An overview of microneedling

Microneedling is an aesthetic treatment that physicians use to stimulate collagen production by triggering your body’s natural healing powers. The procedure involves creating microscopic holes in your skin using sterilized needles. The minor wounds seal off after four hours allowing the skin rejuvenation process to occur within the next few days. The technique is minimally invasive, meaning that the recovery period is considerably short, and you can resume your daily activities whenever you feel ready. Board-certified dermatologists utilize microneedling to enhance skin elasticity, reduce signs of aging and resolve skin pigmentation. If you no longer want to look in the mirror and cringe because of your skin imperfections, you may want to consider microneedling. You may also be eligible for the procedures if your skin flaws don’t respond to home care remedies.

How microneedling works

During your initial appointment, your provider performs a thorough physical exam and discusses your beauty goals. The team then prepares a beauty plan to help you achieve your goals. During your treatment, your doctor pricks your skin to make many tiny wounds on your skin that stimulate your body to manufacture more collagen. As you age or get injured, your skin may lose elasticity. Cell regeneration makes your skin look firmer and more toned. Your provider may also recommend combining microneedling with platelet-rich plasma, topical serum, and radiofrequency to maximize your results. A board-certified dermatologist can help you make crucial decisions about your skin treatment to ensure that you enhance your appearance with minimal complications and side effects.

What to expect after microneedling

After your treatment, you should expect mild side effects such as redness, peeling, and swelling due to the tiny wounds, but they fade within a few days. Your provider may advise against using anti-inflammatory medication, as it may interfere with the intended process. Superficial healing after a microneedling session occurs after two days, while full recovery may take about two months. Other side effects include dry skin, bumps, and breakouts. Gently cleansing and following your provider’s instructions can minimize the side effects. You may also need sun protection every time you step outside and apply antibiotic cream to prevent infection.

Your doctor may also advise against using skin care products such as vitamin C, Retinols, and exfoliantsLuckily, microneedling has a considerably short downtime compared to other aesthetic procedures as they aggravate your side effects. Although walking around with a red face may be weird at first, covering it with makeup is one of the worst decisions you should avoid. The makeup blocks the new skin cells’ pores, resulting in an outbreak. You should be patient for about two days before applying makeup to your face.
