Microneedling
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a treatment for facial rejuvenation. It involves making small, sterilized needle wounds in the skin. Your body produces more collagen and elastin as a result of the tiny wounds, which repairs your skin and makes you appear younger. It’s sometimes referred to as a collagen induction treatment.
Benefits of microneedling
Microneedling will improve the look and texture of your skin. It has the potential to reduce stretch marks, scars, wrinkles, and other skin issues.
Unlike other facial rejuvenation procedures that involve heat, light, or lasers, it does not increase the risk of skin discoloration. This makes microneedling suitable for those with dark skin tones.
Procedure of Microneedling Peel Treatment
The Skin Microneedling process begins with a thorough assessment to identify skin issues and set realistic treatment goals. During the treatment, a microneedling device is softly pushed across the skin, resulting in thousands of tiny punctures. The therapy typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated and the nature of skin. Because a numbing cream is applied before treatment, the majority of customers find the process to be comfortable.
