It’s really frustrating to face the mirror every morning and see acne scars peppering your skin. It seems that no matter what you do, whether it’s brightening soaps, collagen capsules, or gentle exfoliation, none of these seem to work at getting rid of those pesky scars. What if we told you there was something that is guaranteed to give you results? Would you believe us?
Have you heard of Microneedling? You may have heard of this skin treatment and may have even been amazed by the stories surrounding it. Yes, it’s true that microneedling boasts of amazing results and there are even impressive comparison pictures of skin needling before and after for clients.
As a procedure, microneedling is the process of regenerating the collagen in your skin using tiny pinpricks of needles to penetrate the top layers of the skin or the epidermis. This uses a specific kind of device called a dermapen and it is able to jumpstart the natural healing process of the skin through collagen regeneration. This is what gives the skin its more radiant glow and allows the skin to naturally heal from acne scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and even stretchmarks.
How does it work? How can needle pricks activate healing in the skin? What microneedling does is that it creates micro punctures in the first layer skin, which allows the body to respond by producing collagen. The collagen is then responsible for reconnecting broken tissues from acne scars, it restores the bounciness of the skin, it diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, and is able to heal stretchmarks and scars. Microneedling essentially rejuvenates and restores your skin’s natural features.
How long should the treatment continue? While there are immediate results seen after just the first session of microneedling, it is certainly advisable to have a course of treatments for dermapen skin needling. The treatment is relatively quick and painless, needing only very little skin preparation prior to the treatment. As you continue to undergo the procedure in the next few weeks or months, your skin becomes noticeable plumper, more radiant, and much more reception to creams, serums, and other skincare topical treatments. This is what makes skin needling the perfect treatment—it integrates well with your skincare routine so that you won’t even have to change a thing or swap out your favourite skincare products.
What’s the catch? We’re happy to report that while microneedling may be described as painful, even more success stories of skin needling have described the treatment as painless and hassle-free. The use of the dermapen by clients assures that this cutting-edge tool isn’t invasive and poses much less risks than other skin treatments in the market.
As for downtime, there isn’t any downtime needed after you go through your microneedling treatments. Unlike when you get face lifts, laser treatments, or scar removal operations, skin needling is less invasive and requires no downtime at all. You can even squeeze your microneedling procedure in between a lunch break from the office; it’s that quick. You may only feel some very minor discomfort in your skin, the same sensation as having sunburn or slight swelling. The discomfort will also disappear within a few days.
Is it even suitable for my skin type? If you check out the before and after photos of microneedling clients, you will see that it works on all skin types whether it’s dry or oily, dark, light or something in between, acne-prone or riddled with dark spots.
Microneedling is definitely the answer to your prayers when it comes to skin rejuvenation.
