What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is also called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). It is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure. You can get a Microneedling treatment done by a dermatologist or an aesthetician at a beauty clinic. Additionally, you can also do it at home. It involves rolling a roller with tiny needles along the skin. A Dermapen or a Dermaroller are the tools used in Microneedling.
The needles in the Dermarollers or Dermapen produces micropunctures in the skin. Hence, enhancing the absorption of skincare products, causing an increase in the production of collagen. Finally, reducing fine lines and scarring caused by acne.
Dermapen is the latest microneedling technology on the market. Your therapist will glide the Dermapen pen-shaped device over the face in a cross-hatch pattern. This delivers microscopic punctures to the top, superficial layers of the skin (only a few millimetres deep) using very tiny needles, creating 1920 micro channels per second. These micro channels stimulate controlled healing from the body, repairing with the best ingredients our body has to offer.
The Dermapen or Micropen is an upgrade to the traditional Dermaroller. This Dermapen is cordless and a handheld device using a disposable tip that is equipped with very fine needles. It is powered by a small motor and the needles then penetrate the skin vertically. Usually, a Dermatologists or Aestheticians use a Dermapen at a beauty clinic.
Dermaroller- microneedling tool
The Dermaroller is a handheld tool equipped with a rolling drum lined with thin and fine needles. This Dermaroller is rolled across the skin. It allows the needles to puncture the epidermis. Hence, creating micro-injuries that helps stimulate the skin’s natural process of healing. Usually, the Dermaroller is used by those who do the Microneedling treatment at home. However, some aestheticians do also use Dermarollers in their beauty salons.

What are the Side Effects of Microneedling?
Although many people swear by microneedling, there are several side effects that have been linked to this cosmetic procedure. Hence, it is significantly important that you are truly informed of the risks when you underwent any procedures. Among the potential after-effects are listed down below:
It may causes bruising and infection
Inflammation, irritation and itchiness are the common signs for those with sensitive skin

What is the procedure of Microneedling?
First, the anaesthetician will use topical anaesthesia on the area of the face that will last for a period of 45 minutes to an hour.
After preparing the face, the aesthetician will start with the needling in a vertical, horizontal and oblique direction. This is to cover the entire face.
Sometimes, pinpoint bleeding may occur. However, it is easily controllable.
Finally, the aesthetician will apply saline or ice packs to reduce the discomfort.
The treatment stimulates an inflammatory natural wound healing response in the skin which promotes renewal, repair, and rejuvenation. Natural growth factors are released to stimulate fresh restructuring of collagen. To help with this process, active solutions containing potent vitamins, antioxidants, collagen, hyaluronic acid (a substance made naturally in our body that boosts hydration) plus other nourishing ingredients are applied and penetrate the deeper layers of the skin through these tiny channels, to maximise the skin’s benefits, resulting in fresh, new collagen and elastin, and a rejuvenated and more youthful complexion.
