Microneedling

Microneedling therapy is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles.

The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury, which in turn, stimulates the production of collagen.

Microneedling Benefits

Microneedling may help with issues like:

  • Acne
  • Hair loss (also called alopecia)
  • Dark spots or patches on your skin (hyperpigmentation)
  • Large pores
  • Reduced skin elasticity
  • Scars
  • Stretch marks
  • Sun damage
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

 

What Happens Next?

 

The procedure usually takes 10-20 minutes, depending on how big the area is. Most people need 4-6 treatments to see a difference.

 

You may notice skin irritation and redness within the first few days following the procedure.

This is a natural response to the small “injuries” made by the needles in your skin.

Your skin will also be more sensitive to the sun, so sunscreen is a must.
