Microneedling
Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that involves puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles to promote collagen production and improve the skin’s texture and appearance. The process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
The technique has been around for over 25 years, initially developed by a German dermatologist, Dr. Michael Pistor, in the late 1980s. It was initially called “percutaneous collagen induction” and was used to treat scars and wrinkles. Since then, the treatment has evolved, and various devices have been created to make the process more efficient and comfortable. Today, microneedling is a popular cosmetic procedure that is commonly used for a range of skin issues, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling has numerous benefits for the skin, some of which include
Stimulating collagen production
Microneedling helps to boost collagen production in the skin, which can improve the skin’s elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Increasing skin absorption
Microneedling can enhance the absorption of topical skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin and be more effective.
Reducing the appearance of scars
Microneedling can be effective in reducing the appearance of scars caused by acne, surgery, or injury.
Improving skin texture
Microneedling can help to smooth out rough or uneven skin texture, making the skin appear smoother and more youthful.
Improving skin tone
Microneedling can help to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage.
