Micro needling has become a widely recognised non-invasive procedure in the field of dermatology and cosmetology, offering a method to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars, and enhance overall skin health.

This technique utilises fine needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing processes and promoting collagen production.

History of Micro needling

The concept of micro needling dates back to ancient times, but modern micro needling techniques began emerging in the late 20th century.

The procedure gained significant attention in the 1990's with the advent of the dermaroller, a handheld device designed to create tiny punctures on the skin's surface. Over time, advancements in the technology and understanding of skin physiology have refined micro needling techniques, leading to the development of automated devices that offer more consistent and customizable results.

Today, micro needling is a popular cosmetic procedure that addresses a variety of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars and hyperpigmentation.

It is also known to improve skin elasticity and enhance the absorption of topical skincare products.

Benefits of Micro needling

Micro needling offers a multitude of benefits, making it a favoured procedure among dermatologists and patients alike:

1. Improved Skin Texture: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, micro needling can enhance skin texture and firmness, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

2. Scar Reduction: Effective in treating acne scars and other types of scars, micro needling promotes the regeneration of healthy skin tissue.

3. Enhanced Product Absorption: The micro channels created during the procedure increase the permeability of the skin, allowing for better absorption of topical skincare treatments.

4. Minimal Downtime: Though some redness and sensitivity might occur post-treatment, recovery time is typically quick, and patients can resume most activities within a day or two.
