Important Notes On Microneedling Sterling Heights Residents May Wish To Know

By Angela Jones


While everyone may wish to have flawless skin, it may not be possible at some point in life for some due a number of issues including the environment, gender and aging, among others. Facial skin is usually the most affected because it the most exposed area and hence the most sensitive. Microneedling helps to restore youthful skin appearance in most of such cases. In this article, we explore some of the important facts regarding microneedling Sterling Heights residents may benefit from.

Abnormalities in skin appearance come in different shapes, colors and sizes. Some present as wrinkles while others come in form of hyperpigmentation, acne or even freckling. Wrinkling is known to occur more commonly in the elderly as most tissues begin to physiologically shrivel during this time. Fat rich foods as well as hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle are more likely to result in acne.

The process of microneedling involves the use of minutely sized needles to create holes on the surface of the skin. The idea is to purposefully cause trauma to the skin in order to allow new skin cells to grow flawlessly. Smooth regrowth is enhanced by deposition of collagen and elastin tissues in the dermis layer of the skin. The proponents of this technique also believe that the creation of holes increases the ability of skin care products to be absorbed.

It will be almost an impossible exercise to hold and insert the needles into the skin manually without a supporting device. Not only can they easily break but the procedure itself will be rendered quite ineffective due to inadequate pressure application. Commonly used supporting devices include rollers and pens.

When pens are used, the pressure generated is predominantly applied vertically downwards. Rollers, on the other hand direct their pressure both vertically and horizontally thus covering more ground. It should be noted that rollers may be more destructive than useful in situations where only a small surface is under treatment.

Generally, microneedling has to be done more than once to achieve the optimal results. A single session on the face takes about twenty five minutes, on average. While most people cringe at the idea of microneedling on the basis of pain, the truth is that the procedure is almost painless. Adequate local anesthesia is applied to ensure the client is as comfortable as possible throughout.

Just as is the case with any medical procedure, there are a number of complications that may be encountered albeit a few. Among them is the fact that the area that has been treated may be a bit reddened. This is likely to be more pronounced in persons with lighter skin tones. Fortunately this is self limited and will resolve in a few days without treatment. Other possible complications pigment problems, infections, scarring and minor bleeding.

The demand for this procedure has continued to rise steadily over time. Minimal complications and high success rates appear to be the main drivers for this surge. The general advice for an individual undergoing the procedure is that they should combine the microneedling with healthy skin products to optimize on the results. Recommendations on what to use can be obtained from a licensed dermatologist.
