✨Let’s talk MICRONEEDLING 💉🧪

Microneedling may be one of the quickest and easiest ways to get more youthful-looking skin.

Not only does it make your skin look rejuvenated but it can also treat acne, help reduce scarring, and even reduce oil production and blackheads!

If you get microneedling done there are some things you need to know before the procedure because they can seriously impact your results.

Microneedling is a procedure designed specifically to invoke the healing response in your skin by causing microtrauma in a targeted way.

Using a pen with a small head that contains 10+ needles, it vibrates at high power, and at a certain depth, to pierce the superficial layer of your skin thousands of times over a few seconds.

These small and controlled piercings go into your epidermis and even the upper layers of the dermis to stimulate the healing response in your skin which results in increased collagen formation and elastin formation.

But what does that mean for you?

It means your skin becomes more plump, more textured, and smoother in the process.

But beyond these basic benefits, microneedling also offers several other VERY beneficial side effects that you can take advantage of.

These range from healing acne, reducing scar formation and even helping you look 5+ years younger!​

​The microneedling procedure takes about 1 hour and to get the best results should leave the skin with some pinpoint bleeding (yes some blood is a GOOD thing).

Even with the pinpoint bleeding and the slight redness that occurs for up to about 1-1.5 days afterward, you will notice an IMMEDIATE improvement in the texture and quality of your skin.

How does this happen?

The pinprick needles stimulate the remodeling of existing collagen and promote the formation of new collagen and revascularization (blood vessels) in the skin.

Collagen and elastin are the two components of your skin that give your skin the normal “plump” look every woman wants.

And starting at around age 30 this collagen starts to degrade naturally (other things can even make the degradation happen more quickly as well), which is when women start to notice slight changes and sagging in their skin.

The good news is that this healing process starts almost IMMEDIATELY after the procedure.

Which is why you notice a soft texture to your skin immediately afterward.

Even the day after the procedure it just looks like you have a light sunburn from the redness, but you can go to work or out on a date the following day if necessary. ​

Another huge benefit is that skin needling (or microneedling, they are both words for the same procedure) helps reduce acne scars which are notoriously difficult to treat​.

So how does microneedling help with scarring?

When you have any sort of scarring on your face (or anywhere on your body) your body naturally undergoes a process known as fibrosis.

This is good when healing, because it makes everything stick together, but beneath the skin, the glue is so strong that it can pull the skin down and create pock marks or scarring on the surface of the skin.

The microneedling procedure helps to “break up” all of the glue and fibrosis underneath the skin which allows the skin to “let go” of the tenting and release the surface of the skin.

Naturally, this results in a more smooth surface to your skin.

The best part?

Studies have shown that you can see results almost IMMEDIATELY after doing microneedling and in as little as two procedures.

Microneedling tends to work best on small scars, resulting in tenting of the skin or pocking of the skin.

It doesn’t work as well for large lacerations (like the kind of scars that require stitches). ​

This procedure is also great if you have a slightly uneven texture from years of acne, but not overt scarring (like the pock marks mentioned above). ​

Microneedling is one of the best to reduce blackheads.

This is another pretty cool side effect of microneedling and is especially helpful for women who suffer from LOTS of blackheads (especially those who have PCOS, or hormonal acne).

The controlled trauma and thousands of needle pokes liberate and knock out blackheads during the entire procedure.

Immediately after you will notice a reduction in the total volume of blackheads on your face (especially in your nose, but be careful because the nose is sensitive!).

You will also notice that your pores are smaller in size for about 3-4 weeks after the procedure due to the healing effects and revascularization that occur.

​The reduction in blackheads doesn’t last forever though! It usually only lasts around 3-4 weeks which is right in time for when you would need to do the procedure again.

You can further reduce black head and pore size by using the right kind of aftercare and Vitamin C serum. ​

Not only does microneedling ​help treat acne scars, but it can also help treat and stop acne.

How exactly it helps acne is not well understood but it seems to be because microneedling results in a reduction in sebum production and makes the skin less oily.

Reducing oil production on the skin and reducing blackheads likely plays a role as well…​

Either way, studies have shown that microneedling does indeed help treat acne.

This is mostly helpful because it means you can still get the treatment done if you are having active breakouts.

This is important because some procedures (like dermaplaning) shouldn’t be done if you have active pimples. ​

In my experience microneedling shouldn’t be the ONLY treatment you use for acne but it’s something you should explore because not only will it help stop acne but it will also treat any texture changes or small scars in your skin.

Pretty much any treatment that mechanically disrupts the epidermis will result in some exofliatiation.

