Microneedling Benefits
Microneedling is used to treat multiple skin conditions such as
Wrinkle
Scarring
Acne
Alopecia
Skin Pigmentation Issues
Stretch Marks
Rosacea
Reduction in the appearance of large pores
How does Microneedling work?
Microneedling increases the production of collagen and other healing factors by causing trauma to the skin.
Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, with a firm, smooth, and stretchy texture.
Aging causes the decline of collagen in the skin, contributing to wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Skin can also lose collagen due to injuries, such as acne scarring, stretch marks, or other scars.
What are the risks?
Microneedling is relatively safe as it is a minimally invasive procedure. The primary risk is skin irritation after the procedure. Other side effects could include:
swelling
discomfort at the site
redness
bruising
dryness
flaking of the skin
Bleeding is an uncommon reaction to microneedling, though it may be more likely to occur after a deeper treatment.
Bleeding may also be more of a risk for people who have bleeding disorders or who are taking blood-thinning medications. It is important to disclose this information to a doctor before receiving this treatment.
There is also a risk of more serious side effects, including:
infection
skin pigment changes
reaction to topical medications used during treatment
