Microneedling

People over the age of 35 often look forward to different skin rejuvenation options, especially when they start to experience visible signs of aging such as wrinkled skin, scarring and spots. Micro needling is one such option considered as a miracle cure when it comes to wrinkles, fine lines and scars. This treatment has been there for decades, however, its popularity has exploded in the recent years because of the associated benefits. Human skin is naturally stuffed with two types of proteins called collagen and elastin. These two proteins provide elasticity to the skin. However, with age, the natural collagen breaks down and the skin starts to lose its elasticity. Microneedling is a “pricky” way to stimulate collagen production and to restore elasticity of the skin. This is a popular procedure performed by  Dr. Jatin Sharma at Astral Skin & Laser Clinic in Zirakpur and is opted by hundreds of patients from around the world, who look forward to younger-looking, fresh and glowing skin.

What is microneedling?

Micro needling is an old procedure, however, it has gained tremendous popularity in the recent past. The technique involves the use of needles to prick the skin and create a few holes in the skin. These therapeutic holes created with the help of a needle are a way to microinjury the skin and stimulate the production of collagen. This, in turn, helps fill the gap created due to loss of collagen from the skin. The production of new collagen, thus, helps fill the fine lines, remove wrinkles and scars and give skin a younger and plumper look. Micro needling is, therefore, a kind of a therapy used to fill the gaps in the skin and reduce the visible signs of aging.

Who can opt for micro needling?

Anyone who is not afraid to get pricked by needles and looking forward to the overall general skin rejuvenation can opt for this procedure. More specifically, microneedling helps treat the following skin conditions:

  • Wrinkles
  • Fine lines
  • Acne scars
  • Chickenpox
  • Stretch marks
  • Sunken areas of the skin

What parts of the skin can microneedling treat?

Microneedling is suitable for not just the face, but other parts of the body as well. For example, it can be used to treat the problematic areas of the skin of the hands, back, neck, legs and abdomen.

What happens during microneedling?

During microneedling, the cosmetologist first lubricates the affected area. Next, the microneedling device is rolled over the skin of the patient. The device creates holes in the skin of the patient to stimulate collagen production. The procedure lasts for over a period of 30 minutes and the patient may experience mild burns and redness on the skin.

How much time does it take to recover after the procedure?

The redness and burning sensation may persist for a few days before the skin looks normal again. The complete improvement in the skin may happen take place within two to three months of the procedure.

When can I expect to see results?

Microneedling procedure results do not appear instantly since it takes time for the body to produce collagen. The natural collagen production takes a few weeks to months and that is when the patient is able to see actual results.

How many microneedling sessions are needed to see results?

Microneedling is an ongoing procedure and it requires between three to six sessions to see optimum results. However, the need to conduct multiple sessions depend upon the condition of the skin, the amount of area to be treated and the results of the first session.

Microneedling not only helps treat wrinkles, fine lines, pits and scars, but also helps people regain lost glow and confidence. Contact Astral Skin & Laser Clinic in Zirakpur today for more details!
