What exactly happens during microneedling?

Dermatologists (doctors who specialize in skincare and skin disorders) and aestheticians can perform microneedling. If you want to try microneedling somewhere other than a doctor’s office, ensure all equipment is disinfected.

There are versions of the homemade microneedling device. But dermatologists warn against using them because you could accidentally injure your skin, and you might not know how to disinfect the needles properly.

This procedure usually takes 10-20 minutes, depending on how wide the area is. Most people need four to six treatments to see significant changes.

First, you will be given a numbing cream that is smooth on your face so that you no longer feel the sting. Then, the technician performing Professional Microneedling Toronto will move a small needle or pen needle all over your face. The needle will make small cuts in your skin and cause some bleeding. Your doctor may spread cream or serum on your face afterward.

The goal of microneedling is to start your body’s healing process by adding collagen and elastin to repair minor injuries. In addition, collagen will help fill and smooth wrinkles.

The bottom line
