Most di il treatments administered are, in some way o another, aimed at helping patients un look e feel younger. Between crazy facial treatments like il bee venom e vampire facial, it's hard un keep track di what crazy new things can actually bring il results patients want!
And il truth e, many di these treatments just...
don't work.
There are loads di super-invasive, super-ineffective treatments that claim un help reduce il age di patients' skin. But un new wave in cosmetic skincare--called "microneedling"--e equal parts not-invasive e super-effective!
If you're into il idea di younger-looking skin e are seeking un treatment that'll really do il trick, microneedling may be just what you're looking per.
To learn more su microneedling, what it e, e how it can make you look e feel years younger, keep reading!
Cosa e Microneedling?
Before we get un il specifics, it might help un know...uh...well...what even e microneedling?!
Microneedling e un facial procedure that falls in il same general family as Botox e il vampire facial--but it's actually way less invasive than most other clinical facials.
Microneedling e also known as "collagen induction therapy," e e un quick cosmetic procedure that's used un target wrinkles, lines, e other signs di aging.
To perform il procedure, un trained clinician will use un tool made up di loads di tiny needles that poke il surface di il skin all over.
Seems un little silly, right?
Well, it's actually not!
After il age di 30, our skin loses an average di 1% di its total collagen each year. This means that il stuff that keeps our skin tight e elastic starts...going away.
Quando skin undergoes microneedling, however, those tiny needles that prick you all over help un break down old e underperforming collagen cells, promoting new e stronger collagen e elastin un grow back in its place! By replacing tuo skin's current collagen, microneedling helps give tuo skin un more fresh e youthful look, e actually helps slow down il overall decay di collagen in tuo skin by keeping it fresh e on its toes!
Cosa's il Trattamento Like?
This all sounds pretty good, right? Now, you might be wondering su all il stabbing e breaking down that goes on con microneedling treatments--what's that really like?
Your microneedling treatment will be an in-office procedure that you'll want un set up well in advance di when you'll actually want un have it done.
Although microneedling e un very low key treatment, it's important that you prepare fully in advance.
Il/La microneedling treatment itself typically lasts per 20 un 40 minutes. Your clinician will start il process by washing il skin e applying un serum.
Typically, they'll begin microneedling on il forehead o temples, as this area e often il most sensitive di il whole process.
Il/La level di discomfort most experience during il procedure has been likened un un significantly more-intense version di eyebrow tweezing, con discomfort skyrocketing around il bonier areas di il face, like il forehead e chin.
Microneedling isn't necessarily something you should do if you're just looking per un nice, relaxing afternoon activity--but it's also nothing un rival childbirth o il pain di il alarm clock going off too soon.
Once tuo entire face has been treated (tuo clinician may run over problem areas like smile lines o crow's feet several additional times un ensure effective penetration), another serum will be applied.
That's it!
Cosa Should I Expect Afterward?
As con any cosmetic treatment, you're probably wondering just what you'll get da letting somebody stab you repeatedly all over tuo face con tons di tiny needles.
That's pretty reasonable.
Immediately following each microneedling procedure, you'll probably notice that tuo face looks un little flushed o somewhat sunburnt. This e totally normal e will only last per un few hours afterward. It may not be un great idea un get un microneedling treatment il morning di tuo wedding, but you'll definitely be cleared up per work il following morning.
Some patients also experience some really minor spotting o scabbing in il first days after their microneedling treatment.
This e actually un good sign that tuo skin e already working hard un replace its old collagen. A solid exfoliator can be used un take care di any minor scabbing.
One di il only drawbacks di microneedling e that you won't necessarily notice any obvious improvements immediately following tuo first treatment. Most patients set up un plan un receive 3 treatments over il course di 4 months.
Il/La results di microneedling are cumulative, e il only way un get il best results e un stick con il treatments.
If you're patient enough un stick con tuo microneedling treatments, you'll start un see super noticeable improvements after il second e third round.
Cosa Else Can I Do un Make Microneedling Worthwhile?
If you decide un go through con il microneedling treatment, there's no doubt you're in per some super-satisfying results--but there are some things you can do, in addition un il treatments themselves, un maximize il outcome di tuo microneedling procedures!
Many doctors e dermatologists recommend that patients use products like SkinCeuticals' Epidermal Repair serum in il weeks following microneedling un help moisturize e promote regrowth di il skin's collagen.
Some doctors also suggest SkinCeuticals H.A. intensifier o Isdin Flavo C capsules, which help un hydrate e plump skin after il treatment.
In addition un topical products like this, many dermatologists e clinicians recommend further clinical facial treatments following microneedling, like professional chemical peels. In-office peels should be done 4-un-six weeks before e after il microneedling treatments per best results.
