- Microneedling Explained
Microneedling has recently become more and more popular, thanks to influencers and models alike posting about their skincare routines on the "Gram" But, is microneedling really for everyone? Here’s everything you need to know about microneedling.
Microneedling is a medical procedure used by aesthetic practitioners to treat a range of skin conditions. It involves using multiple tiny, sterile needles to gently puncture the skin in a targeted area to create controlled micro-trauma.
This can be performed using different devices, including a mechanical pen, a roller, or a stamping device such as the WOW fusion® system.
Microneedling is often referred to as “collagen induction therapy.” The tiny punctures created during treatment stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin.
Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that act as the building blocks of healthy skin. They help maintain firmness, smoothness, and elasticity. As we age, our natural production of these proteins slows down, which can lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and dull skin.
By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, microneedling helps the skin appear firmer, smoother, healthier, and more radiant.
Another key benefit of microneedling is that it improves the absorption of topical skincare products. The micro-channels created in the skin allow active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin barrier, making them significantly more effective.
Commonly used ingredients alongside microneedling include:
These ingredients help maximise the results of the treatment.
Microneedling is widely used for overall skin rejuvenation, but it can also help improve a variety of specific skin concerns, including:
Because the treatment stimulates natural skin repair, it can be effective for improving both the appearance and health of the skin.
Microneedling is often considered one of the most effective treatments for improving overall skin quality. However, it may not be suitable for everyone.
For this reason, we recommend contacting your local WOW fusion practitioner for a professional skin assessment to determine whether microneedling is the right treatment for your skin.
If you would like to try microneedling, you can book a Facial Consultation with our therapist Kelly to discuss your skin concerns and treatment options.
