MICRO-NEEDLING: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
So, how does micro-needling improve the skin?
At times it seems though as there are new skin care techniques available at spas and clinics every single day. Understanding all the new techniques and how they can benefit your skin can be incredibly overwhelming. Our mission is to help you achieve the beautiful skin you deserve, no matter where you are in South Africa.
Read our blog to understand how micro-needling can improve your skin:
One of the most recent premium skincare practices you may have seen cluttering your social media feeds is called micro-needling, sometimes referred to as derma-rolling. Though the technique has been available for a number of years, it seems to only now be garnering lots of attention.
The name itself can be quite alarming, which is why many of our clients wonder, what does micro-needling do? Thankfully, it is a lot less intense and terrifying than the name suggests.
To be clear, a micro-needling treatment is a procedure which punctures the surface layer of the skin using a group of very tiny needles. But the fine needles are not placed into your skin as they are during acupuncture, rather the procedure typically utilizes a roller containing tens of these tiny needles which your esthetician will then roll over your skin.
We know this sounds like it would be painful, but in fact, most clients experience very little pain during the procedure as the needles are designed to puncture the skin at a superficial level.
Micro-Needling Benefits:
The benefits and results that micro-needling can provide are worth it. From reducing the visible appearance of aging to evening skin tone, micro-needling may just be the skin care tool to get you the radiant skin you have been working for.
Here are some of the skincare conditions that may benefit from the micro-needling technique:
Anti-Aging: Many of the visible signs of aging including fine lines, wrinkles, and thinning of the skin are the result of the decreasing presence of some of the skin’s fundamental building blocks.
Scars & Stretch Marks: Using similar mechanisms to those described above, micro-needling can also help reduce the appearance of scars. This is especially true of acne scars which tend to be sunken inwards rather than raised.
Skin Tone & Pores: Micro-needling can aid in improving the overall tone and texture of your skin while reducing the visible appearance of your pores. Any sort of discoloration such as age spots can begin to fade with multiple treatments, specifically when used in conjunction with age spot treatments.
Micro-needling results can be expected to be seen within a few weeks as your skin quickly rejuvenates itself. But to maintain those results you will need to have frequent and continuous visits.
