Microneedling gets long-lasting results
Microneedling that delivers significant, long-lasting results when performed by a dermatologist. With regard to microneedling, not all treatments are created equal. Those di-it-yourself at home devices will never provide the same effects as an in-office treatment from a board-certified dermatologist. Microneedling should always be performed by a trained, experienced physician in a medical office.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling involves puncturing the skin with very small, thin needles to create tiny wounds. This procedure triggers the skin’s repair mechanisms and stimulates the production of collagen. This treatment can improve:
- The appearance of large pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Scars
- Stretch marks
To achieve these results, doctors use sterile needles that puncture deep enough to cause bleeding. The results of your microneedling treatment depends completely upon the skill of the person performing it. You should see a board-certified dermatologist or another trained doctor who has experience with the procedure and knows how to deliver the best results.
Home devices
Roller devices that are used for microneedling in the home have shorter, duller needles. These devices are not meant to penetrate the skin. They cannot deliver the same results as a microneedling treatment from a doctor. In addition, at-home microneedling devices are difficult to clean and maintain. Their needles dull quickly. Sometimes these devicespenetrate the skin, leading to injury or infection, rather than rejuvenation.
Microneedling for all skin tones
Patients with a wide variety of skin tones can receive the treatment without the risk of pigmentation issues that can result with laser and light procedures, which involve heat. Not everyone is a candidate for microneedling. Those with inflammation or infection, should naturally avoid the treatment.
Patients can expect to experience mild skin redness that lasts for a few days to a week. Patients should be careful to protect their skin from the sun after a microneedling session. However, they may start wearing makeup as soon as the next day. Because of its minimal down time and success with a wide variety of skin tones, microneedling has become one of the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments.
