Microneedling
Medical microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive procedure that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, resulting in the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity. As a result, medical microneedling can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.
The procedure itself is relatively painless, and a topical anesthetic can be applied to minimize any discomfort. The length of the treatment depends on the area being treated, but typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour. After the treatment, patients may experience some redness and mild swelling, which usually resolves within a few days.
Medical microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for all skin types and can be used to address a wide range of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven texture. The results of medical microneedling are gradual and improve over time as the body continues to produce collagen and elastin. Most patients notice a visible improvement in their skin’s appearance after just one treatment, but a series of treatments may be necessary for optimal results.
