What to expect from microneedling? Why is it popular for skin rejuvenation? If any of such questions bother you, read this article and then make an informed decision to go with microneedling.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that can treat various cosmetic dermatological conditions of the scalp and facial skin. It can also be used on the skin of almost anywhere on the body. It can treat skin conditions like acne scars, surgical scars, severe burns, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and stretch marks. Sometimes, microneedling is used to effectively absorb topical products into the skin and treat hair loss.

Microneedling skin rejuvenation treatment in Noida has grown in popularity in recent years in cosmetic enhancement. It is a practical approach to promoting the body's regeneration mechanism, resulting in younger-looking skin without chemicals. People often refer to this technique by other names, such as percutaneous collagen induction therapy, derma rolling, and skin needling.

How does Microneedling work for Skin Rejuvenation?

Microneedling uses a handheld, mechanically operated, or electrically powered drum- or pen-shaped device with multiple microneedles. These tiny needles can prick the skin and create precise micro-punctures. The depth of these punctures can be changed depending on the specific therapeutic aims.

The body takes the micro punctures as micro-injuries, making the treated skin turn itself into repair mode. In the repair mode, the body's natural wound-healing response creates a surge of growth factors and skin rejuvenating cells in the damaged area, promoting skin rejuvenation. There is dermal remodeling- fresh collagen production, taking place. Collagen is a structural protein of the skin that helps keep the skin firm, smooth, and youthful. Along with collagen, elastin fiber production also gets a boost, which makes the skin more elastic.

How do I Prepare my Face for Microneedling?

It is best to undertake the following before the procedure:

• Do not go for laser treatments
• Avoid excessive sun exposure or sunburn
• Do not go for traditional hair removal methods like waxing and depilatory products

• Take no anti-inflammatory drugs

What are the Steps in Microneedling?

A microneedling session involves the following steps:

1. Application of a numbing cream: Numbing cream may be used for some clients to avoid discomfort during the treatment. 
2. Use of microneedling device: Once the skin is prepped and numb, the dermatologist needs the treatment area. The microneedling device is guided in a straight line down the treatment area until the whole area has been punctured. 
3. Cleaning of tiny blood droplets: During microneedling, tons of blood droplets start showing up, which the dermatologist wipes away using an antiseptic wipe. 
4. Application of soothing masque: After the microneedling is over across all the treatment areas and the skin is wiped with antiseptic, the dermatologist applies a soothing masque. The masque contains hyaluronic acid, moisturizing minerals, and other skin-benefiting ingredients which help improve skin appearance. 
5. Sun protection: Before concluding the session, the dermatologist may apply an oil-free broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the treated skin from UV damage and even control post-treatment skin redness.

What is the Best aftercare for Microneedling?

Just after the treatment, the skin may appear flushed or bright red, like a mild to moderate sunburn. This redness fades in about 2 days. Other side effects, like peeling off the skin, dry skin, and breakouts, take some more time to resolve and are not experienced by everyone. There is slight swelling seen for up to 48 hours.

A careful aftercare can help minimize side effects, resolve them faster, and ensure smooth and quick healing of the treated skin. Some of the aftercare tips or instructions given by a dermatologist following microneedling include:
