Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing processes, which can result in increased collagen and elastin production. This can help improve the appearance of various skin concerns, such as:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Acne scars

  • Hyperpigmentation

  • Large pores

  • Stretch marks

  • Overall skin texture and tone

The Process

Microneedling

  • Benefits of Microneedling:

    • Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Helps smooth out uneven skin and improves overall complexion.

    • Reduces Scars and Stretch Marks: Effective in minimizing the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.

    • Minimizes Pores: Can help reduce the size of enlarged pores.

    • Anti-Aging: Stimulates collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

    • Enhances Product Absorption: Increases the efficacy of topical skincare products by allowing deeper penetration.

    • Cleansing: The skin is cleansed to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup.

    • Topical Anesthetic:A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort and usually left on for about 20-30 minutes.

    • Microneedling:The microneedling device is moved over the skin in a systematic pattern. The needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.

    • After: Post-treatment serum is applied to enhance healing and provide hydration. These products penetrate more deeply due to the micro-channels created by the needles.

  • Aftercare Tips:

    • Keep the skin clean and avoid touching the treated area with unclean hands.

    • Apply gentle, hydrating products as recommended by SAHA.

    • Avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

    • Refrain from using makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

    • Refrain from using harsh skincare products, such as retinoids and exfoliants, for several days post-treatment.

  • Initial Treatments:

    • A series of treatments (typically 3-6) spaced 4-6 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results depending on the desired skin results.

    Maintenance:

    • Maintenance sessions may be needed every few months, depending on your skin's response and the severity of the issues being treated.
