Skin Sense: A Deep Dive into Microneedling
·
Written by Dr Muhammet Avcil

Welcome to "Skin Sense," where we delve into the science behind skincare trends to empower you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about your dermatological health. In this edition, we're turning our focus to microneedling, a topic that has sparked considerable interest and debate among dermatologists and beauty enthusiasts alike.
 

Understanding Microneedling

Microneedling, also recognised as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin. This minimally invasive technique is celebrated for stimulating collagen production, enhancing skin texture, and improving the absorption of topical treatments. But as its popularity soars, so do concerns about its safety, efficacy, and potential for adverse effects.

The Promises of Microneedling

The appeal of microneedling stems from its array of promised benefits. Research supports its effectiveness in improving the look of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, promising a rejuvenated skin texture and complexion. Additionally, the micro-channels created by the procedure allow for deeper penetration of skincare products, potentially amplifying their benefits.

The Pitfalls and Precautions
Despite its potential, microneedling is not without risks. Improper technique or unsterile equipment can lead to infections, skin damage, and undesirable inflammatory responses. There are particularly concerning reports from individuals who have experienced prolonged redness, sensitivity, and even scarring, especially following at-home treatments.


Professional vs. At-Home Microneedling
The distinction between professional treatments and at-home microneedling is crucial. Professional procedures are performed in sterile conditions with medical-grade equipment, significantly reducing complication risks. In contrast, at-home devices lack the precision and sterility of professional tools, heightening the likelihood of infection and skin trauma.

Post-Microneedling Care with Luna MicroCare ROSSA
Post-treatment care is vital for healing and maximising the benefits of microneedling. This is where Luna MicroCare ROSSA's Advanced Regenerating Youth Serum and Deep Hydration Sheet Mask come into play. Designed with a blend of potent ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramide NP, and Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Luna MicroCare ROSSA offers the ideal post-microneedling care to support the skin's recovery process.


Applying the Prime Energy Serum, followed by the 3D Microfibre Hydro Mask, can help to hydrate, nourish, and protect the skin. This two-step regimen is recommended 2-3 times weekly for post-microneedling care.

Making an Informed Decision
Before embarking on a microneedling journey, it's imperative to consult with a dermatology professional. They can assess your skin's suitability for the procedure and discuss the potential risks and benefits tailored to your specific skin type and concerns.

Microneedling offers a promising avenue for those looking to enhance their skin's appearance. However, it demands a cautious approach, informed by professional advice and supported by high-quality post-treatment care like ROSSA. By prioritising safety and knowledge, we can navigate the world of microneedling and other skincare trends, ensuring our skin remains healthy and vibrant.
