what is microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses thin needles to create tiny holes in the top layer of the skin, stimulating the skins healing process and producing more collagen and elastin. This procedure can help reduce the appearance of skin concerns such as acne scars, stretch marks, and wrinkles. Microneedling is considered safe and has few side effects other than temporary redness and swelling post-treatment. It is mostly used on the face and may reduce the appearance of acne, scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and large pores. Microneedling is typically performed by dermatologists or aestheticians, but there are also do-it-yourself versions of microneedling devices available. However, dermatologists warn against using those because you might accidentally hurt your skin, and you may not have a good way to sterilize the needles. Microneedling is safe on almost all skin types and can be adjusted to fit each persons needs.
