Micro-Needling
What is Micro-Needling?
Micro-needling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin which involves using thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. These proteins keep your skin firm and smooth.
Most people get micro-needling on their face, but you can also get it on your legs, back, neck or other areas where you notice damaged or aging skin. You’ll probably need multiple treatments to achieve your desired results.
Micro-needling vs. microdermabrasion: What’s the difference?
Micro-needling and microdermabrasion are both procedures to improve the look and texture of your skin. But microdermabrasion doesn’t use needles. Instead, a healthcare provider uses a device with a rough edge, like sandpaper, to exfoliate the uppermost layer of your skin. Micro-needling goes deeper into your skin than microdermabrasion, so it might work better for problems beneath the surface, such as acne scars.
Who benefits from micro-needling?
Micro-needling has cosmetic and medical uses. You might consider micro-needling if you’re concerned about:
Enlarged pores.
Fine lines or wrinkles.
Loose (thin and wrinkled) skin.
Mild scars, especially those from acne or minor burns.
Skin discoloration or uneven skin tone.
Stretch marks.
