A Few Facts About Microneedling Sterling Heights People May Find Useful

By Angela Jones


It is only natural that every human being wishes to have skin that is free of blemish. For one reason or another, the skin, especially that of the face tends to depreciate in appearance from the time one is born to the time when they grow old. Some of these changes are normal physiological developments while others are due to an inappropriate diet, environmental changes and genetic factors. These are some of the benefits of microneedling Sterling Heights skin enthusiasts may wish to know of.

As a person grows older their organs including the skin begin to atrophy. Atrophied skin presents in the form of wrinkling. The young may also get affected by undesirable skin changes which typically occurs as acne. This is attributed to a significant rise in hormonal levels especially during adolescence as well as the menstruation cycle for girls. Other abnormalities of skin include uneven skin tones and freckles.

In carrying out the microneedling procedure, tiny needles are used to create holes on the top layer of skin (also termed as the epidermis). The pores are good avenues for absorption of skin care products. Moreover, the process of healing comes with deposition of elastin and collagen connective tissue fibers hence the use of the alternative term collagen induction therapy, CIT.

Usually, the micro needles are not used directly by themselves as this may not be practically possible. Instead, they are held in position in a stronger device such a sponge as they are being pierced into skin. Devices meant to serve this purpose come in form of either pens or rollers. A certain number of needles are inserted firmly on the devices to facilitate a smooth process.

Punching is done directly into the superficial skin layers. Rollers are rolled across the skin surface, severally and in different directions. Rollers have the added advantage of easier handling and having a large surface area. One setback for the rollers is the fact that they may end up causing more trauma than is necessary. The general advice is that an experienced dermatologist should be consulted especially for the first few sessions.

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.

micro-needling remains a popular procedure mainly due to its ease. It is also effective in virtually all age groups. Users of this technique may need to combine it with a few others such as moisturizing lotions to obtain optimum results.
