Microneedling

Wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks can cause people to feel self-conscious about their skin’s uneven appearance. Skin specialists have various tools and treatments, such as lasers, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion, to address these issues. Another option is microneedling, a minimally invasive procedure performed in Wow Laser.

Despite the use of needles, microneedling is generally not painful. Skin specialists at Wow Laser often apply a topical anesthetic cream beforehand to numb the treatment area. Side effects are minimal and may include temporary redness and swelling after the procedure.  Compared to lasers or chemical peels, which also help resurface the skin and improve its texture, microneedling typically has a shorter recovery time.

What is Microneedling? 

Microneedling, also known as percutaneous collagen induction therapy, is performed using a handheld device with tiny needles that create precise, microscopic punctures in the skin. These small “micro-injuries” stimulate the skin to naturally repair itself through a process called dermal remodeling.

This process begins with inflammation, which triggers the skin to produce new collagen, the fibers responsible for skin tightness, smoothness, and youthfulness. As we age, collagen levels decrease, but microneedling can help stimulate new collagen production during the skin’s repair process.

To achieve desired results, it is typically recommended to undergo three to five monthly or biweekly treatments. Over a series of sessions, microneedling can enhance the elasticity of the skin’s fibers. Additionally, it can help thicken and tighten the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, which naturally becomes thinner with age.

What are the side effects of microneedling?

Microneedling can lead to temporary side effects, including short-term swelling, redness, and skin flaking, which typically resolve within a few days. Most individuals can resume wearing regular makeup within a day of the treatment. However, it’s important to note that the skin may become more sensitive to the sun after microneedling, so sunscreen is recommended.

It’s advised to avoid microneedling if you have active inflammatory acne or oral herpes, as the procedure may exacerbate these conditions. Individuals with a history of oral herpes may be prescribed an oral antiviral medication for one week following treatment, as microneedling can potentially trigger a new cold sore outbreak.
