MICRONEEDLING

WHAT IS microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin. Your healthcare provider uses thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. These proteins keep your skin firm and smooth.

Most people get microneedling on their face, but you can also get it on your legs, back, neck or other areas where you notice 

damaged or aging skin. You’ll probably need multiple treatments to achieve your desired results.

Who gets microneedling?

Microneedling has cosmetic and medical uses.

You might consider microneedling if you’re concerned about:

• Enlarged pores.
• Fine lines or wrinkles.
• Loose or crepey (thin and wrinkled) skin.
• Mild scars, especially those from acne or burns.
• Skin discoloration or uneven skin tone.
• Stretch marks.

The procedure can also help people who have medical conditions such as:

• Alopecia areata (hair loss due to an autoimmune disease).
• Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
