Top Benefits of Microneedling

If you are looking to reclaim your youthful appearance, you might want to consider microneedling.

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that can help renew and rejuvenate your skin. It can help reduce discoloration, prompt plumpness, and maintain even skin tones. It is an effective procedure that only takes an hour, yet the results are pretty amazing.

Microneedling Process

Microneedling is also referred to as collagen induction therapy. It involves using tiny fine needles to prick into your skin, creating various puncture wounds or micro-injuries. The process may sound scary, but it is very effective.

The micro-injuries, or wounds, created trigger the body to start the healing process by forming new tissues. Also, the body reacts by increasing the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin promote hyperpigmentation and scar healing. In the end, the aging signs get eliminated, leaving your skin looking younger and more appealing.

The process is similar to lasers, but your doctor does not use light or heat in this case. After the procedure, you may notice that the wrinkles are reduced, and the skin may appear to have a pink glow. It may take at least four weeks for the skin to synthesize with the new collagen, but this is after you have undergone three to six treatment sessions.

The process is not painful, but you may notice some redness and minor bleeding where the needles were inserted. The residual bleeding and redness only take about a day. If you notice any abnormal changes, you should inform your doctor.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

Some of the benefits of microneedling include:

• Younger and Rejuvenated Skin: As you age, your skin loses some of its collagen, leading to loss of volume, elasticity, and firmness. With microneedling, your skin gets smooth and softer. That is due to collagen and elastin, which reduce wrinkles. Through this process, you look younger.
   

• Reduces Acne and Acne Scars: Though acne gets associated with teenagers, it often progresses into adulthood. Getting rid of the acne and the acne scars might be tricky and frustrating. With microneedling, the scars and acne can get eliminated.
   

• Reduces Hyperpigmentation: Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of specific points of your skin. Hyperpigmentation does not affect your health, but it leaves your skin looking uneven and blotchy. It is a result of inflammation, sun exposure, and hormonal fluctuations. Hyperpigmentation can get eliminated through the microneedling process, combined with vitamin C supplements.
   

• Removes Scars and Stretch Marks: Stretch marks that build up after sudden and rapid body growth can be pretty stubborn. They can make your skin look aged and saggy. Microneedling can help you reduce the stretch marks, leaving you with even and beautiful skin. Having youthful and rejuvenated skin is vital to most people.
