Microneedling 

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that creates tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate the body's natural healing process, which increases collagen and elastin production to improve skin concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation. The procedure uses a handheld device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries, followed by the application of creams or serums to enhance results. It is performed by dermatologists or trained aestheticians, typically requires multiple sessions, and involves aftercare to protect sensitive, healing skin.
 

    How it Works

• 1. Micro-Punctures:

  A device, such as a pen-shaped instrument or a rolling tool, moves across the skin, creating thousands of microscopic punctures. 

​

• 2. Collagen & Elastin Stimulation:

  These tiny wounds trigger the body's natural healing response, prompting the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. 

​

• 3. Improved Skin Texture:

  The increased collagen and elastin strengthen the skin, leading to a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and an improvement in overall skin firmness and texture. 

​

      Benefits

• Reduces Scars: Effectively minimizes the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring. 

• Diminishes Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Stimulates collagen to make skin look smoother and more youthful. 

• Improves Hyperpigmentation: Helps create a more uniform skin tone by generating new skin cells and reducing dark spots. 

• Firms and Tightens Skin: Boosts skin elasticity and firmness. 

• Enhances Product Absorption: The channels created by the needles allow serums and creams applied afterward to penetrate the skin more deeply, increasing their effectiveness. 

​

      The Procedure

• A numbing cream is applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. 

• A professional then uses a microneedling device to make small injuries in the skin. 

• A topical serum, sometimes including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), may be applied to the skin. 

​

      Aftercare

• Sun Protection:

  Protect skin from direct sun exposure for at least two weeks after the treatment. 

• Avoid Irritants:

  Stay away from vitamin A products (like retinol), chemical peels, and exfoliating products for at least a week. 

• Gentle Cleansing:

  Use a gentle cleanser and avoid heavy or harsh products on the treated area. 

• Avoid Heat:

  Stay away from strenuous exercise, hot tubs, saunas, and steam baths on the day of the treatment or until the skin irritation resolves.
