As an experienced skincare practitioner with over 30 years of experience, I have witnessed the evolution of various skincare treatments over time. Among the most popular are skin microneedling, chemical peels and laser treatment. In this article, we will explore the benefits of skin microneedling compared to chemical peels and laser treatment.
Skin microneedling is a minimally invasive skincare treatment that uses sterile, super fine needles in a single use pen-like cartridge to produce hundreds of punctures into the skin at controlled depths of 0.1mm up to 1.5mm to stimulating the body’s natural healing process. Compared to chemical peels and laser treatments, skin microneedling is gentler on the skin as the upper surface is not removed making it an excellent option for those with sensitive skin or those who prefer a more natural approach.
One of the significant benefits of skin microneedling is its ability to improve skin quality. The puncturing of the skin encourages the production of collagen – which gives strength and structure and elastin which provides elasticity – a combination which helps to firm, tighten and smooth the skin. This results in a more youthful appearance and improved skin texture.
Another benefit of skin microneedling is its ability to lighten uneven pigmentation. This treatment helps to reduce the appearance of dark marks from previous spots and sun damage,
In addition, microneedling can also improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As we age, our skin’s natural collagen production decreases, resulting in the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Microneedling encourages collagen production, helping to plump and smooth the skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Moreover, skin microneedling is an excellent option for those with scarring from previous acne, trauma, or surgery. The puncturing of the skin stimulates the body’s natural healing process, resulting in the regeneration of new skin cells. This can help to reduce the appearance of scarring and improve overall skin texture.
It is important to note that not all skin microneedling devices are created equal. It is crucial to seek professional expert treatment using CE certificated medical needling devices like our Genuine Dermastamp- eDS. These devices are safe and effective, delivering precise and controlled treatments.
Other microneedling devices that are not CE certificated may not be as safe and could potentially cause damage to the skin. It is crucial to choose a reputable practitioner who uses only the safest and most effective devices who is competent in clean aseptic working practices to ensure the best possible results.
Your practitioner should prepare your skin before treatment to ensure its thoroughly clean and apply appropriate soothing, hydrating skincare afterwards. You should be provided with homecare advice with a specific aftercare regime whilst skin is in its post treatment recovery. Always ask what your treatment will include as preparation, during the procedure and as aftercare.
In conclusion, skin microneedling is an excellent option for those looking to improve their skin quality, lighten uneven pigmentation, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and improve scarring from previous acne, trauma, or surgery. When compared to chemical peels and laser treatment microneedling has been shown to be as effective in the short and long term with fewer complications and less recovery time
After treatment you can expect your skin to be reddened, with a sensation of warmth and tightness which should resolve in twenty four hours with the appropriated home skincare
Remember to seek professional expert treatment using CE certificated medical needling devices like our Genuine Dermastamp eDS for the safest and most effective results.
