Fighting Acne and Blackheads with Microneedling: An Innovative Treatment Method

Fighting skin imperfections like acne and blackheads can be an annoying and frustrating problem, especially when conventional methods like topical creams and medications don't help. One innovative method that has gained popularity in recent years is called microneedling. In this blog post, we will explain how microneedling works and how it can help in combating skin problems.

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment where fine needles are inserted into the skin to create micro-injuries. These tiny injuries stimulate the skin's natural regenerative ability and promote the production of collagen and elastin. The result is firmer and healthier skin, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and even scars.

So, what does this have to do with acne and blackheads? Well, by creating micro-injuries, microneedling can also help treat and minimize clogged and enlarged pores and create an overall clean and radiant complexion. The needles open up the pores and allow oil and dirt to come out from the deeper layers of the skin, reducing the risk of skin imperfections like acne and blackheads. However, microneedling should not be used on skin affected by active acne, as this can spread the bacteria even further across the face. However, microneedling can be very effective on acne scars.

A microneedling treatment is relatively straightforward. First, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. Then, a special device with fine needles is moved over the affected areas of the skin. The needles are so thin and atraumatic that they cause minimal pain but enough to create micro-injuries. After the treatment, pure hyaluronic acid or an intensive mask from Dermaroller is applied to nourish the skin and support the healing process.

It is important to note that microneedling does not provide immediate results. Most people require multiple treatments to achieve the desired results. The number of treatments depends on the overall condition of the skin. If the acne scars are really deep, it is important to consult a qualified dermatologist or esthetician who has sufficient experience in microneedling.
