The truth is, it’s not surprising that celebrities have chosen microneedling as a star treatment , as the small micropunctures that it makes on the skin, in synergy with the cocktail of active ingredients applied during the protocol, offer highly effective, spectacular results.

This cosmetic procedure is capable of rejuvenating the face, stimulating collagen and elastin production and improving scars, wrinkles, marks, etc. Its benefits are endless!

Contrary to what it may seem, this technique is practically painless, even for sensitive skin, and is suitable for all ages. It’s perfect for those who want the results of medical-cosmetic procedures but without the subsequent pain or complications. In this post, we’ll tell you what this acclaimed technique involves.

What is microneedling and how does it work?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive technique which involves making micropunctures in the skin at an adjustable depth. A controlled skin lesion of a just a few millimeters is induced, which stimulates skin regeneration, achieving a double action:

On the one hand, it causes a reaction of the cells, which fight off the aggression by activating all the skin’s repair mechanisms, while growth factor, collagen and elastin production is stimulated, all of which are essential for maintaining skin youth and beauty.

On the other, micro-channels are created which allow the active ingredient concentrate applied during the session to penetrate deeply. In other words, a temporary, almost painless mechanical skin alteration is caused, to enhance the absorption and action of the active ingredients, achieving very pleasing results from the first application.

Microneedling can be used in combination with other treatments, by alternating sessions to boost the results even further, or to treat the different needs of the skin.
