Mikronõelravi

Mikronõelravi, also known as microneedling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin. This controlled skin injury stimulates the body's natural healing processes, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin. These proteins are essential for skin's structure and elasticity.

The procedure is typically performed by a dermatologist or a trained aesthetician. A topical anesthetic is usually applied to minimize discomfort. The microneedling device, often a roller or a pen-like tool, is passed over the targeted areas of the skin. The depth and number of needles can be adjusted depending on the skin concern being treated.

Microneedling is primarily used to improve the appearance of various skin conditions. It can help reduce the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. It may also be effective in addressing hyperpigmentation, such as sun spots and melasma, and improving overall skin texture and tone. Some individuals also use it to enhance the absorption of topical skincare products.

The recovery period after microneedling is generally short. The treated skin may appear red and slightly swollen for a day or two, similar to a mild sunburn. It is crucial to follow post-treatment care instructions, which typically include avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products. Multiple treatment sessions are usually recommended to achieve optimal results, with sessions spaced several weeks apart. As with any cosmetic procedure, potential side effects can include temporary redness, minor bleeding, and infection, though these are rare when performed by a qualified professional using sterile equipment.
