Microneedling Overview

Microneedling involves using a fine needle to create tiny wounds, or channels, in the skin. This process stimulates the production of capillaries, elastin, and collagen. It is also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy. In radiofrequency microneedling, RF waves are delivered through these channels, causing additional controlled damage. This boosts the benefits of standard microneedling, which targets:

• Scars, including acne scars
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Hyperpigmentation or dark spots
• Uneven skin tone
• Skin elasticity
• The appearance of stretch marks
• Hair growth in individuals with alopecia

Potential Risks

As with any cosmetic procedure, microneedling has some risks, including:

• Bleeding
• Bruising
• Infection
• Peeling

Who Should Avoid Microneedling?

You may not be a suitable candidate if you:

• Have certain skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema
• Have open wounds or active acne
• Have recently undergone radiation therapy
• Have a history of problematic skin scarring

Pregnant individuals may need medical approval before undergoing treatment.
