Microneedling: Frequently Asked Questions

From fillers to facials and expensive serums and tonics, you have tried several things to make your skin appear fuller and more youthful. Your friends have been raving about microneedling, but you are wondering if this is the best treatment for you. Here are the answers to a few frequently asked questions you might have about different microneedling procedures.

What Exactly Is Microneedling?

There is a specialized type of microneedling that uses radio frequency to provide more accurate results. Like traditional microneedling, very small needles are inserted into the skin to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is the substance in the skin that makes it appear plump and youthful.

However, unlike traditional microneedling, this newer procedure uses radio frequency, which allows the technician to insert the needles deeper and more precisely into the skin. This increased accuracy helps improve your results.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

Microneedling can be used to treat several areas of your face and upper body, such as the forehead, cheeks, eyelids, under eyes, neck, upper arms, and jawline. There are several benefits to choosing microneedling, including:

• Reduces acne and acne scars
• Lessens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Improves skin's elasticity and tone
• Reduces the appearance of dark circles under the eyes
• Reduces puffiness

It can take several weeks before you begin to notice the fantastic benefits of microneedling Additionally, you might require more than one treatment to achieve the desired results.

Are You a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

If you have fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars and want to improve the look and texture of your face and neck, you are typically a good candidate for microneedling. Because the treatment is less invasive, there is minimal downtime after the procedure.

However, be aware that if you have deeper lines and wrinkles and severe skin discoloration, your results will not be as dramatic.

What Can You Expect During Your Treatment Appointment?

The technician will begin by applying a numbing agent to the treatment area. The cream requires several minutes to numb the area. Next, the needling instrument is gently inserted into the skin. Because of the numbing cream, you will only feel mild discomfort and some pressure. The entire procedure will only take a few minutes, and you will be able to return to work within a few hours.

If you want a minimally invasive treatment that will effectively reduce the appearance of acne, acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, microneedling is an excellent option.
