What Does Microneedling Do for Your Skin?
Microneedling is an incredible treatment option that has a number of benefits for the skin. It is a simple treatment that can deliver amazing results without any downtime or pain.
Smaller Pores
If you have larger pores, you know what a struggle it can be to minimize them. With this type of treatment, you will notice significantly smaller pores. Reducing the size of pores with just creams alone can take a long time if it even works at all. This is a quick and effective way to reduce the size of the pores all over your face.
Brighter Complexion
A radiant, glowing complexion is something that most people desire when it comes to their skin but it can be difficult to achieve. Dull skin can occur for a variety of reasons including aging. After this treatment, you will notice that you have a much brighter, more radiant complexion.
More Even Skin Tone and Texture
Uneven skin tone and texture is another pretty common skin concern. Redness or hyperpigmentation is another issue that can be difficult to treat with creams alone. After microneedling, you will notice that your entire skin tone is much more even and that the texture of your skin is far smoother than it was prior to having treatment.
More Youthful Skin
A lack of elasticity in the skin can cause sagging, giving the face a much more aged appearance. These issues are difficult to correct normally but with this type of treatment, you will notice firmer, more youthful skin. This form of treatment even promotes natural collagen production that will keep your skin looking younger much longer.
Diminishes the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are a very popular reason that many people opt to have this type of treatment. It will significantly fade the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines even those that are more severe. Since diminishing the look of lines and wrinkles can be a hard task, this treatment is a wonderful option for those seeking to have smoother skin with fewer lines and wrinkles.
Fades Sun Damage and Acne Scarring
Scars left behind from acne are another skin concern that can be hard to get rid of. This type of treatment is going to fade the appearance of any scarring on the face as well as fade the look of age spots or sun damage.
How It Works
Microneedling works by renewing skin from the inside, promoting healing. Tiny needles are used on the surface of the skin to penetrate that top layer.
