The Beauty Benefits of Microneedling, and Trust Us, There’s Plenty
Don’t knock it ‘till you try it. L'Officiel reveals why microneedling has celebrities hooked.
There’s something wildly unsettling about inviting needles to roll over your skin, we hear you. However, upon learning of the compelling benefits of microneedling, you too will reconsider how far you will go to have the perfect complexion.
Learn about the procedure that keeps celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Angelina Jolie, and Hailey Bieber, eternally youthful. From reducing the appearance of acne scars to minimizing pore size, the benefits of microneedling are undeniably attractive.
What is Microneedling?
The procedure is as it sounds: a noninvasive roller coated with super-fine needles is rolled across the skin to create microscopic punctures within the skin’s first layer. The barely-there pokes kickstart the body’s instinctual healing process, flooding the “injured” site with restorative white blood cells, simultaneously promoting the production of collagen and elastin (aka the fountain of youth). New collagen-rich tissue is created, with improved oxygen and blood supply, leaving behind youthfully luminous skin.
Will it Hurt?
Whilst it may sound intimidating, many patients find the procedure to be relatively painless, resulting in minimal downtime with noticeable results. Initial sensitivity and slight swelling are common post-procedure, however, any lingering redness can often be remedied by appropriate beauty rest.
What are the benefits?
The procedure serves as a one-stop-shop. Collagen-rich tissue promotes tone and texture, improving skin quality and actively reducing scars. Microneedling can be repeated as needed to provide consecutive relief with effective results. The treatment holds natural anti-ageing properties, decreasing the appearance of fine lines and replenishing the skin with oxygen and collagen. From minimizing pores to diminishing the appearance of stretch marks, microneedling is equipped to tackle many skincare needs.
