How It Works
Microneedling takes advantage of your own body's ability to repair itself. Your doctor uses a device that employs many minuscule needles that create very tiny wounds that promote your skin to regenerate.
Your skin increases its production of collagen to repair these which can result in a wide variety of benefits, such as a smoother, younger-looking, and more taught skin.
Benefits of Microneedling
Your body itself is what provides all the benefits associated with microneedling, the procedure only helps to promote this healing and rejuvenation.
It can be used to treat many common skin problems, it can help reduce signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles. It can help with scarring so it's often used as a way to treat acne scars. It can do much more, like shrinking the size of pores, improving elasticity, texture, and tone.
The benefit of the treatment itself is that it is performed relatively quickly and you'll need little to no downtime to recover from it. It is also typically painless, but your doctor will often apply a numbing cream before the treatment.
