What Is Micro Needling And Is It The Right Treatment For You.docx

1. What Is Micro Needling And Is It The Right Treatment For You? Micro needling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses thin needles. It is used to improve the skins appearance, helping reduce acne scars, stretch marks and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. It is usually used for cosmetic reasons, but it also helps with numerous medical conditions. Micro needling stimulates the skins healing process, helping to firm and smooth your skin. It is minimally invasive and the doctor will use thin needles, making tiny holes in the top layer of the skin. This causes damage which stimulates the skins healing process, producing more elastin and collagen. These two proteins are essential to firm and smooth the skin. The majority of patients choose micro needling on their face, but it can also be used on the neck, legs and back. It can be used anywhere on the body where you see damaged or sagging skin. It usually takes more than one treatment to achieve the desired results. It's not uncommon to confuse micro needling with microdermabrasion, both are used to improve the texture and look of the skin. Microdermabrasion does not use needles, it uses a device with a rough edge that exfoliates the upper layer of the skin. Micro needling goes deeper into the skin, working for problems below the surface, including acne scars. Micro needling can be used for medical and cosmetic purposes. It is often a first choice for large pores, fine lines and wrinkles, thin and wrinkled skin, mild scars, uneven skin tone and stretch marks. It is also recommended for those with Alopecia areata and hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating. It is not recommended if you currently have acne or are taking acne medication, you have any blood disorders or take anticoagulant medications or if you have cancer or are receiving radiation or chemotherapy treatments. Those with contact dermatitis or cold sores are also not recommended to use micro needling. It is also not suitable if you have eczema, psoriasis, moles, freckles or skin tags or you have keloidal tendency, which is when your skin forms hard raised scars. You will have a consultation with an aesthetic doctor prior to having your micro needling treatment. You need to ensure the doctor you choose has extensive experience with this procedure. They will examine the skin and review your health history, along with discussing your goals and what you expect from the procedure. They will take photographs, so you can compare your skin before and after the treatment. Your healthcare provider will examine your skin, review your health history and discuss your goals for the procedure. They may also take photos of the area so you can compare your skin before and after micro needling. It's not uncommon for you to have an application of Vitamin cream on the skin prior to treatment, which helps start the collagen production process. The treatment starts with the skin being cleansed and a numbing cream applied. This is done about half an hour prior to the procedure, so your skin is numbed and you won't feel any pain. They use a roller or toll to make wounds in the skin. The roller has tiny needles and is rolled slowly over the area. If they use the electrical tool, then the needle will pulse up and down to puncture the skin. The needle length can be changed based on your skin and needs. The longer needles go deeper into the skin and is suitable for deep scars and pockmarks caused by acne. It is not uncommon to feel a scratchy or warm sensation when they start the procedure. The procedure can take fifteen minutes or more than an hour, based on the size of area that needs treatment.
