Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling uses micro-fine needles to produce micro-punctures to deliver beneficial skin micronutrients. Via these micro-punctures, essential vitamins and antioxidants are delivered into the skin for enhanced penetration, and collagen is also stimulated and re-organized. As such, microneedling brightens the skin, improves pore size, and enhances tautness and smoothness of skin.

How is the treatment done?

Treatment is started after topical numbing medicine is applied for a brief duration. After the numbing cream is washed off, the microneedling is applied in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal strokes to produce pinkness and faint pin-point oozing. Topical skin micronutrients are then applied and rolled into the depth of the skin, followed by additional strokes until the products are absorbed.

Subsequently, after washing and cooling, a cooling gel is then applied.

Generally, several sessions are required.

Results are more precise, longer lasting, and more complete when treatments are done in stages.

The treatment takes about one hour in an outpatient clinic setting.

Topical anesthesia may be used.
