Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves pricking the skin with tiny, sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help to achieve a more youthful appearance.
Patients might experience mild discomfort during the procedure, but topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize any pain.
While some effects can be seen immediately, optimal results typically emerge after several sessions and over a few months as collagen production increases.
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and mild irritation, similar to a sunburn, which usually subside within a few days.
Yes, microneedling is safe for all skin types.
