Essential Benefits Of Microneedling

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that helps treat or reduce the severity of several skin conditions. It involves using miniature needles to cause small wounds on the skin, thus triggering a repair response from the body. As the body heals the small wounds, it also repairs other damages within the skin cells. Microneedling is a simple and effective procedure, and here are some of the benefits it affords clients:   

Anti-Aging Agent

Common signs of aging are the formation of wrinkles and fine lines on your skin. The microneedling process can help prevent their formation or reduce prominence since it fuels collagen and elastin production. Collagen is a protein that forms elongated fibers, which help the skin maintain its structure, thus keeping your skin firm, smooth, strong, giving you a youthful feel and look. Thus, microneedling can eliminate signs of aging, like drooping skin.

 Reduce Visibility of Scars and Stretch Marks

Scaring and stretch marks make many people self-conscious about their appearance. Microneedling can help put you at ease since it stimulates the growth of new skin cells that make stretch marks less visible. The process also reduces the visibility of several kinds of scars, like acne scars, by breaking down old skin tissues. Moreover, microneedling helps deal with scars and stretch marks by making skincare products more effective. Microneedling pokes holes into the skin, allowing the skin to absorb skin products leading to healthier and smoother skin.

Evens Skin Tone and Exfoliates

Hyperpigmentation is the unusual darkening of the skin caused by melanin overproduction. Melanin is the pigment that determines skin color. The condition is triggered by several factors, including sun exposure, hormonal conditions, and air pollution. Microneedling can help reverse hyperpigmentation by exfoliation, which peels off dead skin cells and allows the right pigmentation to form. Furthermore, microneedling can be used to apply medication deeper into the skin, fostering skin rejuvenation. Skin ointments contain Vitamin C, an antioxidant that mitigates the effects of free radicals on skin tone. Thus, combining microneedling and recommended medications may mitigate hyperpigmentation.

Convenient and Affordable

Microneedling is not a time-consuming procedure; the average time spent at the dermatologist's office is a few hours. The doctor will apply a numbing cream on your skin about an hour before the procedure. Microneedling then takes less than 30 minutes, depending on its application. Thus, you can get microneedling done and go about your other activities for the day. Microneedling is also significantly cheaper than other procedures like laser treatment but is just as effective in its results.
