What is Microneedling?
Microneedles for skin treatments are nothing new; in fact, ancient Egyptians used sharpened stones to achieve similar outcomes. Recently however, this practice has seen a resurgence due to more sophisticated technologies and an improved understanding of skin physiology.
Microneedling is a treatment that uses microscopic needles to create controlled injuries on the skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing process and boosts collagen and elastin production – giving you younger-looking skin with improved texture and reduced wrinkles.
Microneedling on the face
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes multiple fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin, aiding in its natural healing process and increasing collagen production by the body.
Microneedling can be used to reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles and stretch marks as well as enhance other treatments like laser resurfacing or chemical peels.

Microneedling on the stretch marks
Stretch marks are a type of scar that can form on the skin, typically as a result of stretching of the skin. They often occur during pregnancy, but can also form due to weight gain or loss, muscle building, or strenuous exercise.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that by creating micro-injuries triggers the body’s natural healing response, and leads to the production of new elastin. As a result, stretch marks may become less visible or disappear completely.

Are there any risks associated with microneedling?
Yes, microneedling carries a risk of infection. One main danger is that needles used incorrectly can cause skin damage and lack sterilization; furthermore, needles not sterilized properly may spread infection. For your safety and peace of mind, always get your treatment from an accredited clinic with experienced technicians.
How deep does the needle go into the skin?
Microneedling involves inserting a needle of approximately 1/8 of an inch (3 mm) into the skin for tattoos, however the depth can vary depending on its size, the area being treated, and what problem needs to be addressed with this treatment.
Typically, needles are inserted 1-3 millimeters into the skin.
Does skin look worse after microneedling?
The quick answer is NO. But, there is no definitive answer to this question as the results of microneedling can vary from person to person. However, some people report that their skin looks worse, red, or sensitive after a microneedling treatment, particularly if they have any adverse reactions to the treatment.
However, mostly the reactions last only for a few hours, and no further treatment is required.
How long does the redness last for most people after microneedling?
The redness typically lasts for a few hours after microneedling. If you feel uncomfortable feeling on your skin after 12 hours, or you notice an unusual reaction on the treatment area, you should contact the clinic or consult with your family doctor.
How to treat breakouts after microneedling?
