Microneedling Treatments at Alive Wellness Clinics

Teenage is the hardest part of life, why? Because your body goes through so many changes, especially on the face, you get recurrent acne, which leaves deep marks and pigmentation that significantly affect your self-confidence. Traditional treatments take months to show results, due to which your social life gets hampered. We get you! Have you heard of microneedling? It is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production in your skin. This results in fading of deep acne scars and treating the acne at the root. Let’s understand more about it.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure where the dermatologist uses fine needles to puncture the top-most layer of your skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are essential for youthful skin. Where other traditional treatments target only the surface layer, microneedling acts on the deeper skin layer and heals the skin naturally. Depending on your skin health and acne severity, you might be recommended multiple sessions.

How Does Microneedling Work?

The dermatologists create tiny punctures in your skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. The procedure increases the blood flow to the area. Microneedling treatment also helps topical serums to penetrate deeper for maximum effectiveness.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling, along with improving acne, also helps to:

  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Minimize acne scars and pigmentation.
  • Improve skin texture and elasticity.
  • Reduces pore size.
  • Enhance absorption of skincare products.
  • Minimal downtime and safe for most skin types.

Who Should Try Microneedling?

You are a candidate for microneedling if you have:

  • Recurrent acne
  • Enlarged pores
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin pigmentation or uneven skin tone

What To Expect?

Before procedure:
Before the procedure, you will have a discussion with your dermatologist regarding your skin concerns, procedure, and result expectations. The dermatologist may ask you to apply vitamin A or C cream, a month before the procedure, to boost collagen production.

During procedure:
The healthcare provider will prep your skin and apply a numbing cream to prevent any discomfort. The numbing cream is applied about 30 to 45 minutes before the procedure. The doctor will use a handheld roller or an electric tool to make wounds on your skin, which will create injury and boost collagen production.

Doctors can change the length of the needles on the electric device. Longer needles are required if you have deep scars or pockmarks. The procedure can take 15 minutes to a few hours, depending on the problem areas.

After procedure:
After the microneedling procedure, your skin might be red and swollen for 5 days. You will be advised to apply an ice pack to reduce redness. Your skin will be sensitive to the sun after the procedure, so make sure to apply sunscreen. Your dermatologist might recommend multiple treatments depending on your concerns and skin health.

Avoid the following things after the procedure:

  • Make up
  • Skincare products containing retinoids
  • Sun exposure
  • Harsh scrubs
