What is Microneedling and What are the Benefits?
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a microneedling device or “pen” with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. The treatment is used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete. During the procedure, the “micro-injuries” in the skin will trigger the body's natural healing process, which leads to the production of new collagen and elastin, two proteins that help to plump and firm the skin, improving the skin’s overall appearance. Microneedling is safe and effective. with minimal downtime and few side effects. It is usually done in a series of treatments for optimal results. The recovery process after microneedling varies from person to person. Most people experience some redness and mild swelling for a day or two after the procedure.
