What Is Microneedling and How Does It Work?

Is your skin looking tired, uneven, or less smooth than it used to? Maybe you’ve tried different skincare products but still feel like your skin needs something more. Microneedling is a popular skin rejuvenation treatment designed to encourage your skin’s natural renewal process and improve the appearance of its texture.

At Salt & Light Emporium, microneedling is one of the treatments available for clients looking to give their skin some extra attention and support its natural renewal process.

What Is Microneedling?

A treatment that works with your skin

Microneedling uses very fine, sterile needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. While this may sound intimidating, these microscopic channels are created intentionally to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response.

As your skin responds, it begins producing more collagen and elastin, two proteins that help support the skin’s firmness, structure and elasticity.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Stimulating your skin’s natural renewal process with Microneedling

The treatment works by encouraging your skin to activate its natural repair process.

The controlled micro-injuries signal to the skin that it needs to begin repairing itself. This can stimulate collagen and elastin production, which may gradually improve the appearance of skin texture, firmness and smoothness.

Microneedling can also create tiny channels in the skin that may allow selected skincare products to be absorbed more effectively.

What Can Microneedling Help With?

More than just skin texture

Microneedling is commonly used to improve the appearance of:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Uneven skin texture
• Enlarged-looking pores
• Loss of firmness
• Dull or tired-looking skin

Rather than promising an overnight transformation, microneedling works with your skin’s natural renewal process, with improvements developing over time.

Who Is Microneedling For?

Could it be right for you?

Microneedling may be suitable for people who want to improve the appearance and texture of their skin without surgical treatment. However, everyone’s skin is different, so a professional consultation is important to determine whether the treatment is appropriate for your skin and goals.

What Can You Expect From a Treatment?

A personalised approach

Your skin will be assessed before treatment so your concerns and goals can be considered. After microneedling, your skin may appear temporarily red or feel sensitive, similar to mild sunburn. Following the recommended aftercare is important while your skin recovers.
