Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to produce more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger. It’s primarily used on the face to reduce scars, wrinkles, and large pores. The procedure is minimally invasive, causing slight discomfort but offering notable results in skin texture and firmness. It’s a popular method for achieving smoother, more radiant skin.
If you are concerned about the texture of your skin or its elasticity and have any of the below conditions, Microneedling may be suitable for you.
If you are concerned about skin pigmentation and darkening and have any of the below conditions, Microneedling may be suitable for you.
If you are concerned about signs of ageing showing on your face and have any of the below conditions, Microneedling may be suitable for you.
Patients with acne scars also benefit from microneedling as the micro injuries caused during the microneedling process cause neo-vascularization and improve the cell metabolism. So when the micro injuries heal, the new skin is smoother and more supple. Over multiple sessions there can be a marked reduction in acne scars.
The most common reasons why patients seek full body skin rejuvenation are:
1. Chronic Generalized (wide spread) dry and dull skin
2. Generalized spread of marks and spots on large parts of the body like back etc. because of acne and other conditions.
3. Generalized darkening of skin or tanning because of sun exposure
4. Need for improving the overall texture and elasticity of the skin.
In this procedure a microneedling device is used to create miniature controlled wounds of a specific size and to a certain depth in the skin.
The two types of microneedling devices commonly used are called dermaroller and dermapen. The dermatologists selects the device based on target area and results to be achieved. These devices have multiple pins of certain thickness and length, which is chosen by the dermatologist also.
With the aid of these devices there are hundreds of miniature – controlled wounds created in the skin. Such micro wounding of the skin leads to two basic effects:
1. It activates the collagen and elastin formation process in the skin. Collagen and Elastin are the basic proteins which give structure to the skin and are instrumental in the form the skin takes.
2. This process also leads to neo-vascularization, that is formation of new blood vessels, leading to a much better blood flow and hence healthier skin.
Because of the above two effects when the skin heals, there is a substantial improvement in its texture and in case of any abnormalities like scars and stretch marks the healed skin starts resembling the adjoining area rather than have a different texture or structure.
The following steps are typically followed in a skin resurfacing procedure:
1. A numbing cream is applied to the area to be treated for a period of about 30 minutes.
2. Dr. Sejal then identifies the exact microneedling device and attachment to be used in terms of the number of pins and the thickness and length of the pins.
3. Dr. Sejal then proceeds to carry out microneedling procedure on the area to be treated, ensuring an even spread of the micro injuries being created.
4. The skin is then cleansed and an antibiotic cream is applied to ensure no infection can occur post treatment.
5. A soothing face mask is used to ensure that there is no inflammation of the skin.
6. The final step is to apply a moisturizer and sunscreen to ensure that treated area is protected from the environment and sun damage.
Here’s a list of key DOs and DON’Ts to follow before and after the procedure:
Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 days.
Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen.
Use a moisturiser.
Use a mild face wash.
Do not scrub or rub your skin.
Do not apply makeup for 24 hours.
Do not undergo any salon or spa procedure for upto 72 hours.
Do not wax, thread or bleach for 7 to 10 days
Immediately after the treatment, you may experience redness and mild swelling in the area that has been treated. This will subside automatically over the next 48 to 72 hours. There may be some minor scab formation, but these scabs will also fall off on their own.
After 72 hours, the skin will feel softer and more supple with a generalized feeling of tightening, also over the next week of so there will be a mild reduction in scars, pit marks and stretch marks in the treated area.
Please note that scars will not vanish in a single session, as a matter of fact multiple sessions are required to reduce the scarring and pit marks.
