The Benefits of MicroNeedling: What You Need to Know
MicroNeedling is a relatively new and exciting treatment that is quickly gaining popularity in the beauty industry. It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, which results in the production of collagen and elastin. The result is firmer, smoother, younger-looking skin.
Why is MicroNeedling so popular?
MicroNeedling is quickly gaining popularity in the beauty industry because it is a minimally invasive procedure that provides a host of benefits. It is one of the only procedures that does not induce a large amount of inflammation in the skin as it is being performed. Chemical peels and laser procedures produce lots of inflammation, which can destroy existing collagen and also take longer for a full recovery.
What are the benefits of MicroNeedling?
There are many benefits to MicroNeedling, including:
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improving the overall texture and tone of the skin
- Stimulating collagen production
- Reducing the appearance of scars
- Minimizing the appearance of pores
What should I expect during and after a MicroNeedling treatment?
During a MicroNeedling treatment, a small device is passed over the surface of the skin. The needles create micro-injuries that trigger the body's natural healing response. After the treatment, the skin will be slightly red and sensitive. These side effects typically resolve within a few days. At The Face Space, we give you post-procedure products so that you will get the best results following this treatment.
How often should I get MicroNeedling treatments?
Most people see the best results after 3-6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. If it is just for maintenance then you can come once or twice a year just to keep up with your beautiful-looking skin.
How to prepare for a MicroNeedling treatment
Before your MicroNeedling treatment, you will need to take some precautions to ensure that you get the best results. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Avoid sun exposure before the treatment. Sun exposure can increase the risk of skin irritation and inflammation.
- Avoid using Retin-A or other AHA/BHA products for at least 48 hours before the treatment. These products can increase the risk of skin irritation.
- Use a light cleanser and moisturizer on the day of the treatment. Avoid using any other products that could irritate the skin.
-After your MicroNeedling treatment, it is important to protect your skin from the sun. Be sure to use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
