Microneeling is minimally invasive and safe for all skin types. It stimulates collagen production. It is also called ‘collagen induction therapy’. When the treatment is carried out correctly, a skin reaction will occur where the skin heals the holes with just the right amount of collagen. The result is noticeably fewer scars and wrinkles. The color of the skin and skin structure will also improve significantly.
It is important that this treatment is carried out by a professional. There are products on the market for home use and non-medical professionals offering this treatment. This gives microneeling a bad name. Incorrect use can be dangerous and can lead to skin irritation, infections, scars, viruses such as warts or herpes and damage to the skin color or skin structure.
Since the result of microneeling comes from stimulating collagen production, the treatment needs time until the results show. Collagen production takes a few weeks and the results will be optimal after a few months. So some patience is required for this treatment, but the result will be long-lasting. The results will last longer if you avoid the sun and if you do not smoke.
