MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body's natural healing process and collagen production. 

Microneedling is effective in treating various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, scar indentation enlarged pores, stretch marks, and overall improvement in skin texture and tone. 

The tiny needles used in microneedling create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture, firmness, and a reduction in the appearance of imperfections.

Microneedling may cause some discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated. Topical numbing cream is applied before each procedure to minimize any potential discomfort. 

The duration of a microneedling session varies but typically ranges from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated and the specific device used. 

The number of sessions needed varies based on individual skin concerns and the desired results. Many people see improvements after the first session, but a series of three to four treatments, usually spaced several weeks apart, may be recommended for optimal results. 

There is usually some redness and mild swelling immediately after microneedling, but downtime is minimal. Most people can resume regular activities within a day or two. The skin may appear slightly pink for a short period.

Microneedling is generally safe for all skin types. However, individuals with certain skin conditions, active infections, or a history of keloid scarring may not be suitable candidates. A consultation with a skincare professional is essential to determine suitability. 

It's important to follow post-care instructions provided by your skincare professional. In many cases, a gentle skincare routine is recommended, and certain products, especially those containing retinoids or exfoliating acids, should be avoided for a period after the procedure. 

Results from microneedling are long-lasting, and improvements in skin texture and tone can be noticeable for several months. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the benefits over time. Individual results may vary.
