And o truth e, many de these treatments just...

don't work.

O que e Microneedling?

Before we get para o specifics, it might help para know...uh...well...what even e microneedling?!

Microneedling e um facial procedure that falls em o same general family as Botox e o vampire facial--but it's actually way less invasive than most other clinical facials.

Microneedling e also known as "collagen induction therapy," e e um quick cosmetic procedure that's used para target wrinkles, lines, e other signs de aging.

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

Seems um little silly, right?

Well, it's actually not!

After o age de 30, our skin loses an average de 1% de its total collagen each year. This means that o 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 para break down old e underperforming collagen cells, promoting new e stronger collagen e elastin para grow back em its place! By replacing seu skin's current collagen, microneedling helps give seu skin um more fresh e youthful look, e actually helps slow down o overall decay de collagen em seu skin by keeping it fresh e on its toes!

O que's o Tratamento Like?

This all sounds pretty good, right? Now, you might be wondering sobre all o stabbing e breaking down that goes on com microneedling treatments--what's that really like?

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

Although microneedling e um very low key treatment, it's important that you prepare fully em advance.

O/A microneedling treatment itself typically lasts para 20 para 40 minutes. Your clinician will start o process by washing o skin e applying um serum.

Typically, they'll begin microneedling on o forehead ou temples, as this area e often o most sensitive de o whole process.

O/A level de discomfort most experience during o procedure has been likened para um significantly more-intense version de eyebrow tweezing, com discomfort skyrocketing around o bonier areas de o face, like o forehead e chin.

Microneedling isn't necessarily something you should do if you're just looking para um nice, relaxing afternoon activity--but it's also nothing para rival childbirth ou o pain de o alarm clock going off too soon.

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

That's it!

O que Should I Expect Afterward?

As com any cosmetic treatment, you're probably wondering just what you'll get de letting somebody stab you repeatedly all over seu face com tons de tiny needles.

That's pretty reasonable.

Immediately following each microneedling procedure, you'll probably notice that seu face looks um little flushed ou somewhat sunburnt. This e totally normal e will only last para um few hours afterward. It may not be um great idea para get um microneedling treatment o morning de seu wedding, but you'll definitely be cleared up para work o following morning.

Some patients also experience some really minor spotting ou scabbing em o first days after their microneedling treatment.

This e actually um good sign that seu skin e already working hard para replace its old collagen. A solid exfoliator can be used para take care de any minor scabbing.

One de o only drawbacks de microneedling e that you won't necessarily notice any obvious improvements immediately following seu first treatment. Most patients set up um plan para receive 3 treatments over o course de 4 months.

O/A results de microneedling are cumulative, e o only way para get o best results e para stick com o treatments.

If you're patient enough para stick com seu microneedling treatments, you'll start para see super noticeable improvements after o second e third round.

O que Else Can I Do para Make Microneedling Worthwhile?

If you decide para go through com o microneedling treatment, there's no doubt you're em para some super-satisfying results--but there are some things you can do, em addition para o treatments themselves, para maximize o outcome de seu microneedling procedures!

Many doctors e dermatologists recommend that patients use products like SkinCeuticals' Epidermal Repair serum em o weeks following microneedling para help moisturize e promote regrowth de o skin's collagen.

Some doctors also suggest SkinCeuticals H.A. intensifier ou Isdin Flavo C capsules, which help para hydrate e plump skin after o treatment.

In addition para 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-para-six weeks before e after o microneedling treatments para best results.
