MICRONEEDLING FOR SKIN:

From micro needling alone, you will look plump, pink and luminous for a couple of weeks. On a short-term basis, it plumps the skin and makes the skin look more radiant from inflammation and very superficial swelling.

When used on the face, microneedling can help promote better product absorption and has been shown to be effective in the reduction of scar tissue. As a result, the skin might appear clearer in tone with a natural, healthy-looking glow. In addition to the face, microneedling can be used on the body.

Simply put, microneedling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purposes of rejuvenation. Micro needling is made up of micro-fine needles that range in diameter from 0.5 and 2.5 millimetres. But, if the prospect of multiple needle wounds sounds slightly ominous to you, know that the punctures are more like pin-pricks that enter only surface-level deep.

Microneedling offers fairly immediate results:

Skin treated with four microneedling sessions spaced one month apart produced up to a 400% increase in collagen and elastin six months after completing treatment.

Microneedling is most often used on your face to target:

• acne scars

• age spots (also called “sun spots”)

• fine lines and wrinkles

• large pores

• reduced skin elasticity

• uneven skin tone

• Stretch marks

• Hyper pigmentation

• You need to be gentle on your skin after microneedling.
