Microneedling has a huge following in recent years. With the release of more sophisticated skin pens such as Dermapen you have to experience the most effective skin rejuvenation procedure on the market today.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a skin rejuvenation procedure that involves puncturing the skin to stimulate collagen production. It involves the use of a microneedling device, a tool that creates micro injuries on the skin which then induces the skin’s natural healing process.
White blood cells, connective tissues, collagen, and elastin populate the micro injuries created to reveal soft, smooth, and flawless skin.
What skin issues do microneedling solve?
One of the major benefits of microneedling is that it addresses a myriad of skin problems for both men and women. Here are the common indications for microneedling:
Improves the texture and overall appearance of the skin
Reduction in the volume of blackheads appearing on the skin
Reduce pore size resulting in smoother skin
Helps in stopping acne and cystic acne progression
Exfoliates skin thoroughly
Slows down the signs of skin aging as evidenced by reduced fine lines and wrinkles
Diminishes the appearance of scars and stretch marks
How soon do skin benefits appear on the skin?
You will notice an improvement on the appearance and texture of the skin after one session. The long-term benefits however become noticeable 8 to 12 weeks after your initial procedure. For best results, one must undergo microneedling every 6 to 8 weeks. Period in between allows for the skin to heal properly and for new skin cells to fill in the micro injuries created by the skin pen device.
