What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin.
How does microneedling work?
The micro-injuries created by the needles stimulate the body's natural wound healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which improves the skin's texture and appearance.
What skin concerns can microneedling address?
Microneedling can help improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and stretch marks.
Is microneedling painful?
A topical numbing cream is usually applied to the treatment area prior to the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most patients experience mild discomfort during the procedure, which is well-tolerated.
How long does a microneedling session take?
The duration of a microneedling session typically ranges from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the specific concerns being addressed.
How many microneedling sessions are needed to see results?
The number of sessions required varies depending on individual skin concerns and treatment goals. However, a series of 3 to 5 sessions spaced 3 weeks apart is commonly recommended for optimal results.
What is the downtime after microneedling?
After microneedling, there may be some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically resolves within a few days. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
When will I see results from microneedling?
Some improvement in skin texture and tone may be visible within a few days to weeks after the initial treatment. However, collagen remodeling continues over several months, with final results becoming apparent within 3 to 6 months.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Microneedling is generally safe for all skin types when performed by a trained and experienced professional. However, individuals with certain skin conditions or medical concerns may not be suitable candidates for the procedure.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with microneedling?
Possible side effects of microneedling may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and minor skin irritation. In rare cases, infection or scarring may occur, especially if proper aftercare instructions are not followed.
Remember to consult with Dr. Susana Fontana at Hazel Clinic or with a qualified dermatologist to determine if microneedling is the right treatment option for you and to address any specific concerns or questions you may have.
