MICRONEEDLING IN BURLINGAME, CA
When you’re dealing with issues like acne scars, wrinkles, or large pores, you may feel uncomfortable with the way that you look. It’s important to know that there are treatments available to help promote the production of collagen in your skin, which can help treat these issues. One common treatment is known as microneedling. This is a non-surgical treatment that can help improve the overall appearance of your skin and help you look as good as you feel.
Understanding Microneedling
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure done by your dermatologist. The treatment uses small, sterilized needles to prick the skin and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This helps your skin produce collagen and new skin tissue, which can appear smoother, firmer, and more even. The treatment is minimally invasive and doesn’t require much downtime. You should be able to go back to your normal activities quickly.
Each session can last about 30 minutes, and you’ll likely need multiple sessions for the best results. You might need anywhere from 4 to 6 sessions, and you’ll have to maintain this treatment to continue your desired results. Microneedling can help treat issues such as:
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Sagging skin
- Dark spots
- Uneven skin tone
It’s important to take care of your skin after microneedling. You should be washing with a gentle cleanser and protecting your skin from the sun. Avoid sun exposure as much as possible, or be sure to use sunscreen to prevent any sun damage that could occur. Avoid wearing makeup for the first week of recovery to protect your skin from any irritation.
