Micro-Needling
The first thing you need to know about micro-needling is that it is a form of collagen induction therapy (CIT). Collagen is a protein that gives our skin its structure and elasticity. As we age, our body’s production of collagen slows down, which can lead to wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. Micro-needling works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
Micro-needling is usually performed using a device that has several small needles on its tip. The needles are used to create tiny punctures in the top layer of skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, which promotes the production of collagen and elastin.
Most people tolerate micro-needling treatments well and do not experience any side effects. However, you may experience some temporary redness, swelling, and bruising. These side effects will typically resolve within a few days.
If you are considering micro-needling as a way to improve the appearance of your skin, it is important to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or skin doctor who has experience with this treatment. They will be able to assess your individual needs and determine if micro-needling is right for you.
