Micro-needling has become the talk of the town about is one of the best facial treatments that you can get for yourself. But is it really worth it? To know the real value that Microneedling offers, why don’t we dig deeper about what it is?
What is Micro Needling?
Micro Needling, which is a medical cosmetic treatment, can be beneficial for dealing with different skin issues such as: fine acne scarring, scars, unevenness in skin tone/texture and related problems. It can also help to treat fine lines or wrinkles among other things. This process makes use of thousands of small needles that make small holes in the skin. It makes your skin’s natural healing response to produce more collagen in that part of your body. This helps heal the injured skin and keep it firm and smooth.
Does Micro Needling Hurt?
Knowing that this process uses thousands of needles to puncture your skin, it is normal to be scared and ask if it hurts. But to answer the question, it does not hurt at all! Before doing the Micro Needling first, the process starts by sanitizing your skin and then applying the numbing cream to allow it to set in your skin.
The Micro Needling procedure usually consumes only about 20 minutes. Considering the numbing cream, you probably will not feel the needles glide across your skin. However, there might be certain areas that are more sensitive like on the forehead, jawline and so forth which depends upon client’s sensitivity level. After the procedure has been finished, a calming serum is put on your skin along with an hydrating face mask to soothe it.
