Microneedling:
Benefits, Process, and Aftercar
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling offers numerous benefits, making it popular for those looking to enhance their skin’s texture and appearance. Here are some of the main advantages:
1. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, creating a more youthful look.
2. Improves Skin Texture and Tone
If you’re dealing with uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, or rough skin texture, microneedling can help. The controlled micro-injuries encourage new, healthy skin cell growth for a smoother, brighter complexion.
3. Reduces Scarring
Microneedling is particularly effective at minimising the appearance of acne scars and other types of facial scarring by promoting skin cell regeneration in the scarred areas.
4. Enhances Product Absorption
The micro-channels created during the treatment allow skincare products, such as serums and moisturisers, to penetrate deeper, making them more effective.
What to Expect During the Microneedling Treatment
During the treatment, a trained aesthetician will cleanse your skin thoroughly and may apply a numbing cream for added comfort. The microneedling device, equipped with tiny needles, is gently rolled across the skin, creating tiny punctures. You may experience a mild pricking sensation, but the numbing cream helps reduce any discomfort.
The treatment typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You may notice some redness and slight swelling immediately afterward, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within a day or two.
Aftercare Tips for Best Results
To maximize your microneedling results, follow these essential aftercare steps:
1. Avoid Sun Exposure
After microneedling, your skin is more sensitive, so avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ daily to protect the skin.
2. Keep Skin Moisturized
Use a gentle, hydrating serum and moisturizer to keep your skin moisturized during the healing process. Avoid any products with active ingredients like retinol or glycolic acid for at least 48 hours.
3. Avoid Makeup and Exfoliants
Avoid wearing makeup for 24-48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation. Steer clear of exfoliating products for a week to allow your skin to heal fully.
4. Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water helps your skin heal and can further improve your results.
