Experience the Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling is a safe, minimally invasive procedure that uses thin, sterile needles to stimulate cell regrowth and collagen production. The procedure can reduce acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, and stretch marks. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of undergoing microneedling in Hurst, TX, at The New You Medical & Infusion Clinic.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
You are a good candidate for microneedling if you have:
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines or wrinkles
- Loose or crepey skin
- Acne scars or other mild scarring
- Uneven skin tone or discoloration
- Stretch marks
You might not be a good candidate for microneedling if you have severe acne or are on acne medication, have a blood disorder or are on anticoagulants, have cancer, get frequent skin rashes, or have skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
What to Expect During & After the Procedure
After you have a consultation with a practitioner to determine if you’re a good candidate for microneedling, you may schedule an appointment. Your practitioner might recommend that you apply Vitamin A or C cream to your skin daily for a month before the procedure. On the day of the procedure, they will apply a numbing cream to your skin and then use a hand-held roller to insert tiny, thin, sterile needles into your skin. You might feel warmth or a slight scratching feeling. A procedure might take 15 minutes to a few hours. After the procedure, you can use an ice pack to reduce inflammation.
The Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling improves the overall appearance and texture of your skin. It can also reduce scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, and other skin problems. You can get repeated treatments every 3-8 weeks. You will see results in 3-6 months.
Risks of Microneedling
Most people don’t experience any negative side effects after a microneedling procedure. Rare, minor side effects include bruising, scarring, or a skin infection. You may have dry, flaking skin for a week or so after the procedure, and your skin might feel hot and tight. You can treat side effects with ice packs, over the counter anti-inflammatories, and moisturizer. You should stay out of the sun until your skin heals, and wear sunscreen every day.
