Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s used to treat skin concerns via collagen production. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment may help those looking to reduce the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.
Some dermatologists use to treat different skin conditions. The technique involves using multiple tiny, sterile needles to puncture the skin and cause physical trauma.
This trauma prompts the derma, a deeper layer of skin, to rebuild.
Microneedling is a procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin.
The purpose of treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin.
Microneedling may help address many skin-related complaints, including:


  • fine lines and wrinkles
  • alopecia
  • acne scars
  • age spots
  • large pores
  • scars
  • reduced skin elasticity
  • uneven skin tone
  • skin pigmentation issues
  • stretch marks
  • rosacea
  • it may also help rejuvenate the skin
  • loose skin, such as after weight loss or liposuction

In addition, professionals can use microneedling to deposit medication, such as topical tretinoin ur vitamin C, deeper into the skin. This can boost the treatment of a variety of issues, including acne scarring.
Microneedling is primarily used on the face.
In addition to facial concerns, microneedling is sometimes used to treat stretch marks in other areas of the body. Microneedling was effective for stretch marks on the thighs and abdominal area when combined with fillers.
Scarring on other body parts may also be treated with this procedure.
Safety:

Microneedling is minimally invasive, requiring no downtime.
It’s considered safe for most people who are in overall good health.
You’ll experience minor redness and irritation for a few days after the procedure.

Microneedling risks

Like all cosmetic procedures, microneedling has some risk. The most common side effect is minor skin irritation immediately following the procedure. You may also see redness for a few days. Call your practician if you notice more severe side effects, such as:

  • swelling
  • discomfort at the site
  • redness
  • bruising
  • dryness
  • flaking of the skin
  • peeling

Bleeding is an uncommon reaction to microneedling, though it may be more likely to occur after a deeper treatment.
Bleeding may also be more of a risk for people who have bleeding disorders or who are taking blood-thinning medications. It is important to disclose this information to a doctor before receiving this treatment.
There is also a risk of more serious side effects, including:

  • infection
  • skin pigment changes
  • reaction to topical medications used during treatment

Some devices involve additional risks. Those that use energy or heat can increase the likelihood of burns.

Microneedling benefits

1. Reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles
The tiny injuries from a microneedling session boost collagen and elastin production to fight lines and wrinkles.

Collagen and elastin are compounds in your skin that add structure and strength, lending a youthful quality. The wound-healing mechanisms also stimulate your body to produce new skin cells, making fine lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles less apparent.

2. Scar treatment

Because microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, it’s also super effective in addressing acne and other scars on your skin. The only type of scar not possible to treat is keloid, or raised, scars.

3. Sun spots

Microneedling is effective in reducing the appearance of sun damage, particularly hyperpigmentation and age spots. If you have a blotchy, brownish complexion, which is probably a result of too many days of sunning, microneedling and its ability to stimulate new collagen and skin cells can reinvigorate your look and even out your tone.

4. Anti aging

As you get older, your skin loses its elasticity, so it appears lax. Aging skin may also look dull and lack a lustrous glow. Microneedling can change this.
The buildup of collagen that occurs in response to the tiny wounds can improve skin structure to fight sagging. Plus, just 24 hours following a session, you experience a radiant, fresh glow.

5. Shrinks pores

Despite the fact that microneedling involves punching holes in your skin, it doesn’t increase the size of your pores. In fact, it helps your pores appear much smaller. When the collagen around your pores is stimulated, the area around each pore plumps, making the pore itself almost disappear.

6. Improves the effectiveness of topical products

Post-microneedling is the prime time to apply anti-aging treatments, moisturizers, and other topical treatments that boost skin health and appearance. The micro-holes receive creams, serums, and gels more readily and deliver them deeper into your dermis than when applied regularly.

7. Fights stretch marks

Microneedling can be effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks that show up after periods of rapid growth, such as during pregnancy.
Microneedling works just about anywhere on your body.

8. Rosacea reduction

The ruddiness and skin thickening of rosacea can be addressed with microneedling. If you suffer from this skin condition, you experience a hastened breakdown of collagen. Microneedling stimulates the growth of collagen to offset and replace this breakdown, so your skin looks less inflamed and irritated.

9. Acne Improvements

Because of the improved delivery of topical applications, you can use microneedling to help improve the effectiveness of topical acne treatments. Regular microneedling applications can help your skin clear up.

10. Fewer side effects than laser or intensive peels

Microneedling’s effects are comparable to laser and chemical peel treatments but without the long downtime. You can enjoy a glowing complexion 24-72 hours after microneedling, but with laser resurfacing, your recovery may take three to 10 days. Your complexion needs 14-21 days to bounce back after a medium or intensive peel.

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. The idea is that pinpricks from the procedure cause slight injury to the skin and that the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue.

This new skin tissue is, in turn, more even in tone and texture. It’s normal for the skin to lose collagen via age or injury. By encouraging the skin to make new tissue, there may be more collagen to help make the skin firmer, too.

Microneedling increases the production of collagen and other healing factors by causing trauma to the skin.

Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, with a firm, smooth, and stretchy texture.

It is important to realize that microneedling is not a quick fix, as it involves the growth of new skin. It can take several months for a person to see the full results of the procedure.

What to expect after microneedling

You may notice skin irritation and redness within the first few days following the procedure. This is a natural response to the small «injuries» made by the needles in your skin.

You can go back to work or school after the procedure if you’re comfortable. Your skin will also be more sensitive to the sun, so use sun block.

After microneedling, your skin works fairly quickly to rejuvenate new tissue. In theory, you should see results within a couple of weeks.

To maintain the results of your treatment, you’ll need multiple sessions and perhaps other complementing treatments.
