Micro-needling

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin. Your healthcare provider uses thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin . These proteins keep your skin firm and smooth.

Most people get microneedling on their face, but you can also get it on your legs, back, neck or other areas where you notice damaged or aging skin. You’ll probably need multiple treatments to achieve your desired results.

How does microneedling work?

The pinpricks from microneedling cause slight injury to the skin, and the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue.This new skin tissue is more even in tone and texture. It’s common for the skin to lose collagen with age or injury. By encouraging the skin to make new tissue, additional collagen may help make the skin firmer.

Dermatologists may recommend microneedling with other treatments, such as topical serums, radiofrequency, or platelet-rich plasma. A dermatologist can explain additional treatment options and their estimated costs.

Longevity & Results:

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how long the results of treatment will last. Various factors can influence the durability of the outcomes. These include the individual’s skin type, the severity of their skin concern, their lifestyle, and the quality of their post-procedure skincare routine.
