Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that employs fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, which results in increased collagen and elastin production, enhancing the overall texture and appearance of the skin.

The benefits of skin needling include:

• Improved skin texture and tone: Smooths rough patches, fine lines, and wrinkles.

• Scar reduction: Minimizes the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.

• Enhanced absorption of topical products: Increases the effectiveness of post-treatment serums and creams.

• Boosted collagen production: Promotes firmer, more youthful skin.

• Non-invasive with minimal downtime: Allows you to quickly return to your daily activities after treatment.

During the treatment, a trained professional applies a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. A device equipped with fine needles is then used to create micro-injuries in the skin. The session typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Following the procedure, a soothing serum may be applied to support recovery.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure due to the application of topical anesthetics. While some may feel a slight prickling sensation, it is generally well tolerated. Post-treatment, patients may experience redness and swelling akin to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a few days.

The downtime associated with skin needling is minimal. Most individuals experience redness and swelling for 24 to 48 hours after treatment, but this can vary based on individual skin sensitivity. Typically, you can resume your regular activities within a day.

To achieve optimal results, a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is usually recommended. The exact number of treatments needed will depend on individual skin concerns and desired outcomes.

Skin needling is suitable for most skin types and concerns. However, it may not be recommended for individuals with certain skin conditions such as active acne, eczema, or psoriasis. Consulting with a qualified professional is essential to determine if the treatment is right for you.

Before the treatment:

• Avoid blood thinners (like aspirin) and alcohol for a few days to reduce the risk of bruising.

• Discontinue using retinoids and exfoliating products a few days before your session.

• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

After the treatment:

• Avoid direct sunlight, harsh skincare products, and vigorous exercise for at least 24 hours.

• Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers, keeping the skin hydrated.

• Follow your practitioner’s post-care instructions closely.

Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, and minor discomfort. In rare cases, there could be bruising or infection. Adhering to aftercare instructions can help minimize risks.
