What Is Microneedling?

In a microneedling procedure a device with an innovative tip composed of shallow, tiny needles is used to create therapeutic openings in the surface of the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the wound-healing process of the body, causing it to replace dead cells, produce more collagen and elastin, plump up the skin, and fill in lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. Results are completely natural, as the procedure uses the body’s own healing mechanism.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling can be performed on the face with remarkable benefits to the skin. This versatile treatment can be used to:

  • Reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles: Microneedling triggers the generation of new cells. With only a few sessions, crow’s feet, fine lines, and deep wrinkles on the forehead can be noticeably reduced. This minimally-invasive procedure can even help prevent new lines and wrinkles from forming.
  • Repair visible acne scars: Studies have shown that microneedling can produce marked improvement in visible acne scarring. As longer needles are needed for maximum results in treating severe acne scars, the procedure should be performed only by a board-certified plastic surgeon or a qualified healthcare professional.
  • Reverse sun damage and hyperpigmentation: This treatment stimulates collagen production to help reverse sun damage, discoloration, and the hyperpigmentation of melasma.
  • Rejuvenate aging skin: As we age, we produce less collagen, which accounts for signs of aging such as loose skin, lines, and wrinkles. Microneedling stimulates collagen production to tighten loose skin and smooth and fill in lines and wrinkles.
  • Shrink the pores: The process of microneedling stimulates production of collagen in and around the pores, which plumps the pores, causing them to appear smaller.
  • Cause skin care products to work better: Only a small percentage of products used on the face actually penetrate the skin. Microneedling greatly increases of absorption, allowing you to derive full benefit from expensive serums and high-end skin care products.
