What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a procedure that has been around for many decades but is now being re-introduced to patients the world over. The reason for its renewed popularity is primarily due to many celebrities bringing attention to the procedure. Microneedling is essentially a set of 12 needles that barely pierce the skin rapidly to reduce the appearance of acne scars, age spots, and most other facial abnormalities associated with aging.
How Invasive is Microneedling?
Facelifts, nose jobs, and other facial beautification techniques can be quite invasive. Microneedling is only slightly invasive and many attribute the procedure to the experience of getting a tattoo. There is a mild reaction from the needles that produces a reddening affect, but after 24 hours, most redness is completely gone. Microneedling takes around 45 minutes or up to an hour per session, so it is ideal for those with a busy schedule.
How Does it Improve Skin?
It may not make sense to some that poking the skin with needles would improve and smooth out its appearance, but Microneedling does just that. As we age, collagen production is slowed. Collagen is our bodies natural way of looking younger. Microneedling provides a mild stimulant to the face to increase collagen production and promote healing. After just one treatment, patients notice a difference, but for full results, Believe Aesthetics recommends multiple treatments.
Patients with melasma and other pigment oriented skin issues benefit greatly from Microneedling as the process does not utilize heat in the needles. Heat, such as with many laser treatments, can agitate melasma making the pigmentation more pronounced. Microneedling is the gentle approach for those looking to improve their appearance with minimal downtime.
Stretch Marks
Although most Microneedling procedures take place on the face, other areas of the body can benefit from the treatment as well. Microneedling has been known to help improve the appearance of stretch marks throughout the body.
