Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy. It is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These “micro-injuries” stimulate the body’s natural wound healing processes, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the procedure and its benefits:
How Microneedling Works
1. Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure. This takes about 20 minutes.
2. Microneedling Device: This sterilized device used to create microscopic punctures in the skin.
3. Treatment: The device is gently rolled or pressed over the skin, creating uniform micro-injuries allowing improved penetration of your preferred treatment product. Mrs Webb Aesthetic uses AnteAGE products.
4. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, soothing serums or growth factors are applied to enhance healing and results
Benefits of Microneedling
– Collagen and Elastin Production: Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are crucial for maintaining firm, youthful skin.
– Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores.
– Scar Reduction: Effective in treating acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of scarring.
– Reduces Hyperpigmentation: Can help in fading hyperpigmentation and sun spots.
– Enhances Product Absorption: Increases the absorption and efficacy of topical skincare products applied after the procedure
Applications
– Facial Rejuvenation: Commonly used to address signs of aging and improve overall skin appearance.
– Acne and Scar Treatment: Effective in reducing the visibility of acne scars, surgical scars and other types of scars.
– Stretch Marks: Used to improve the appearance of stretch marks on various parts of the body.
– Hair Growth: Sometimes used on the scalp to promote hair growth and treat hair thinning or baldness.
Side Effects and Risks
– Redness and Swelling: Temporary redness and swelling are common immediately after the procedure.
– Minor Bleeding and Bruising: Small amounts of bleeding and bruising can occur, especially with deeper treatments.
– Infection Risk: There’s a small risk of infection if proper hygiene and post-care instructions are not followed.
– Skin Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity and potential for irritation post-treatment.
Recovery and Results
– Recovery Time: Recovery is typically quick, with most redness and swelling subsiding within 3 days. Some patients may experience peeling or flaking as the skin heals.
– Visible Results: Improvements in skin texture and tone can often be seen within a few weeks, with continued improvements over several months as collagen production increases.
– Number of Sessions: Multiple sessions (usually 3-6) spaced several weeks apart are often recommended for optimal results.
Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can be customized to address various skin concerns, making it a popular choice for those seeking to improve their skin’s appearance without undergoing more invasive procedures.
