Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device called a dermaroller or a dermapen to create tiny, controlled injuries on the skin's surface. These small punctures stimulate the skin's natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production.
During a microneedling session of
GATTONI Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, a dermatologist or aesthetician will use a device with fine, sterile needles to create microchannels in the skin. The depth of the needles can vary depending on the specific treatment goals and the area being treated. The procedure is typically performed on the face but can also be done on other parts of the body.
The benefits of microneedling include:
Collagen production: The controlled injuries created by Microneedling trigger the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining the skin's elasticity and firmness. This can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
Skin rejuvenation: By stimulating the skin's natural healing response, microneedling can improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. It can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.
Product absorption: The microchannels created by microneedling allow topical serums, creams, or other skincare products to penetrate more deeply into the skin. This enhances their effectiveness and allows for better absorption of active ingredients.
Minimal downtime: Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure, and most people experience little to no downtime. Mild redness and skin sensitivity may occur immediately after the treatment, but it typically subsides within a few days.
