ما هو is Microneedling?

Before we get إلى specifics, it might help إلى know...uh...well...what even is microneedling?!

Microneedling is facial procedure that falls في same general family as Botox و vampire facial--but it's actually way less invasive than most other clinical facials.

Microneedling is also known as "collagen induction therapy," و is quick cosmetic procedure that's used إلى target wrinkles, lines, و other signs من aging.

To perform procedure, trained clinician will use tool made up من loads من tiny needles that poke surface من skin all over.

Seems little silly, right?

Well, it's actually not!

After age من 30, our skin loses an average من 1% من its total collagen each year. This means that stuff that keeps our skin tight و elastic starts...going away.

متى skin undergoes microneedling, however, those tiny needles that prick you all over help إلى break down old و underperforming collagen cells, promoting new و stronger collagen و elastin إلى grow back في its place! By replacing شعرك skin's current collagen, microneedling helps give شعرك skin more fresh و youthful look, و actually helps slow down overall decay من collagen في شعرك skin by keeping it fresh و on its toes!

ما هو's علاج Like?

This all sounds pretty good, right? Now, you might be wondering about all stabbing و breaking down that goes on with microneedling treatments--what's that really like?

Your microneedling treatment will be an في-office procedure that you'll want إلى set up well في advance من when you'll actually want إلى have it done.

Although microneedling is very low key treatment, it's important that you prepare fully في advance.

The microneedling treatment itself typically lasts لـ 20 إلى 40 minutes. Your clinician will start process by washing skin و applying serum.

Typically, they'll begin microneedling on forehead or temples, as this area is often most sensitive من whole process.

The level من discomfort most experience during procedure has been likened إلى significantly more-intense version من eyebrow tweezing, with discomfort skyrocketing around bonier areas من face, like forehead و chin.

Microneedling isn't necessarily something you should do if you're just looking لـ nice, relaxing afternoon activity--but it's also nothing إلى rival childbirth or pain من alarm clock going off too soon.

Once شعرك entire face has been treated (شعرك clinician may run over problem areas like smile lines or crow's feet several additional times إلى ensure effective penetration), another serum will be applied.

That's it!

ما هو Should I Expect Afterward?

As with any cosmetic treatment, you're probably wondering just what you'll get from letting somebody stab you repeatedly all over شعرك face with tons من tiny needles.

That's pretty reasonable.

Immediately following each microneedling procedure, you'll probably notice that شعرك face looks little flushed or somewhat sunburnt. This is totally normal و will only last لـ few hours afterward.

One من only drawbacks من microneedling is that you won't necessarily notice any obvious improvements immediately following شعرك first treatment. Most patients set up plan إلى receive 3 treatments over course من 4 months.

The results من microneedling are cumulative, و only way إلى get best results is إلى stick with treatments.

If you're patient enough إلى stick with شعرك microneedling treatments, you'll start إلى see super noticeable improvements after second و third round.
