What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling involves the use of tiny sterile needles to create micropunctures in the skin to stimulate the wound healing process in the dermis without causing significant damage to the epidermis. The wound healing process causes an increase in the amount of growth factors in the skin. These growth factors act to increase the production of collagen and elastin in the dermis.

Microneedling is becoming an increasingly popular method of skin rejuvenation to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and also in the treatment of scarring. 

Does it Hurt?

The nature of microneedles means that the process of microneedling is relatively pain-free. The process is often described by clients as feeling like a scratching sensation. In fact, a study published in Anaesthesia & Analgesia* found that the sensation caused by microneedling was indistinguishable from that of a smooth surface! However, it is possible for some to find the microneedling process uncomfortable.

Depending on the depth of microneedling treatment that you choose, a local anaesthetic cream can be applied to the treated area to minimise discomfort throughout the process.

Is it Safe?

Microneedling is considered to be a safe, minimally invasive procedure that when performed by qualified practitioners, is very well tolerated in patients. As with any aesthetic treatment, there are a number of side effects that generally resolve soon after the procedure. These include temporary redness of the treated area, itching and a small amount of bleeding around the puncture site.
