Microneedling 101: What to Expect and Why It’s Worth It
Are you ready to level up your skincare routine and achieve glowing, rejuvenated skin? Microneedling might just be the game-changer you’ve been looking for. At Canvas Skin, we’re proud to offer expert microneedling treatments that help our clients achieve smoother, more youthful skin. Here’s everything you need to know about microneedling, from the benefits to the process and aftercare tips.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen and elastin production. The result? Firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
This treatment can address a variety of skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone and texture
Stretch marks
The Benefits of Microneedling
Boosts Collagen Production: As we age, collagen production slows down, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. Microneedling jumpstarts collagen production, helping to restore skin’s elasticity and firmness.
Improves Skin Texture: Whether you’re dealing with acne scars, rough patches, or enlarged pores, microneedling smooths and refines your skin’s surface.
Enhances Product Absorption: The tiny channels created during microneedling allow your skincare products to penetrate deeper, making them more effective.
Safe for Most Skin Types: Microneedling is versatile and suitable for a wide range of skin tones and types.
What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment
At Canvas Skin, we prioritize your comfort and results. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the microneedling process:
Consultation: Before your treatment, we’ll assess your skin and discuss your goals to ensure microneedling is the right option for you.
Preparation: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to minimize any discomfort.
The Procedure: Using a specialized microneedling device, our expert estheticians will glide the needles across your skin. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Aftercare Guidance: After the procedure, your skin may appear red and feel slightly sensitive—similar to a mild sunburn. This is completely normal and will subside within a few days.
Microneedling Aftercare Tips
Post-treatment care is crucial to achieving the best results. Here’s how to care for your skin after microneedling:
Keep It Clean: Avoid touching your face and cleanse with a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser like our Airo Face Wash.
Hydrate: Use a hydrating serum or moisturizer to soothe and replenish your skin.
Protect with SPF: Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so make sure to apply our New Sol All-Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 daily.
Skip Makeup: Give your skin a break from makeup for at least 24 hours.
Avoid Harsh Products: Steer clear of retinols, exfoliants, and active ingredients for a few days to prevent irritation.
