Why go for micro-needling?

Microneedling is very well known for its skincare benefits, both as a medical therapy and at-home treatments. It can be defined as the process of creating micro injuries which triggers the body go into “repair mode” and fill them with collagen, while the epidermis is left unharmed. According to a recent lengthy article published by The New York Times on microneedling, titled ‘How to Reduce Wrinkles without Lasers or Chemicals’, two major advantages of micro-needling over other treatment options were highlighted. The first is its ability to be performed repeatedly, it has little downtime and does not cause excessive skin reddening or irritation. The second reason is that the risks of hyperpigmentation associated with microneedling are much lower when compared to lasers. This is very important especially for people with darker skin tones.

The quality of results produced by this treatment is the major difference between it and other skincare treatments like facials, masks, etc. You are actually building collagen and causing the skin to thicken, so rather than look good for just a couple days after your facials, your skin remains smooth and radiates for a longer period. The at-home microneedling treatment is guaranteed to give you a more long lasting result than your regular masks or facials.

Make sure you get the correct length of the micro-needle

One of the most important steps toward having an effective and safe micro-needling treatment at home is selecting the appropriate needle length for the exercise. You should go for a dermaroller that has short needles for at-home microneedling so as to prevent the risk of scarring the skin. The longer the needles, the higher the risk of infection or scarring and also the higher the chances that it’ll hurt.

Nonetheless, does using smaller needles mean you’ll get less visible results? No! According to a recent study published in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the formation of collagen was not dependent on the length of the needle and also that regular microneedling was very important. In addition, the finer the needles, the less downtown and the more frequent you can microneedle. Therefore, when it comes to at-home microneedle length, think small!
