What Is Microneedling?

A spotless complexion is everyone’s no. 1 beauty wish, so it’s no wonder there’s such a wide range of facials available, and new techniques are emerging very often. But in the sea of options, it’s hard to know what treatments actually work and which don’t.

The microneedling facial, however, is something everyone agrees works: dermatologists, estheticians, and satisfied clients.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, treats a number of skin issues. It’s a minimally invasive treatment and results can be slow, but they are definitely worth it. If you’re dealing with a skin imperfection you want fixed, chances are this is the treatment you need. It’s a skin treatment used for improving the appearance of the skin, improving its texture and treating imperfections on various parts like:

  • Face
  • Scalp
  • Body

The DR.pen is a revolutionary micro-needling device which aims to tighten, lift & rejuvenate skin.

The Dr Pen can:

  • Improve skin
  • Reduce fine lines & wrinkles
  • Reduce the appearance of large pores
  • Reduce appearance of stretch marks
  • Reduce the appearance of acne scarring
  • Stimulate hair growth
  • Safer & more effective in piercing the skin than traditional skin needling rollers

The Dr Pen has a superior effect on collagen and elastin rejuvenation as well as multi-speed and adjustable needle depth. Highest effectiveness – effectively treats hard-to-reach places and promotes scar-less healing and natural collagen reproduction.

How Exactly Does This Work?

The treatment implies puncturing the skin in countless tiny dot incisions, reaching live skin cells in the dermis layer of the skin. Either a roller or a pen with a tip covered in thin needles is moved over the treated area, pressing the needles against the skin and puncturing it.

These micro-injuries heal into new, improved skin, gradually diminishing the targeted skin issues, and improving the overall state of the treated area.

When the skin is injured, the body starts a regeneration process which patches up the injured spot with healthy new skin.

The production of collagen, a protein considered the main building block of the skin, and elastin, which ensures skin elasticity, is triggered. These components are sent to the channels made in the skin, forming new fibers. The skin needling has to be repeated several times to achieve the so-called collagen remodeling, but collagen production can be increased by up to 400{0b51292cf99ed4f5aa9f9a8fd9fe7f04b3f9f5ede98194b57b4b9d143c566983}.

With the rise in the amount of these components the body itself generates in the skin, more fibers are generated, the structure of the skin is improved, and as a result, so is its appearance.

For an extra effect, nourishing serums which can be specifically formulated to target the skin issue at hand are injected. This form of serum application is much more efficient than the basic topical one, since the substances penetrate the skin rather than staying on its surface.

Does Microneedling Hurt?

Micro needling face or body isn’t really painful, since numbing is used to eliminate the pain.

Some areas might be more uncomfortable than others, though, depending on the thickness and the sensitivity of the skin. The pins that puncture the skin are very thin, but the longer they are, the more discomfort they may cause. If you feel actual pain at any moment, tell your esthetician and have them readjust the needle length.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Although a single session may give an improvement, the best results are achieved with 3-6 sessions, depending on the severity of the skin issue.

Collagen remodeling, which is what brings about the improvement in skin texture, is achieved over time and with several sessions. Most clients get a significant improvement within 3 sessions

How Do I Prepare?

You should avoid certain things before the treatment and between sessions to make sure your skin isn’t compromised:

  • Avoid Accutane for 6 months before the treatment.
  • Avoid laser/IPL treatments for at least 2 weeks before the treatment.
  • Don’t expose the area to sunlight at least 2 weeks before the treatment.
  • Don’t take blood-thinning meds like ibuprofen or aspirin at least 1 week before the treatment – you’ll bleed more and you might bruise.
  • Don’t wax the area or use hair removal creams for 5-7 days before the – treatment.
  • Don’t use retinol, acids, mechanical and chemical exfoliation, topical antibiotics, and similar harsh products on the area for 5-7 days before the treatment – these thin out the skin and make it more sensitive
  • Don’t shave the area on the day of the treatment.
  • Don’t take anti-inflammatory meds at least 3 days before the treatment – these can interfere with your natural inflammatory process as a response to the skin needling.

*If you’re prone to cold sores, consult your GP and have them prescribe an antiviral med before the treatment to prevent a flare-up.

Different Treatments sessions & Intervals:

  • Facial Rejuvenation (4-6 treatments @ Intervals of 4 weeks)
  • Acne Scarring (6-10 treatments @ Intervals of 6 weeks)
  • Stretch Marks (at least 10 treatments @ Intervals of 6 weeks)
  • Hair Loss (10 Treatments @ Intervals of 3 weeks apart)

*Sessions Generally Takes 30-60min depending on number of areas being treated

When Can I Expect Results?

It’s important to understand that the effects of microneedling don’t happen overnight. Collagen remodeling takes time, and the best results are achieved within a few months and with several sessions.

That said, you will notice your skin looking bright and radiant a few days after the treatment. But different effects show up at different times. Skin tightening happens almost immediately.

Diminishing scars takes the most time. Some improvement will happen quite soon, but the final result takes patience.

How Long Will It Last?

This depends on what you want to achieve. Brightening, tightening and anti-aging effects can last anywhere from 4 months to a year, but can be maintained perpetually with additional sessions. Scalp microneedling also needs to be maintained.

Scar reduction can be permanent.

MICRONEEDLING RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS 

Is Microneedling Safe?

Yes, as long as you’re a good candidate for it and it’s done right. You should never go to an uncertified, self-taught esthetician who doesn’t have all the credentials. An improper technique could damage the skin, so do your research and find a technician you can trust.

What Are the Risks of Microneedling?

There are very few risks of microneedling, all of which can be prevented.

  • Since serums and numbing are used during the procedure, there’s a chance of an allergic reaction. That’s why a patch test should always be done before the procedure.
  • If the treatment is done in unsterile conditions or the equipment isn’t sterilized properly, or if the area gets contaminated before it heals, you could get an infection. If you notice the area is very itchy, red for longer than 7 days, or there’s a rash, contact your esthetician or a dermatologist.
  • Skin damage or scarring. This can happen due to improper technique, or if the length of the needle isn’t suitable for the skin. That’s why you should never go to an untrained, uncertified, or inexperienced esthetician.

How Long Does the Skin Need to Heal After Microneedling?

The micro-injuries will close up within 7 days after each session, but to make sure the skin is totally healed, further sessions should be booked at least 3 weeks apart, ideally 4-6 weeks.

What Can I Expect During Healing?

The skin will start turning red as soon as halfway through the session, and the healing process starts virtually right afterwards. Here’s what you can expect in the week after the procedure:

Redness

Your skin will be red for several hours after the procedure, and it will gradually fade to a pink, and finally subside. Redness is expected for about a day for the microneedling facial, but it can last up to 7 days on different areas of the body.

Tenderness

Some tenderness is expected in the hours after the procedure.

Heat

Most clients report their skin feels hot in the days after the procedure.

Tightness, Dryness and Skin Dehydration

In the days after the treatment, your skin will feel tight and dry, much like a sunburn. You can relieve this discomfort with prescribed moisturizers.

Possible Swelling

You may notice some minor swelling in the treated area, but it should subside within a day or 2.

Possible Bruising

Minor bruising may emerge, but it will go away within 5-7 days.
