Microneedling, which is also known as collagen induction therapy, skin needling and derma rolling. It is one of the most popular solutions if you want to minimize fine lines, skin appearance, and improve the health of your skin, and boost your skin. But what is it, how it works, its benefits, let’s discuss.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive technique which involves making microscopic cuts in the skin’s surface with fine needles. The body’s natural wound-healing mechanism is stimulated by these micro-injuries, which also promote the synthesis of elastin and collagen in the body. The vital protein collagen keeps the skin soft, elastic, and youthful-looking. It is also known as collagen induction therapy.
It treats for:
- Stretch marks
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone
How Does Microneedling Work?
Here are the following steps of how its work:
1. Preparation
The first step is to prepare your skin. First of all, the doctor cleanses the patient’s skin and then applies anesthesia so that the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort. The purpose of cleaning the skin is to remove products like dirt or makeup.
2. Microneedling process
In this step a derma roller or microneedling pen device is used. Then the devices are slowly rotated on the skin and then small sheds are formed in the second layer of the skin where collagen or elastic is produced.
3. Collagen induction
The skin can start healing itself due to the tiny pores made during the treatment. This involves the production of collagen and elastin, which enhance the skin’s overall health, texture, and appearance over time.
4. Aftercare and recovery
The body starts to heal after the procedure, and new skin cells start to replace the old ones. There will be a few hours before the tiny pores start to close. During this time your skin gradually enhances texture and tone.
5. Results
A smoother and more radiant skin may be apparent a few days after treatment, but as collagen and elastin synthesis increases, the full effects usually show up in four to six weeks. It can take several sessions to get the best results.
