What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is exactly what it sounds like - very small needles are taken to the skin. By causing slight injury to the skin, the body responds by ramping up it’s healing cascade and collagen production. With collagen production comes the reduction in the appearance of some acne scars, anti-aging properties as well as brightness and overall appearance of the skin. While microneedling uses needles, it’s considered a minimally invasive procedure and it requires no down time. Additionally, most patients report that they overall experience is pleasant and comfortable.  

While there are many at-home microneedling kits and rollars, it is highly recommended by dermatologists to go a provider to get this procedure done. Issues with the quality of the needles, size of the needles, appropriate pressure to the skin, as well as sterility is called into question with at home rollers. Everyone’s skin is different and requires a different approach with possibly different needle sizes and technique. Additionally, the procedure has certain aspects that require training and a full understanding of the needles’ effects on the skin. To prevent worsening your skin appearance and injury, please see a professional office to get this procedure performed.
