Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which helps improve the texture, tone, and appearance of the skin. It is commonly used to treat fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks, and overall skin texture.

While the procedure involves tiny needles, most people experience minimal discomfort. Before the treatment, a numbing cream is typically applied to the area to reduce any pain or discomfort. You may feel a slight prickling or tingling sensation, but it should not be unbearable. After the procedure, some redness and mild swelling may occur, similar to a mild sunburn, which generally subsides within a few hours.

Microneedling is generally safe for most skin types. However, those with active acne, eczema, or certain skin conditions should consult with a dermatologist before undergoing treatment to ensure it’s appropriate for them.
