Microneedling is a cosmetic surgery that includes using tiny needles to make small, controlled punctures in the skin. This minimally invasive treatment, also known as collagen induction therapy, increases collagen formation, addressing a variety of skin issues such as scars, dark spots, and skin suppleness.If you’re worried about pain or have a needle phobia, know that microneedling is generally not painful. At Cosmique, your dermatologist will use a numbing cream before the treatment.During the procedure, controlled and small punctures are made in the epidermis of your skin, stimulating a natural healing response in the upper layer of your dermis. This response causes the skin to produce elastin and collagen. Let’s explore some of the surprising micro-needling benefits on your skin.
Benefits of Microneedling on Your Skin
Treat your skin problems with advanced treatment of microneedling. Check out seven surprising benefits of using this therapy on your skin:
-
Reduces Wrinkles and Visible ageing signs
You may say goodbye to fine lines, wrinkles, and other symptoms of ageing by stimulating collagen formation with micro-needling, and hello to tighter skin and increased suppleness. A few sessions will dramatically transform the look of your face. Therefore, if one is seeking authentic anti-ageing results, then boosting collagen and elastin production should be a key concern.
-
Encourages Beard Growth
Individuals with sparse facial hair might use microneedling to achieve a fuller, less patchy beard. While it takes time to see results, regular stimulation with the optimum needle size can result in greater hair growth.This does not concern women, generally, except for those who have excessive hair growth in some areas at all times. Microneedling should also be avoided in an area where enough hair growth already exists in order not to stimulate more hair in the same region.
-
Reduces the Appearance of Stretch Marks, Loose Skin, and Cellulite
Stretch marks are usually caused by fast skin stretching, which is prevalent in people who have had weight swings or have given birth. Although difficult to remove, microneedling with a 1.5mm or larger needle may significantly decrease or erase stretch marks from numerous body places. It is advisable to use large needles like 1.5mm, 2 mm, and even 2.5mm on the stretch marks. Fortunately, most of them would not be painful, and some might necessitate a treatment only once every 6 – 8 weeks.
-
Addresses Pigmentation Problems
Sunlight exposure, acne, scarring, and unusual melanocyte production can all contribute to hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and darker skin tones. Microneedling, by stimulating the superficial skin layer, can stimulate the development of normal melanocytes, thus resolving various pigment-related issues.
-
Minimizes Enlarged Pores
One of the micro-needling benefits on your skin is it’s applicable for open pores treatment on your skin. Enlarged pores, which are commonly observed on the nose and cheeks, can be treated at home with a 0.25mm derma roller. Use the roller three times each week for best results. This approach thickens the epidermal layer by increasing collagen production.
-
Get Smooth Skin
Weekly microneedling sessions can result in visibly healthier and smoother skin for those who desire soft and smooth skin. While apparent improvements may take several sessions, people looking for smoother skin frequently notice a difference in texture after the first session.
-
Increases the Absorption of Topical Products
Microneedling before applying skincare products is a well-known procedure for increasing absorption and allowing items to penetrate deeper into the skin. Inadequate absorption could be the cause of skincare serums not performing as planned. For this particular reason, a small needle diameter like that of a derma roller measuring 0.25mm is best prescribed if you want to use it for topical skincare absorption. With this thickness, it can be used about 3 times a week without harming the body while at the same time being among the most efficient microneedling devices available.
Note however that not every skin product is suitable for application straight after the microneedling procedure. People with sensitive skin may be uncomfortable with strong substances such as retinol and Vitamin C for twelve to twenty-four hours post-microneedling.
Conclusion
Microneedling or Collagen induction therapy is one of the safest and most adaptable cosmetic surgeries which can be done on virtually every single person. Microneedling may be used when one desires the brightening of the skin, fewer wrinkles and fine lines, cell regeneration, as well as overall skin rejuvenation. A minimally intrusive treatment that involves controlled micropuncture of the skin to trigger autologous healing response and induce collagen production.
