Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that involves using fine needles to create micro-perforations in the skin, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production.
This process enhances skin regeneration, improving texture, firmness, and overall appearance. It is widely used for rejuvenation, scar reduction, and pigmentation treatment.
What is Microneedling Used For?
Microneedling is used for various dermatological and aesthetic improvements, including:
- Stimulating collagen for firmer, youthful skin.
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improving acne scars and other facial marks.
- Minimizing hyperpigmentation and sun spots.
- Refining enlarged pores and improving skin texture.
- Boosting the absorption of skincare treatments.
- Enhancing overall skin radiance and glow.
This versatile and effective treatment is suitable for all skin types and ages.
What Are the Effects of Microneedling?
The effects of microneedling vary based on individual skin concerns and treatment depth, but the most common benefits include firmer, smoother, and rejuvenated skin.
Patients typically notice improvements in skin elasticity, reduced scars, and a more even complexion. Over time, repeated sessions provide long-term skin rejuvenation and enhancement.
Does Microneedling Have Contraindications?
While microneedling is generally safe and well-tolerated, it is not recommended for:
- Individuals with active acne, infections, or open wounds.
- Patients with rosacea, eczema, or other inflammatory skin conditions.
- People with a history of keloid scars.
- Those using blood thinners or with clotting disorders.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women (depending on depth and ingredients used in conjunction with treatment).
A consultation at Clinic Consultation is required to determine if this treatment is right for you.
How is the Microneedling Procedure Performed?
Microneedling is a quick, safe, and minimally painful procedure that follows these steps:
- Skin Cleansing and Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied.
- Micro-Perforation Application: A specialized microneedling device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
- Serum or Growth Factor Application: Depending on the treatment goal, serums (such as hyaluronic acid or vitamin C) may be applied.
- Soothing and Hydration: The skin is calmed with post-treatment products to enhance healing.
- Recovery and Aftercare Instructions: Patients receive guidelines on skincare and sun protection.
At Clinic Consultation, microneedling is performed by experts using advanced techniques for maximum effectiveness.
