MICRONEEDLING, ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO
KNOW ABOUT MICRONEEDLING AND DERMAROLLERS
Looking for a way to improve your wrinkles and fine lines without any down time? Micro-needling is a quick and virtually painless procedure that will give you smoother, firmer, and younger looking skin.
What is microneedling all about?
·
Microneedling is a process that involves using fine needles
to puncture hundreds of tiny holes in the skin.
·
It is a
very popular cosmetic procedure because it can induce collagen without injuring
the top layer of skin.
Micro-needling (also known as collagen induction therapy) induces collagen
production and actually strengthens the epidermis.
Today, we’re going to explore
microneedling and dermarolling to find out exactly what is involved in the
processes and what they promise to do for skin.
Microneedling, also called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), involves
using a tool called a dermapen with tiny needles at the end that make little
holes or needle pricks in the top layers of skin.
Another method of microneedling uses
a dermaroller which
looks like a miniature paint roller with lots of tiny needles that is gently
rolled in different directions over the surface of skin to achieve the same
effect.
The purpose of this
procedure is twofold:
1.
The little holes from the needles create “micro channels” that allow skincare products,
such as potent serums,
to penetrate and absorb into the deeper layers of skin to deliver more powerful
results.
2. These tiny pinpricks act as a bunch of mini injuries which
kick skin into healing mode and stimulates collagen and elastin production.
This process plumps skin and improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles,
scars and pores.
How does the procedure go down?
First, a cosmetologist applies a
numbing cream to the patient’s skin.
Next, the practitioner will gently
roll a dermapen over the surface of the skin in a few different directions to
work around areas of the face to create tiny holes in the skin’s surface.
The whole process takes around 20-30
minutes and, while it involves needles in your face, the process is apparently pretty painless.
You can expect some redness for up
to a couple of days afterward as a result of all the skin stimulation, but it
subsides quickly as the healing begins and the results of more glowing, supple
skin start to show.
To get truly effective results,
you’ll need more than one treatment ( with a gap of 1 month) to continually
build collagen and elastin.
BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING
1.
Microneedling for Fine Lines and Wrinkles
All that time spent in the sun when
you were younger may have caused a significant amount of sun damage, facial
wrinkles and thinning of the skin which results in the loss of elastin and
collagen. With Microneedling you can expect to see significant improvement due
to the fact it promotes natural elastin and collagen. Minimization in wrinkles,
fine lines and scars will all be remarkably noticeable.
The build up of collagen and elastin
also helps strengthen and thicken skin. This will reduce skin thinning that is
often associated with aging.
2.
Premature Skin Aging
Microneedling does the same function
with premature skin aging as with fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen
and elastin growth. When the skin thickens and the avoidance of collagen
breakdown occurs, the aging process slows down.
3.
Scars
If you are one of the many people
that suffer from acne scars or any scarring on the skin for that matter, then
Microneedling is the solution for you. It is proven to immensely improve or
even fade out the majority of scarring with the exception of keloid scars.
(this is an irregular growth of scar tissue that escalates beyond the top skin
surface) With the stimulation of collagen and elastin from Microneedling, it
will lead to normal, healthy skin.
4.
Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are always a little
more stubborn to treat than regular scarring, however there have been numerous
reports from clients who have been very happy with the results from
Microneedling. One does usually need more treatments with stretch marks and for
deeper stretch marks, 3-12 treatments are usually required in order to start
seeing visible results.
5.
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is a condition in
which small areas of the skin become darker than the rest. Unusually dark
patches of skin develop when the skin cells in those areas start producing too
much melanin. Over activity of the melanin-producing cells can be triggered by
a variety of causes, including certain medical conditions and medications.
However, one of the most common causes of dark patches on the skin is
post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which develops as a result of irritation
and swelling. Microneedling helps minimize hyperpigmentation by shedding the
top layer of the skin and produce normal melanocyte. It is very safe for anyone
who has a darker skin tone. It does not lead to the loss of skin pigment.
6.
Age Spots
Just as with hyperpigmentation,
Microneedling also sheds the top layer of the skin and reduces the appearance
of age spots.
7.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a skin condition that
affects parts of your face. Symptoms can include facial flushing, facial
redness, spots, thickening of your skin, and eye problems such as dry eyes and
sore eyelids. Rosacea also leads to breakdown of collagen however with Microneedling
treatment, it will produce a large amount of collagen and improve the condition
immensely. Do not perform Microneedling if you currently have nodular or
pustular rosacea.
8.
Acne
Another
huge benefit with Microneedling, is that when paired with skin products, the
punctures allow the ingredients of the product to better absorb into the skin,
making the treatment a great option for people who suffer from acne. If you
have an any topical acne treatment, Microneedling will boost the absorption directly
into the treated area. If you suffer from acne, you will notice a huge
difference as your skin will clear up tremendously. Do not attempt
Microneedling at home with Acne as you may not know when your skin is irritated
and you may cause it to spread further. It is always better to get an
Aesthetician to perform Microneedling as they know exactly what to look out
for.
Are there any risks
to microneedling or dermarolling?
Infection
The biggest no-no is using the
microneedle on active acne because you run the risk of infection. Avoid
blemished areas during microneedling or wait until pimples are gone before
undergoing the process.
Skin Reaction
Experts agree that you should not
get the procedure done on skin that is inflamed, irritated, or are currently
experiencing eczema.
Since microneedling can cause your
skin to absorb skincare products more deeply, there’s a chance it could react
to ingredients differently and become irritated.
You also want to be careful about
using products not formulated for use with microneedling.
just to clear any confusion when you
hear the word ‘needling’, here’s what the technique is NOT:
- Microneedling is NOT an injection
- Microneedling is NOT a piercing
- Microneedling is NOT a DIY procedure
