Microneedling: What It Is & How It Works
If you’re dreaming of smooth, radiant skin, microneedling can make that a reality. This minimally invasive skin treatment is known for its range of benefits, including reducing the appearance of scars and wrinkles, and improving skin texture.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a skin treatment designed to address various concerns such as acne scars, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, large pores, and excess oil.
Benefits of Microneedling
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
- Minimized scars and stretch marks
Most patients start seeing results within 10 days of treatment. Although results vary based on complexity of skin concerns, it’s generally recommended to receive 3 consecutive microneedling treatments 4-6 weeks apart for the best outcomes.
What Does Microneedling Do?
Microneedling works by using tiny needles to make small punctures in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, creating more collagen and elastin in your skin, resulting in softer, smoother skin.
