What Microneedling Can Do For Your Skin
1. Removes Wrinkles And Fine Lines. Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural, but often unappreciated, result of the aging process. Microneedling is a great option for non-invasive skin rejuvenation, as the collagen and elastin the microneedling promotes will naturally allow the skin to become plumper, which smoothes fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Eliminate Skin Irregularities. Hyperpigmentation (a condition where there are darker patches of skin due to melanin) and sunspots can be reduced using microneedling. By triggering the skin’s wound healing process, old cells are turned over and new ones develop in their place, leading to a more even colouration of the skin.
3. Fights Stretch Marks And Scars. Microneedling can be used nearly everywhere on the body, making it an ideal treatment for stretch marks and scars. The only type of scars it will not be effective on are keloid scars as they are raised.
4. Reduces Dark Circles And Bags Under The Eyes. While microneedling can be used on many areas of the body, the undereye is one of the more popular treatment areas. Here microneedling helps to both lighten the colour of dark circles and to reduce the puffiness of under eye bags. Some people like to use vitamin A or C rich serums along with their microneedling to promote healing.
5. Reduce Broken Capillaries Or Spider Veins. Capillaries are tiny veins that are sensitive to changes in the skin. As we age, the skin becomes thinner, which makes capillaries and spider veins appear more prominent. Collagen makes the skin thicker, leading to less visible capillaries and spider veins.
6. Shrinks Pores. Although microneedling temporarily adds more tiny openings in the epidermis that may remind a person of pores. they actually reduce pores. When microneedling induces collagen production, it causes the skin to become plumper, thus closing previously opened pores.
7. Improves The Effectiveness Of Topical Products. Because microneedling creates tiny holes in the skin, it allows skin creams and other topical products to absorb more easily and to penetrate deeper into the dermis, making your products more effective.
8. Reduces Acne. The ability for your skin to absorb more product as well as the tightening and shrinking of pores leads to an overall reduction of acne.
9. Addresses Rosacea. This is a type of skin condition where the skin appears rosy and textured. Sometimes the skin will become thick and swollen, particularly around the nose and cheeks. Rosacea is often caused by a hastened breakdown of collagen, which is why microneedling has been used to reduce this skin condition.

Q: Can I use a home microneedling roller for the same results?
