What is Microneedling?
Microneedling involves pricking the skin with a tool packed with tiny needles. The purpose is to trigger a wound healing response that generates new collagen and elastin. These proteins, which are responsible for a healthy and youthful appearance, decrease with age.
Microneedling can reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It’s also known to remodel scar tissue.
The process of microneedling also boosts the absorption of topical skincare products. These products can readily penetrate the treated area due to the small channels created in the skin.
Risks of At-Home Microneedling
The idea of pressing numerous small needles against your delicate skin is intimidating. And for a good reason, because microneedling your skin at home comes with an array of potential risks.
The biggest issue is that professional-depth needles for deep penetration are now available to the public in the form of microneedling rollers (sometimes called dermarollers) and stamping devices. They can be very painful to use because your skin won’t be numb during the treatment.
These devices can puncture too far, introduce bacteria to the skin, and cause scarring. You can easily apply too much pressure. And as the needles become dull, these issues get worse.
