The Ultimate Guide to Microneedling: Everything You Need To Know About It!

Microneedling is one of the most popular aesthetic medicine treatments that has recently gained a lot of recognition. As the name suggests, the process of microneedling involves the insertion of tiny/microneedles into the dermis (the second top layer of the skin). It is a minimally invasive procedure and hence, does not include insertion of any objects or tools into the body. Any individual with a PG diploma in clinical cosmetology can carry out the microneedling treatment on their clients. 

The microneedling process is becoming a trending as well as most demanded beauty treatment because of the overall benefits that it offers. It helps individuals minimize the appearance of certain skin concerns including fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, etc. 

As already mentioned, microneedling is a cosmetic procedure. However, various studies have shown that this medical aesthetic procedure can also help with some medical conditions. 
In this blog, we will discuss everything related to the concept of microneedling. Hence, let us get started without making any further delays. 

What do you understand by the term microneedling? 

We all are aware about the basic meaning the term microneedling holds. In addition, this was also discussed in the first paragraph. But when talking in technical terms, microneedling is defined as a collagen induction therapy as it is carried to encourage the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. 

This process includes utilizing a fitted device that has fine needles and further creates tiny punctures in the first and second layer of the skin. Doing this stimulates the natural wound healing process of our body, further leading to increased production of collagen and elastin. In the end, individuals are left with a firm and fresh skin. 

Patients usually go for microneedling treatments to enhance their face skin and texture. However, this procedure can also be carried out on different body parts, including the head(scalp), legs, hands, stomach, and back as well, depending on the needs of the patient. 

Is microneedling the same as microdermabrasion? 

The process of both microneedling and microdermabrasion are concerned with improving skin disorders and texture, further leading to enhanced skin tone. However, the procedural method of these two terms is completely different. The microneedling process is wholly focused on utilizing fine needles on the skin. On the other hand, needles are not used in the process of microdermabrasion. Instead, the dermatologist or the practitioner uses a device that has a rough edge to further exfoliate the uppermost layer (epidermis) of the skin. 

Also, these two terms not only differ on the basis of their procedure but instead, they provide different results as well. Microneedling goes deeper into your skin and hence is considered to be more effective than microdermabrasion. 

Some of the main benefits of microneedling!

Any individual who undergoes a microneedling process that is carried out using accurate products and with a systematic procedure will experience numerous positive changes in their skin. Some of the most commonly experienced benefits are mentioned below. 

1. Improved product absorption: The tiny punctures created in the skin increase the capability of absorbing the applied product, which eventually results in better penetration and enhanced end results. 

2. Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles: The microneedling process is carried out to stimulate the production of collagen. When this starts happening, individuals witness fading of the fine lines and wrinkles that were present on their face. 

3. Reduction and improvement in scars: Microneedling is an effective way to reduce and improve the scars and other marks present on the skin. 

4. Minimized hyperpigmentation: The after results of microneedling lead to reduction in hyperpigmentation and further results in an even skin tone that lets the individual have uniform complexion. 

5. Enhanced overall skin tone and texture: It is very clear that an individual that undergoes a microneedling treatment will for sure experience the benefits mentioned above. All these benefits will eventually lead to an enhanced overall skin texture and tone. 

Who can become a microneedling practitioner? 

As already mentioned, microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure and does not include any surgery or insertion of tools or objects in the human body. In this case, people with or without a medical background can practice microneedling. However, they will have to apply for a relevant course to gain this eligibility.
