Why is Microneedling so Popular?

Microneedling is a popular facial treatment among skin care advocates for plenty of good reasons. It is known to help rejuvenate sun-damaged skin, improve acne scars, reduce pore size and treat hyperpigmentation.

Several facial treatments such as those offered by Aloe Beauty offer similar benefits.

However, the following reasons are why it’s a hit with everyone, including celebs and famous personalities.

It Restores a Youthful Skin Glow

Microneedling has a wide range of benefits, but one of the biggest ones is how it can help your skin look younger. Needless to say that it’s an easy way to reduce wrinkles and scars. 

As we age, our bodies slowly lose collagen and elastin, which are two important proteins that give the skin its youthful appearance and elasticity. As these proteins break down over time, your body produces less of them, resulting in age-related skin concerns.

Microneedling increases the production of these proteins, which results in smoother-looking skin with increased firmness and elasticity. 

It Can Be Used to Treat a Variety of Different Skin Issues

Microneedling has also become more prominent because it helps an array of different skin issues apart from aging. Although before it rose to fame for its anti-aging benefits, microneedling was a treatment designed to help reduce acne scarring.

It was then also found to be effective for sun-damaged hyperpigmentation.

If your skin exhibits one or more of these concerns, microneedling is the treatment to try. 

When acne scarring is your concern, know that it is not a substitute to treat active acne. It is useful for prevention and dealing with the damage after the healing. So if you do have a few acne that is present around acne scars, your esthetician will most likely go around them to air in the side of caution.

It’s best to consult a dermatologist to work on present acne. 

It Requires No Downtime

One of the most appealing aspects of microneedling is that it requires no downtime. Because skin’s natural healing process needs time for regeneration, you can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.

However, you may experience a few side effects for the first few days similar to peeling after a sunburn.

Although severe side effects are rare, let your dermatologist know if healing is no longer manageable.

It's a Relatively Low-Risk Procedure

If you don’t get to go under the knife, then you won't need strong anesthesia, and you won't have to stay in the hospital overnight.

The same can’t be said for plenty of anti-aging procedures around today. 

Microneedling is a procedure that’s worth trying before deciding into getting anything permanent done. The procedure extracts collagen that you already have, and it also helps the products you already use work a lot better.

So what do you have to lose?
