Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that utilizes fine needles to create thousands of tiny punctures in the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms, boosting collagen and elastin production, which enhances skin texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and improves the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.
The procedure starts with the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. A microneedling device, equipped with fine needles, is then gently moved across the skin to create controlled micro-injuries. These micro-injuries trigger the skin's healing response, leading to the regeneration of healthy skin.
Post-treatment, patients may experience temporary redness and mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a few days. Following proper aftercare, including avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products, supports the healing process and maximizes results.
Microneedling is suitable for various skin types and requires minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking a non-surgical solution to improve skin appearance. Multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal results, with maintenance treatments helping to sustain the benefits over time.
