Microneedling is a rapidly growing aesthetic technique involving micro-perforations beneath the skin using an electric pen equipped with micro-needles of various sizes. Its primary aim is to improve skin texture, enhance radiance, and restore volume.
This technique can be applied to the face, neck, décolletage, and the backs of the hands. It is particularly effective in reducing scars, especially those related to acne. By creating tiny perforations, the micro-needles stimulate fibroblasts, which are essential cells in the production of collagen and elastin. Highly sought after in the United States and Europe, this method promotes skin regeneration, thus helping to reduce scars and improve overall skin texture.
Beyond its effectiveness against scars, microneedling also helps diminish wrinkles and restore lost volume. By stimulating the dermis, this technique results in a visible yet subtle enhancement of facial radiance and skin density.
A growing trend
Microneedling has now become a popular treatment among many celebrities and influencers, with notable advocates including Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Kardashian, and Demi Moore.
This method has established itself as a must-have in the field of aesthetic treatments, recognised for its both visible and long-lasting results. Its popularity is further amplified by social media and recommendations from health professionals, reflecting a rapidly expanding market where surgery and rejuvenation techniques are experiencing significant growth. By adopting these treatments, celebrities help set trends and spark increasing interest in these modern beauty solutions.
What happens after a microneedling session?
Following a microneedling session, it is normal to experience some mild side effects, such as:
- Skin redness: the skin may appear red, similar to a sunburn, due to stimulation of the skin layers.
- Tightness sensation: you may feel slight tension or tingling in the treated areas.
- Mild peeling: this natural exfoliation is part of the skin renewal process.
These effects are temporary and typically resolve within 24 to 72 hours. It is crucial to follow your practitioner’s recommendations for optimal recovery, including avoiding makeup, saunas, and sun exposure for a few days.
Hyperthermal water after microneedling
Hyperthermal water, known for its soothing properties and proven effectiveness in just 30 seconds, is recommended following a microneedling session.
- Soothing irritations: it alleviates redness and sensations of tightness.
- Deep hydration: hyperthermal water provides intense hydration, which is essential after micro-perforations.
- Strengthening the skin barrier: thanks to its mineral composition, it helps restore the skin barrier, thus facilitating the healing process.
