Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to create controlled injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen production and improved skin texture.
No substances are injected during the microneedling process itself. The needles create micro-channels in the skin, which can then be used to apply topical products like serums or creams. These products can penetrate deeper into the skin due to the micro-channels, leading to enhanced absorption and efficacy.
Here are some examples of products that can be applied after microneedling:
- Hyaluronic Acid Serums: Help hydrate and plump the skin.
- Vitamin C Serums: Promote collagen production and protect against free radical damage.
- Growth Factors: Stimulate cell regeneration and repair.
- Anti-Aging Creams: Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
It's important to note that microneedling is not the same as mesotherapy. Mesotherapy involves injecting a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and other ingredients into the skin. While microneedling can be used in conjunction with mesotherapy, the two procedures are distinct.
