Microneedling typically involves some degree of discomfort, but the level of pain experienced can vary depending on the individual's pain tolerance and the depth of the microneedling treatment. During the procedure, a numbing cream can be applied to the treatment area to minimize any pain or discomfort. Additionally, microneedling devices with smaller needles tend to be less painful than those with longer needles. Following the procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, or tenderness on the treated area for a few days, but these side effects are usually mild and resolve quickly. Overall, while microneedling may cause some discomfort, the benefits of the treatment often outweigh any temporary discomfort experienced during the procedure.
Studies have revealed that microneedling promotes an increase in various types of collagen in the skin, immediately beneath the outermost layer of skin, called the epidermis. This heightened collagen production can result in a more youthful-looking complexion and may reduce the appearance of skin concerns such as acne, fine lines and wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. By stimulating collagen production, microneedling can help rejuvenate the skin, improving its overall appearance and texture.
