#WhatIsWednesday: What is Microneedling?

 

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment in which the skin is repeatedly punctured by a series of tiny, sterile needles to stimulate the skin’s own collagen production. It’s also known as collagen induction therapy.

What is a common skin condition treated with microneedling?

Microneedling has been proven effective in improving the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks. It can also help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improve overall skin tone and texture.

What is the recovery from microneedling like?

There is no downtime needed following your microneedling treatment. You can return to your daily activities right away. However, you may experience some mild, temporary redness and it’s recommended that you reduce sun exposure and wear sunscreen for a few days following the procedure.

What is the expected outcome with microneedling?

Microneedling stimulates your skin to ramp up its collagen production, so new tissue will be generated. You will likely start to see improvement in tone and texture within two weeks, but it will take a few weeks for optimum results to set in. You’ll notice a smoother, younger-looking complexion and a visible improvement in the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
