types of superficial scarring.
  4. Shrinks Pores: Helps reduce the appearance of large pores.
  5. Improves Skin Tone: Evens out pigmentation and reduces the appearance of dark spots or sun damage.
  6. Increases Product Absorption: Enhances the penetration of skincare products applied after the procedure.

Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma):

  • A popular combination involves applying PRP, derived from the patient’s own blood, to the skin during microneedling. This enhances healing and maximizes collagen production for better results.

Recovery:

  • After microneedling, the skin may appear slightly red or swollen, similar to a mild sunburn, and this usually subsides within 1–2 days.
  • Proper aftercare includes gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen to protect the skin while it heals.

Results:

  • Visible improvements can be seen within a few weeks, and multiple sessions (typically 3–6 spaced 4–6 weeks apart) are often recommended for optimal results.

Candidates:

  • Suitable for most skin types and tones.
  • Not recommended for individuals with active skin infections, severe acne, or certain skin conditions such as eczema or rosacea.
