Before the procedure, the skin is typically cleansed and prepared ready to begin your treatment.

A specialized microneedling device, which can be a dermaroller or an automated pen-like device, is used. This device is equipped with fine, sterile needles. The length of the needles can vary, and the choice of needle length depends on the specific skin concern and the depth of treatment required.

The practitioner gently moves the microneedling device across the skin's surface. As the needles penetrate the skin, they create thousands of tiny, controlled punctures. These punctures are very shallow and don't cause significant damage to the skin.

The micro-injuries created by the microneedling device trigger the body's natural wound healing response. This response involves several key processes:

Inflammation: The body responds to the micro-injuries by sending inflammatory signals to the area. This inflammation is a crucial part of the healing process.

Proliferation: Fibroblasts, specialized cells in the skin, are activated. These cells play a central role in the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for skin health and elasticity.

Remodeling: Over time, the body gradually replaces the old, damaged collagen and elastin with new, healthy tissue. This process can lead to improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.

After the procedure, the skin may appear slightly red, swollen, or sensitive. It's important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by the practitioner to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of infection. Sun protection and gentle skincare are often recommended during the recovery period.
