Microneedling represents a significant advancement in the field of cosmetology. This method is used for skin rejuvenation and correction of aesthetic imperfections on the face. Although its development began more than 50 years ago, the real blossoming of popularity came in recent years. During this time, the procedure has established itself as an alternative to Botox injections and plastic surgery.
How does the device work, what problems it solves and are there any risks of such care?
Principles of microneedling
The principle of the device is based on the creation of microscopic channels in the skin with the help of special needles. The procedure stimulates natural regeneration processes, promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which in turn leads to improved skin texture and elasticity. Each micro-damage causes the body to react and healing mechanisms are activated, which promotes cell renewal.
Microneedling has a wide range of indications. These include:
- Uneven skin topography
- Reduction of deep wrinkles
- Post-acne and hyperpigmentation
- Striae and stretch marks
However, like any procedure, it has its contraindications:
- Acute skin infections
- Autoimmune diseases
- Pregnancy and lactation
- Allergic reactions to the compositions used in the process
I recommend that you always consult a specialist before undergoing the procedure.

The preparatory stage is extremely important for the success of microneedling. This means that a few days before the procedure it is worth excluding the use of aggressive preparations such as retinoids or acids. It is also important to moisturize the skin and avoid sunburn.
