What is Microneedling Treatment?
Microneedling treatment is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that stimulates the natural healing process of the skin by creating tiny punctures with fine needles. It’s ideal for individuals who want to improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles, pores, stretch marks, or pigmentation.
Why Microneedling Treatment?
Microneedling treatment is a popular option for individuals who want to achieve smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin, without the use of chemicals or surgery. Microneedling treatment can also enhance the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products, such as serums, creams, or masks.
The Treatment Procedure
The microneedling treatment procedure consists of the following steps:
- Consultation: A healthcare provider will assess your skin type, medical history, and aesthetic goals, and determine the appropriate needle size, depth, and speed for you.
- Preparation: You will be advised to avoid certain medications, supplements, and alcohol for a few days before the treatment, and to arrive with a clean and moisturised face.
- Numbing: A topical anaesthetic cream will be applied to your face, to minimise any discomfort during the procedure.
- Microneedling: The provider will use a device with a sterile needle cartridge, to glide over your face, creating micro-channels in the skin. The device will be adjusted according to the different areas and concerns of your face, such as the forehead, cheeks, nose, or chin.
- Aftercare: You will be given detailed instructions on how to care for your skin after the treatment, such as avoiding water, sun exposure, and makeup for the first 24 hours, and applying a soothing ointment regularly. You will also be scheduled for a follow-up appointment to assess the results and recommend further treatments if needed.
Benefits of Microneedling Treatment
The micro-needling treatment offers several benefits, such as:
- Improved Appearance: Microneedling treatment can improve the texture, elasticity, and clarity of your skin, giving you a more youthful, radiant, and flawless look.
- Minimal Downtime: Microneedling treatment is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure, which means you can resume your normal activities right after the treatment, with no scarring or recovery time.
- Natural Results: Microneedling treatment stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, which are the key components of healthy and youthful skin.
Potential Side Effects
While generally safe, micro-needling treatment can cause some side effects, such as:
- Pain and Bleeding: During the procedure, which can be reduced with numbing cream and pressure.
- Swelling and Redness: After the procedure, which usually subside within a few days.
- Dryness and Peeling: As the skin heals, which can be prevented with proper moisturising and avoiding picking or scratching.
- Infection and Allergic Reactions: Which are rare, but require immediate medical attention.
