How To Get The Most Out Of Microneedling

You can have microneedling treatments, such as SkinPen microneedling treatments, done at your local salon. When you have microneedling done, you help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, make your skin look more even and blemish-free, help your skin absorb better hydration, and even help to reduce skin redness and uneven skin tone. Microneedling should always be done in an aesthetician's office and never done at home, although you can perform your aftercare and maintenance following your treatments at home.

You can get the most out micrconeedling by doing the following things. This way, you can have a more successful experience and be able to keep your results even longer.

Don't overdo your sessions

The way microneedling works is this: tiny needles on a needle roller or a pen-style applicator, such as the one used in SkinPen microneedling treatments, are applied gently to the skin's surface. This application causes tiny tears in the skin, which forces the skin to rejuvenate and create new collagen and skin cells. The goal of doing microneedling is to restore the skin to a smoother and healthier state.

Overdoing your treatments will cause your skin to stay damaged because it needs time to repair. Being patient and only having microneedling treatments done when your skincare professional tells you to is best for not only healing your skin but allowing your skin to continue having great results.

Don't forget to hydrate

Your skin will renew and repair itself far better when you take care of your skin between sessions than when you rely on the microneedling treatments alone to give your skin the results you want. Your skin will benefit from being hydrated and from special serums rich in vitamins and oils that can keep your skin supple and smooth. Ask your skincare specialist what serums they recommend for keeping your skin healthy since your skin requires care just like the rest of your body and will benefit from serums and lotions that are intended to protect and repair.

Don't abuse sun exposure

Microneedling treatments should be followed by sun protection since exposed skin is tender and susceptible to sun damage more than ever. Keep sunscreen on your skin at all times, especially after you have any microneedling sessions done. Since sunscreen is available in powders, concealers, lotions, sprays, and even serums, it's easy to find a sun care regimen that works best for your skin. With proper care, your microneedling treatments can give you excellent results.
