What is Microneedling?
The microneedling procedure entails a minimally invasive technique that utilizes needles to treat stretch marks, fine lines, and scars from wounds or acne. The process employs an electric device made up of 12 micro-needles. These needles are used to prick the skin to trigger the production of new tissue.
Whether it is microneedling for acne scars, stretchmarks, wrinkles, or any other skin-related problem, the procedure works the same. These pricks on the dermis trick the body into believing it has received a serious injury; prompting a wound-repair response.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling is a two facet procedure. First, microneedling helps in remodeling the existing collagen in the area under treatment, which firms the skin. Then the micro-pricks created by the needles trigger the body to produce new collagen that heals the wound within a few hours.
Collagen is composed of protein fibers that are used to provide support or to anchor the skin. This protein degrades with age and eventually leads to sagging skin. But by undertaking the microneedling procedure, the body encourages collagen production which firms the skin.
