5 Things to Know Before Trying Micro Needling

Are you like so many who are trying to find the secret Holy Grail to clearing up your acne scars? Trying to deal with them by doing everything to fade them, brighten your skin, and lighten them with treatments can be a hard success. Then the beauty world exploded with countless praising reports about micro needling, and hope became a real thing.

According to a 2009 study, almost 100% of micro-needling participants reported a noticeable difference and vast improvement in the appearance of their acne scars after a treatment. If you’re considering micro needling, below is every good and maybe not-so-pleasant thing you should know before you try it.

What Is Micro Needling?

It’s a procedure that uses a bunch of tiny needles to puncture the very first layer of skin. This process works to rejuvenate your skin by boosting collagen production, which in turn reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and elevates the overall texture of your skin.

The Benefits of Micro Needling:

  • Enhances texture of skin
  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Can help reduce scars and hyperpigmentation
  • Can reduce the appearance of wrinkles

The biggest benefit of micro-needling is its ability to radically enhance the texture of your skin. Micro-needling is a collagen-stimulating treatment great for general skin rejuvenation. It treats textural issues dealing with pores, acne scars, wrinkles, tightening sagging skin, and more.

What to Expect

Does it hurt? It ranges for everyone. Some may have more sensitivity to the micro needles than others, therefore a safe answer is that it doesn’t hurt, but it doesn’t feel good. Your forehead, hairline, and jawline will be more sensitive than other areas.

After the micro needling, a facial treatment is followed up with skin care products to help it repair and absorb the most needed ingredients for your skin concerns. The great thing about this treatment is there’s no real significant downtime. Afterward, there’s a little bit of redness but it’s a no-downtime kind of facial treatment, so most people leave a little bit red. A couple of hours later, you’re pretty much back to normal, and the next day, you can resume your normal skincare and normal activities.

Aftercare

Real talk, this lit-from-within glow is probably the favorite benefit from the procedure. The morning after micro needling, you’ll be so impressed by the radiance of your skin. That cheekbone glow won’t be from a highlighter, people. Another benefit is how soft your skin will feel and how the size of your pores will shrink significantly.

The Glow-Worthy Takeaway

Studies show that after this treatment, your topical products will feel deeply penetrating. This is so, so true. Your pores will feel so open and exposed—and makes it feel like your skin is efficiently absorbing products now (which can help you decide to take it easy on the face makeup with confidence). It’s incredibly beneficial and to receive the best results, a professional micro needling facial is the option to go for!

At Botanica, we’ll consult and go through the process with you every step to ensure your comfort and sensitivity are acclimated to the micro needling tool. Your skin will be radiant, soft, smooth and ready to take on your skin care products in a way like never before! Book your facial with Botanica Day Spa today at 727-441-1711!

Love,
