Mikronålsättning

Mikronålsättning, often referred to as microneedling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin. These controlled injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. This regeneration process can improve skin texture, tone, and the appearance of various concerns.

The procedure is typically performed by a trained professional using a microneedling pen or roller. The depth and number of needles vary depending on the treatment area and the desired outcome. Before the treatment, a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. After the procedure, the skin may appear red and slightly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a day or two.

Mikronålsättning is commonly used to address a range of skin issues. These include fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and stretch marks. The increased collagen production helps to plump the skin, reduce the visibility of scars, and create a more even complexion. Multiple treatment sessions are often recommended to achieve optimal results.

While generally considered safe, potential risks include infection, bruising, and temporary changes in skin pigmentation. It is crucial to undergo mikronålsättning with a qualified practitioner and follow pre- and post-treatment care instructions carefully to minimize these risks and maximize the benefits of the procedure. The treatment is not suitable for individuals with active acne, rosacea, or certain skin infections.
