Microneedling is a treatment for wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation, scarring and stretch marks. A small hand-held device is used to create thousands of tiny injuries to the skin with surgical needles that promote skin repair from the inside out.
Microneedling stimulates elastin and collagen production in the skin without causing visible damage using different sized needles, and treatment of different depth is used depending on the area and indication.
​
Microneedling is supported by clinical studies to be effective in non-surgical and non-ablative treatment for a variety of skin conditions. These include aging, (wrinkles, fine lines, and stretch marks), scarring (acne and surgical), as well as cellulite and hyperpigmentation.
Studies have also shown that microneedling is often a more effective treatment than dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing. It is proven to be just as effective in their ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Regular use of microneedling can thicken skin, smooth scars of all sizes, and erase wrinkles.
It is possible to do skin needling at home, but rollers sold for home use have the shortest needle lengths and therefore cannot produce the same benefits as practitioner-only microneedling. It is crucial to make sure that both the skin and the device are properly cleansed with antiseptic solution to avoid the risks infection.
