Micro needling: the act of causing microscopic, skin-deep damage by passing a pen or wand with multiple tiny needles over the area/s to be treated. This causes the body to react by sending white blood cells and increased blood supply to the region to super-power the healing process.

The result is skin that becomes more radiant, is stronger, and looks super-health.

The treatment is all the rage—and with good reason. Read on to discover the 10 great benefits of micro needling.

Ready to explore the many benefits of micro needling? Here we go…

  1. Anti-aging properties: Micro needling is an excellent anti-aging treatment. Skin becomes slacker as it ages. This is due to the natural reduction in collagen. Micro needling stimulates the production of more collagen, helping to reduce sagging. It also produces a healthy, radiant glow that combats the sallowness that often increases as the years roll by.
  2. Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines: Because the process encourages collagen and elastin production, it helps provide structure around any lines and wrinkles. Thus, crow’s feet, forehead, and other lines become less noticeable.
  3. Hides the effects of sun damage: Too much UV exposure causes issues, such as sun/age spots, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation. Micro needling stimulates the turnover of new skin cells, therefore reducing such issues and evening out the look of the skin.
  4. Great for treating scars and acne: It’s a great treatment for minor scars and those caused by acne. Again, the stimulation in collagen, elastin, and new skin cells can speed up how quickly these reduce in appearance.
  5. Effective against stretch marks: Micro needling can be used anywhere on the body and it’s an extremely efficient way of reducing the look of stretch marks.
  6. Helps shrink overly large pores: The stimulation of the building blocks of skin—collagen and elastin—means that the skin around large pores plumps up. In turn, this makes the pores themselves look smaller. The difference can be quite astounding, so is often recommended by dermatologists if you suffer from the condition.
  7. Treats rosacea: One of the consequences of rosacea is that collagen within the skin breaks down too quickly. One of the biggest benefits of micro needling treatment is that it stimulates the production of this, hence it’s an excellent approach to improve the look of skin that’s affected by rosacea.
  8. Helps deliver topical treatments to a deeper level: Applying quality serums, creams, and other skin products in combination with or just after a micro needling session mean they can travel down the microscopic holes and target the deeper layers of the dermis.
  9. Treats acne: Used in combination with topical acne treatments, micro needling can help speed up the rate of healing.
  10.  Less invasive than laser or chemical peels: Micro needling aftereffects are much shorter than peels. Compare the typical 48-72 hours of healing after micro needling to the 3-10 days of laser treatment and up to 21 days for a medium or intensive chemical peel and you can easily see the difference,
