What does microneedling Dallas do for your skin?

Microneedling Dallas treatment (this can be performed by a dermatologist or aesthetician in-office or done at home) involves rolling a roller with tiny needles along your skin. The microneedling Dallas pen's needles produce micro punctures in the skin that enhance the absorption capacity of skincare products and cause an improvement in collagen production, which can minimize fine lines and scarring from causes like acne over time, among other benefits.

Is microneedling Dallas effective?

When microneedling Dallas is done by a professional or expert dermatologist, "microneedling can be effective at boosting the penetration of topical skincare and plumping skin, and there is data to show its efficacy in reducing wrinkles and fine lines.

Microneedling also is a great option to minimize the stretch marks, experts say: "In my opinion, microneedling is the single best treatment for stretch mark reduction," says Manish Shah, M.D., a plastic surgeon based in Colorado. "Microneedling improves the color and appearance of stretch marks by creating tiny pinhole injuries in the stretch mark itself. The skin responds by filling in the broken dermal layer and making new collagen. As the dermal layer expands, the color fades because the skin thickens and the tiny blood vessels that give early stretch marks their pink or purple color retreat."

Does microneedling hurt?

Done in the hands of a professional dermatologist, there should be minimal to zero pain, side effects, or downtime from microneedling treatments, though in some cases they may experience minor skin irritation immediately after. If done improperly at home, microneedling has the potential to cause scratching or burning pain and irritation, redness and inflammation, marks, and even bleeding and scarring on the skin. Your dermatologist can advise you to take the proper after-care procedure for your skin to minimize irritation and facilitate the best results.

In between, your dermatologist can advise you on whether you can continue your regular skincare regimen, including other types of exfoliating and skin resurfacing products while receiving microneedling treatments.

As per the skin issue, the severity of it, your age and skin condition, and whether the treatment is done by a professional, the results range from subtle improvement (i.e. softening the look of lines and marks) to a dramatic change (erasing of wrinkles and acne scars), as seen here.

Is microneedling at home safe?

Recently, the FDA issued an alert to manufacturers about the potential regulation of microneeding pens as medical treatment devices. It may not be worth the risk to DIY: In a GH Beauty Lab study, 25 women used a popular at-home derma roller system. After four weeks, there was no difference in the appearance of the skin on the side where the derma roller was used, according to digital imaging with the Visia Complexion Analyzer device, or in the improvement of firmness, per measurements with the Lab’s Cutometer machine. Testers also complained that the tool hurt during use felt sharp, and scraped their skin. One developed a rash from use and two did not complete the study due to skin irritation.
