Microneedling
Microneedling is a highly effective method used to treat a variety of skin conditions.
A Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
This technique involves the use of multiple tiny, sterile needles to puncture the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. These micro-injuries stimulate the deeper layer of the skin (the dermis) to produce collagen and repair itself.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling increases collagen and other healing factors by triggering the skin’s natural healing process. Collagen is an essential protein that keeps skin firm, smooth, and youthful. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to the development of wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Microneedling encourages the skin to rebuild itself, helping to restore its natural elasticity and texture.
It is important to note that microneedling is not an instant solution. Because it stimulates new skin growth, results become more visible over time, with optimal improvements seen after several months.
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling can help address numerous skin concerns, including:
-
Wrinkles and fine lines
-
Acne and other scarring
-
Alopecia
-
Hyperpigmentation and skin tone irregularities
-
Stretch marks
-
Loose or sagging skin (e.g., post-weight loss)
-
Rosacea
-
Overall skin rejuvenation
Additionally, microneedling allows for deeper penetration of topical treatments such as tretinoin and vitamin C, enhancing their effectiveness in treating conditions like acne scarring.
Possible Side Effects & Risks
Microneedling is generally considered safe, but some temporary side effects may occur, including:
Mild swelling
Redness or irritation
Dryness and flaking
Bruising or slight discomfort at the treatment site
While uncommon, deeper treatments may cause minor bleeding. Those with bleeding disorders or on blood-thinning medications should consult a practitioner before undergoing treatment.
In rare cases, more serious side effects can include:
Infection
Skin pigmentation changes
Reaction to topical products used during the procedure
Burns (in treatments involving heat-based devices)
Certain individuals may not be suitable candidates for microneedling, including those with active acne, skin infections, keloid scarring, or unstable skin conditions.
