Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a small device with tiny needles that puncture the skin to create controlled injuries. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, resulting in the production of new collagen and elastin, which helps to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and other skin concerns.
Â
During a microneedling session, the device is rolled or stamped across the skin, creating thousands of microscopic punctures. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, which involves the release of growth factors and cytokines, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
Â
The increased collagen and elastin production helps to improve the skin’s texture and tone, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. Additionally, the microchannels created during the microneedling process allow for better absorption of skincare products, making them more effective.
Â
Microneedling can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands. The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Most people require several microneedling sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to see optimal results.
Â
While microneedling may sound painful, most people report minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to minimize any discomfort.

Overall, microneedling is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other skin concerns. If you’re interested in trying microneedling, be sure to consult with us (8180 458-9556 to determine if it’s right for you.
