MICRONEEDLING BEFORE AND AFTER: TRANSFORM YOUR SKIN NATURALLY

Microneedling is a promising cosmetic procedure being marketed to enhance skin tone and texture and achieve picture-perfect skin. It is important to grasp this procedure’s theory before and after its application if you are thinking about undergoing it as a least invasive one. In this blog, you will learn what microneedling is, how to prepare for it, what kind of results you should expect, and how it can change your skin.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a technique that goes by the name of collagen induction therapy that entails using a layer of sterile micro needles on the skin. Micro-injuries generated promote collagen and elastin production both of which are essential proteins involved in youthful and firm skin.

Benefits of Microneedling

Before diving into the "before and after" experience, let’s highlight the key benefits:

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: It also helps to enhance the collagen level and reduces signs of aging by use of microneedling.
• Improves Skin Texture: It also helps to effectively reduce blotchiness and skin wrinkle formation.
• Minimizes Acne Scars: Useful for lessening the visibility of the hard to get rid of skin marks that are most associated with acne.
• Shrinks Enlarged Pores: When used it provides your skin with that radiant and polished skin appearance.
• Enhances Product Absorption: After treatment your skin care products can be absorbed into the skin a lot better than before the treatment.

Microneedling: The Before Process

That’s why it important to make all the arrangements in the best way possible to ensure that the outcome is the best. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Consultation with a General practitioner

Anyone interested in microneedling should first speak to a licensed esthetician to know their skin type and needs before planning for the procedure.

2. Pre-Treatment Skincare

Discontinue any topical retinoids, exfoliants one week prior to the laser Vein treatment.

• Wash your skin with a very light cleanser and apply a good moisturizer to prevent your skin from drying up.
• Avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day.

3. Avoid Blood Thinners

People on blood thinners such as aspirin, fish oil supplements, warfarin or those likely to be on these during the treatment period should discuss with the dermatologist to be advised on the correct dosage which will not lead to excess bruising afterwards.

Microneedling: The After Process

Proper aftercare should be taken in order to allow for maximum outcome and or reduce potential complications. Here’s what to expect:

1. Immediate Effects

Within the first 24 hours you may also experience slight redness and /or mild swelling, as if you had a sunburn. This is normal and should last for not more than 48 hours.

2. Results Over Time

Looking at microneedling outcomes, they get even better with time as your skin generates more collagen. You’ll see noticeable differences in:

• 1 week: Less severity of skin redness and a smoother skin.
• 2-4 weeks: Fade off of acne scars and fine lines.
• 3-6 months: They are full benefits to firm and fresh skin all over.

3. Post-Treatment Care

• Hydrate: Continually moisturize the skin using creams that your dermatologist has suggested.
• Avoid Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 24-48 hours to let your skin recover.
• Sunscreen is a Must: To avoid development of darkness on the skin, protect yourself from UV rays.
• Gentle Products Only: Avoid facial washing with strong detergents and scrubs and refuse the use of any form of exfoliation for at least one week.
