Microneedling is a popular, non-invasive treatment for a wide range of skin problems. It works by harnessing the body’s own healing power to improve the appearance of fine lines, skin texture and pigment. Patients usually see results with just a few sessions. Could microneedling be right for you? Here are some signs that you are a good candidate.
You want to improve your skin without invasive treatments.
Microneedling is a good alternative to invasive treatments for people who want results without a long recovery period. If you have skin discolorations, wrinkles, or dull skin, microneedling can improve your skin tone and texture by spurring collagen and elastin production. Fine lines can be improved and pigmentation issues lessened with a series of microneedling treatments.
You’re not currently pregnant or nursing.
Although the risk of complications is extremely low during microneedling, it is not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing. Skin infections, allergic reactions, and cold sores are all potential side effects associated with microneedling that could be harmful to your baby. The chances of experiencing one of these complications are extremely rare, but because the risk does exist, the safest thing to do is to wait until after your pregnancy and when you have finished nursing.
