WHAT IS MICRO-NEEDLING?
This trauma prompts the derma, a deeper layer of skin, to rebuild.
Micro-needling may help address many skin-related complaints, including:
- wrinkles
- scarring
- acne
- alopecia
- skin pigmentation issues
- stretch marks
- rosacea
- loose skin, such as after weight loss or liposuction
It may also help rejuvenate the skin.
In addition, professionals can use micro-needling to deposit medication, such as topical tretinoin or vitamin C, deeper into the skin. This can boost the treatment of a variety of issues, including acne scarring.
How does micro-needling work?
Micro-needling increases the production of collagen and other healing factors by causing trauma to the skin.
Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, with a firm, smooth, and stretchy texture.
Aging causes the decline of collagen in the skin, contributing to wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Skin can also lose collagen due to injuries, such as acne scarring, stretch marks, or other scars.
It is important to realize that micro-needling is not a quick fix, as it involves the growth of new skin. It can take several months for a person to see the full results of the procedure.
What are the benefits?
A 2018 systematic review found that micro-needling is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate skin and treat scars and wrinkles.
The researchers acknowledged, however, that determining whether micro-needling is a viable treatment option in all cases will require further research.
A press release from the American Academy of Dermatology also states that people can expect a reduction in the “appearance of large pores, fine lines and wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks.”
