Microneedling Q & A
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment designed to stimulate regeneration in your skin. The process kickstarts your body’s collagen production.
Collagen is the protein in your skin that helps it stay plump, smooth, and elastic. By starting the process of developing new collagen, microneedling helps your skin look vibrant, even, and taut.
This innovative treatment is ideal for addressing a wide range of skin conditions, including:
- Discoloration and unwanted pigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Scars, including acne scars
- Large pores
- Sagging skin
How does microneedling work?
Microneedling is effective because it triggers your body’s natural healing and regeneration processes.
During your microneedling treatment, your SINY® Dermatology microneedling practitioner moves a microneedling device over your skin. As the device moves, it creates tiny pinpricks in the surface of your skin using microneedles.
The body registers these microinjuries and kickstarts its natural healing process by producing collagen. At the same time, the microneedles themselves break up scar tissue and pigmentation, making it easier for your new, healthy, unblemished skin to shine.
You’ll leave your microneedling appointment glowing, with an immediate improvement in your skin’s tone and texture. But that’s not all. Over the next few weeks, your skin continues to improve as your body builds its new network of collagen.
One microneedling treatment might be sufficient to deliver your desired results. If you’d like to see greater skin transformation, SINY® Dermatology offers a series of multiple microneedling appointments designed to help you reach your skin goals.
Does microneedling hurt?
SINY® Dermatology prioritizes your comfort. The microneedles used during this treatment are tiny to minimize your discomfort. They also use a topical numbing solution to ensure you’re relaxed during your appointment.
Is microneedling only for the face?
No, microneedling is used anywhere you want to improve the appearance of your skin. It’s ideal for breaking up scars and stretch marks anywhere on the body. Microneedling is also used to minimize the appearance of cellulite.
