Microneedling is a method that some dermatologists use to treat different skin conditions. The technique involves using multiple tiny, sterile needles to puncture the skin and cause physical trauma.
Microneedling may help address wrinkles, acne, scarring, and stretch marks. Microneedling increases the production of collagen and other healing factors by causing trauma to the skin. Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, with a firm, smooth, and stretchy texture. It is commonly known as “Vampire Facial” if done with PRP.
The whole process of micro-needling takes about 30 to 40 minutes approx. Depending on your pain tolerance, you may find that the little needles cause you to moderate to very minimum pain. It’s normal to experience some redness after this skin stimulating treatment that may last up to a couple of days. There’s really a downtime of 3 to 4 days after microneedling.
