Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Microneedling is versatile and can be used on various areas of the body, including:
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones, making it an excellent option for anyone looking to improve their skin’s appearance. Good candidates include individuals with fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars, or uneven skin texture.
Results from microneedling can last for several months, depending on individual factors such as skin type and the specific concerns being treated. Many patients benefit from a series of treatments (typically 3-6 sessions) to achieve optimal results, followed by maintenance sessions to prolong the benefits.
Yes, microneedling is considered safe when performed by a trained professional. Side effects are usually minimal and can include temporary redness and swelling.
The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, and while there may be some redness post-treatment, most patients can return to their normal activities within a day.
Results may start to become visible within a few weeks as collagen production increases, with optimal results seen after a series of treatments. Effects can last several months to over a year, depending on individual skin care and maintenance.
