What is medical needling
Before we get into the specifics of our guide, let’s define what medical needling is and what are the benefits associated with this technique.
As we have accepted, facial needling is a state-of-the-art technique for removing skin imperfections such as scars and acne marks.
The mechanism is simple: the skin is stimulated through microperforations with a special instrument equipped with tiny needles. After this stimulation, the skin reacts to the injuries by producing new collagen and elastin that will help tissue regeneration.
When it is useful
Facial needling is an effective treatment against blemishes such as:
- Surface wrinkles
- Post acne scars
- Photoaging damage and skin spots
- Skin laxity.
In addition, needling is also used to treat stretch marks.
Through the action of the dermaroller, the needling facial treatment causes thousands of invisible micro lesions that cause the body to repair itself, producing new collagen and elastin.
As a natural consequence, wrinkles will be corrected and the treatment will be long-lasting, following the natural aging path.
Speaking of needling stretch marks or scars, the results obtained are permanent.
How the treatment is carried out
Facial needling is a simple and minimally invasive procedure.
Medical needling is performed directly in an outpatient setting and does not require general anesthesia. At most, a topical anesthetic is used in occlusion, to be applied to the affected area about an hour before treatment.
The session lasts 15-20 minutes; during this time, the specialist will pass the dermaroller over the skin a number of times and following a directional criterion.
A soothing cream will be applied at the end of the session. It is good to remember that this treatment does not require any convalescence; in fact, it is possible to resume normal activities right away, as long as direct exposure to sunlight is avoided.
Results and contraindications
Facial needling is a very safe treatment that generates no significant side effects.
At most, the effects are temporary in nature: after treatment, in fact, the skin may be quite red for two to six hours. It is possible, in some cases, for edema or microbleeding to occur, which resolves naturally within 2-5 days.
For real and lasting results, the treatment needs to be repeated more than once about a month apart. Depending on the lesion to be treated, the specialist will best advise you and define a course of treatment tailored to you.
Successful needling is tangibly observable as early as 2-3 months, the time frame required for new collagen to form.
