Microneedling
A skin procedure called micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy or CIT, involves puncturing the skin with a collection of minuscule, sterilized needles. Like fractional laser treatments, the goal of micro-needling is to encourage new collagen creation while promoting healing without scarring. Micro-needling has fewer adverse effects than laser treatment and requires less recovery time.
What conditions are treatable with microneedling?
Microneedling is commonly used to address fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring from surgeries, burns, etc. Additionally, it has shown excellent results in treating stretch marks.
What happens during a microneedling procedure?
To begin the procedure, you must first have a thorough skin examination. The doctor will evaluate the prospective treatment areas and collaborate with you to choose the best action.
Following the examination, the therapist typically uses a topical anesthetic cream before starting to treat the previously discussed regions. The service provider will gently pass up and down and make multiple passes over the area.
How many sessions are needed?
Usually, it takes about 3-4 sessions, six weeks apart
How long does a Microneedling session take?
The process is relatively quick; patients should plan a session to be an hour up to an hour and a half, depending on how many areas are to be treated.
