What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally-invasive, effective cosmetic treatment intended to reduce the severity of skin aging and scarring. If you’ve ever wondered. It involves applying tiny steel needles to the skin to create microscopic wounds. These trigger tissue regeneration with growth factors that stimulate cell division and the production of collagen and elastin.
What to expect during and after Microneedling?
At A Beauty Laser and Skin in Plainfield we recommend four microneedling treamtents for optimal results. You can expect to see a noticeable improvement in the overall texture and appearance of your skin.
Some of the specific benefits you will experience include:
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Reduction in the appearance of scars and stretch marks
- Reduction in hyperpigmentation and sun damage
- Increased firmness and elasticity of the skin
It’s important to note that the results of microneedling are not immediate, as it takes time for the body to produce new collagen and elastin. You may start to see some improvement after the first treatment, but optimal results are typically achieved after a series of treatments spaced 4 weeks apart.
After each microneedling treatment, you may experience some redness and mild swelling, but this typically subsides within a few days. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to help minimize any discomfort and ensure optimal healing.
