Tiny needles pricking your skin may sound painful but it is one of the latest skincare trends.
Microneedling is a multi-purpose treatment that rejuvenates your skin by addressing skin problems such as wrinkles, acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation, and stretch marks. Microneedling is a minimally invasive, dermaroller procedure that uses small needles to prick your skin. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger.
The treatment is a collagen booster and causes the skin tissues in a deeper layer of skin to rebuild, leaving you with smoother, firmer, more toned skin.
Microneedling is a highly endorsed treatment and here are some of its benefits:
1.Reduces the Signs of Aging
If you are looking for an effective way to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles then you might want to try microneedling.
After a few sessions of microneedling, there is increased production of collagen. As the collagen level increases your skin becomes tighter and smooth. Thus making your skin Wrinkle-free.
2. Treats Acne Scars
Acne scars can be stubborn and may last for several months or even years.
Microneedling has proven to be an effective method to heal acne scars. The process promotes the growth of new collagen in your skin, encouraging your skin to heal itself. You will see a noticeable reduction in acne scars after a few treatments.
3. Minimizes Open, Large pores
Dirt, excessive oil, sebum, and dead cells cause open and enlarged pores. Sometimes skincare products may worsen the enlarged pores and increase the pore-clogging.
Microneedling is an effective treatment with little or no downtime to improve skin texture and pore size. When the fine sterile needles penetrate the upper layers of the skin to a precisely controlled depth, it stimulates the skin healing and rejuvenation and gives the appearance of smaller pores and tighten skin.
4. Reduces Hyperpigmentation
With microneedling, you can reverse sun damage and discoloration like hyperpigmentation. Microneedling can reduce melasma effectively which is a condition that causes dark patches on the skin.
Microneedling safely lightens the skin and gives you an even-toned healthy complexion.
5. Gives you Glowy, Plump Look
Microneedling heals the damaged skin cells as well as encourages the production of new skin cells. It gives your skin a gorgeous, youthful glow and a more even skin tone overall.
Taking care of your skin after microneedling plays a way bigger role than you’d think. After the treatment your skin becomes dehydrated and it is necessary to hydrate your skin with Vitamin C or hyaluronic acid. So that your skin becomes visibly Glowy and plump.
Post Treatment Recovery Steps
Though the treatment does not require any downtime, still there are some steps to consider for fast recovery:
- Use hyaluronic acid, moisturizers with ceramides, and hydrating face mists
- Avoid deep exfoliation and heavy layered makeup
- For mild swelling and redness, apply an ice pack
- Use good skincare products
- Avoid direct sun exposure
- Use 30+ sunscreen
