What Skin Issues Does Microneedling Treatment?
The skin undergoes a series of changes that often damage it in some way. Many of these changes occur as a person goes through the aging process. Microneedling can be used to improve the appearance of fine lines, stretch marks, acne scarring, moderately sized wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dryness, and surgical scars. This skin treatment can even help to restore the evenness of skin tone and color as well as texture. This skin procedure primarily treats skin problems on the face.
What Is the Microneedling Treatment?
Microneedling rejuvenates and plumps the skin for a more youthful complexion. This skin procedure stimulates collagen production to accomplish this task.
What Happens During the Microneedling Treatment?
Microneedling is a two-step process. During the initial phase, your skin care specialist applies a numbing cream to the designated area. This step encourages a comfortable experience throughout the procedure.
Next, a specialized device, commonly referred to as a dermaroller, gently pokes tiny holes into the uppermost layers of the skin to promote the production of collagen. Each puncture is tiny and feels like a small pin prick on the skin. The entire procedure should take approximately one hour.
Your skin may develop a temporary redness, you shouldn't be alarmed. For most patients, this redness disappears in two to four days. Some patients may heal more quickly or take a little longer to recover. You can return to regular activities as soon as you leave our Las Vegas office.
Since your skin has a natural ability to promote the healing of wounds, your skin recovers quickly. During this phase, your skin produces new supplies of elastin and collagen, enabling your skin to restore its supple nature. As your skin heals, it slowly transforms and looks newer and fresher than before your visit.
It is important to understand that healing times vary among patients. In particular, the swiftness of your healing depends on the number of times the microneedling device touches each area as well as the actual positioning of the device.
