Beauty is a part of our life. We always want to look beautiful and use many products for this. There are many cosmetic products to make us look younger and beautiful. For being adorable we use many products but micro-needling is also prevailing in many regions of the world and people get remarkable benefits.
Dermatologists use the micro-needling technique in which sterile microneedles are used to cause physical trauma by puncturing the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin of the face. This physical trauma prompts the skin to rebuild.
Uses:
Microneedling is used to address
- Wrinkles or aging skin
- Acne or pimples
- Alopecia
- Stretch marks on the skin
- Rosacea
- Loose skin after weight loss
- Scars and pigmentation issues
The Microneedling technique is also used by a dermatologist to incorporate medications in the dermis layer of skin such as vitamin C and topical tretinoin. Which are used to treat acne ad scars.
How does it help?
Physical trauma caused by micro-needling increases the production of collagen and healing factors that in turn reduce aging and other illnesses. Collagen is a protein that causes youthfulness and makes skin smooth, tight, and firm. Collagen decreases with age or due to injuries or illnesses such as acne, scars, or other stretch marks.
Microneedling involves the growth of new skin cells so it is a slow process and can involve several months to see noticeable results.
