Microneedling on the face: What is it? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Microneedling is a minimally invasive medical-aesthetic procedure<\/strong> that improves the texture and appearance of the skin from the very first session. Using a micro-needling device, it generates controlled trauma to the skin that stimulates collagen production<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Before each session, an anaesthetic cream<\/strong> is applied to the face to minimize any discomfort for the patient.<\/p>\n

Microneedling on the face can be combined with the application of vitamins, which help to boost the results of the treatment.<\/p>\n

Both methods improve the texture and appearance of the skin, but microdermabrasion only works on the top layer of the skin. For this reason, microneedling is more suitable for treating problems in deeper layers<\/strong>, such as scars. <\/p>\n
