What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates the skin. It involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. This process helps to reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and large pores and improves the overall texture and tone of the skin.

How does Microneedling compare to other skin rejuvenation treatments?

Microneedling is less invasive compared to many skin rejuvenation treatments. It works by creating micro-injuries that stimulate the body's natural healing process, enhancing collagen and elastin production. Unlike laser treatments, it's safe for all skin types and has minimal downtime, making it a versatile option for skin rejuvenation.

What is the downtime after a Microneedling treatment?

Downtime after Microneedling is relatively minimal. Patients may experience redness and mild swelling for a few days post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately, although it's advised to avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for a short period after the treatment.

Is Microneedling suitable for all skin types?

Microneedling is versatile and generally suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It's an effective treatment for various concerns like ageing, scars, and enlarged pores. However, it's not recommended for those with active skin infections, certain acne conditions, or extremely sensitive skin.
