Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure done to treat minor scarring related to wounds, aging, or acne. The skin is pricked with tiny sterilized needles during this procedure. A person undergoing this procedure may expect brighter, younger, and more beautiful skin. To get desired results, it is best to get this procedure done by experts and use the best skin care product such as professional microneedling serums.

How does professional microneedling work?

In this procedure, a device containing ultra-fine needles is used to create punctures in the skin. It might appear a scary procedure to you but it’s not when done by a qualified and experienced professional. This procedure is all about creating a controlled skin injury. It helps the skin to work harder so that it can heal faster. Many experts believe that the slight injury created by the microneedling procedure can stimulate the growth of collagen, a major component of the skin. And collagen production can help improve the appearance of some scars, wrinkles, and other aging signs. In short, it is an effective way to maintain a youthful look.

Many people also perform this procedure at home to help active ingredients penetrate deeper into their skin leading to better skin care product efficacy. Usually, a microneedling tool is used to create tiny microchannels in the skin and ensure product ingredients work more quickly and effectively as possible. To create a perfect gliding medium for the at-home procedure, you can use a professional microneedling serum such as ‘Hyla Active’ serum.

Is this cosmetic procedure suitable for all skin types?

Those who want to tackle the signs of aging or improve skin glow and beauty can expect outstanding results from microneedling procedures. If you are looking for an effective way to reduce acne scarring, you can also consider this treatment. However, if you are experiencing active acne or rosacea, it is best to consult a skin specialist before undergoing this procedure. This is because active acne can spread the bacteria around your face or worsen inflammation. 

So, it is advisable not to use at-home microneedling on areas where you have active acne, or take advice from experts. Also, it is very important to use the right equipment and professional microneedling serum product specially designed for home use to get the desired results. 

How to do microneedling at home?

• Thoroughly sterilize the microneedling tool before you use it.
• Cleanse your skin well.
• Apply the professional microneedling serum before using the tool.
• Go over the facial area in an asterisk motion: up and down, diagonally left up to right, and vice versa.
• Massage the leftover product (if any) into the affected skin area.
• Avoid makeup for 24 hours.

The best time to do this procedure is before bed. This is because active ingredients can get enough time to penetrate deeper into your skin while you sleep. It should not be done more than twice a week. 

Which skincare product can you use before this cosmetic procedure?

Professional microneedling serums may be most effective in delivering the desired results. A serum, designed with the right combination of ingredients including hyaluronic acid, zinc or Vitamin B, etc can allow actives to penetrate deeper into your skin. 

It’s good if you are using already good skincare products. But if not, it’s time to buy them now! Microneedling will help you get the most out of the skincare products. This procedure not only reduces the appearance of fine lines, but it also improves hydration and gives your skin a healthy glow.