Exfoliation refers to removing the upper surface of the epidermis, usually the stratum corneum (which is the uppermost skin layer).

This is important because your dead skin cells live on this layer and removing this layer of the epidermis makes your skin look fresh and smooth almost instantly.

This procedure isn’t as good as dermaplaning for exfoliation, but it still works!​

This might be the single best and most important benefit of microneedling…

It can help you LOOK younger and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

​How does microneedling make you look younger?

It has been shown that the small pin holes created by the thousands of needles​ break into the upper levels of the dermis and cause the release of growth factors to “repair” and “heal” from the microdamage that has been caused.

Your body is overreacting to the small trauma thinking that there is a BIGGER trauma and this healing process results in the release of growth factors that increase collagen and elastin levels.

​In addition to the stimulation of collagen, microtrauma also results in the formulation of tons of little blood vessels that supply blood, oxygen, and nutrients straight into the dermis.

The combination of these changes results in a reduction in wrinkles, healing of photodamage, and tightening of existing skin – all of which make you LOOK younger.

Finally, microneedling also helps with your skin tone and can reduce hyperpigmentation.

Hyperpigmentation refers to the slight changes in your skin that can occur from inflammation, pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, etc.

Any sort of skin problem results in changes in color to the underlying skin which doesn’t match the surrounding skin.

This leaves the skin looking blotchy and uneven.

So how does microneedling help?​

It is speculated that microneedling increases the expression of matrix mealloproteinases which reduces hyperpigmentation.

It’s also felt that the microneedling procedure reduces the growth of keratinocytes, but scientists don’t know for sure! ​

In addition, microneedling can (and should) be combined with Vitamin C serum to help the healing process and Vitamin C serum has been shown to balance melanin levels as well.

So really the combination of microneedling and Vitamin C serum is what you should be aiming for.

It’s also worth mentioning that microneedling is preferred over laser treatments of hyperpimentation in women with darker-colored skin (Fitzpatrick IV and V skin types).

The reason is that some women react with WORSENING pigmentation if using lasers and microneedling doesn’t have that problem. ​

Remember if you decide to get microneedling done the procedure can be painful…

After all, you are getting about a thousand tiny little poke holes into your epidermis.

Because of this, it’s generally recommended that you use some sort of topical numbing cream.

I use a BLT (benzocaine, lidocaine, and tetracaine) combination.

If you let topical numbing cream sit on the face for about 20 minutes before the procedure then the pain is VERY minimal.

You will still likely feel some of it ​but it should be around a 2-3 out of 10 on a pain scale.

If you are pregnant you can’t use the BLT numbing cream but you can still have the procedure done (as long as you can tolerate the pain!). ​

If you want to get results you need to make sure that you are following a couple of rules.

FIRST, you want to make sure that your practitioner is going deep enough.

Some of the cheaper dermapens only go to about 0.25 to 0.5mm. (Mine goes to 2.5 !)

In most cases, this is not enough to stimulate the collagen production we want or results in pinpoint bleeding.

In most cases, you will need at least a depth of 1.0mm and even up to 2.0 or 2.5 in some areas.

A good gauge to make sure you are going deep enough is if you have pinpoint bleeding after the procedure.

If you are bleeding slightly then you are on the right track.

In addition to the depth you can also boost your results by using Vitamin C serum and considering tretinoin before your procedure:

Vitamin C serum is another big deal when it comes to microneedling.

Most of the studies listed above used a combination of 20% vitamin C serum (in the L-ascorbic acid form) along with microneedling.

Adding Vitamin C serum to microneedling results in even more collagen formation, even better skin tones, and a reduction in your healing time.

Another consideration, although this is more advanced, is to use tretinoin or retinol products before your procedure.

Tretinoin helps to reduce the epidermal layer by increasing the turnover time of your skin.

This effectively makes your skin thinner, which means that pretty much any therapy you do (microneedling included) will have a boosted effect.

If I know someone has heavy scarring (like from acne) I will often recommend that they use tretinoin for 3-4 weeks BEFORE their microneedling procedure to get more benefit.

Be careful though:

If you use tretinoin then you need to let your artist know because your skin will be thinner and he/she may need to adjust the depth of the microneedle pen. ​

Wrapping it up :

Microneedling is probably one of my favorite procedures because it’s quick and provides serious and long-lasting results.

It’s no go-to therapy for women who want to look younger, for younger women with acne, or for women who have hormonal problems (like hypothyroidism and PCOS).

Just remember to use Vitamin C serum with your aftercare for even better results!

Now it’s your turn:

Have you had microneedling done?

Did it work for you?
