Microneedling
What is it?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a device containing fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, promoting collagen production and improving the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and overall skin texture.
Treatment Process
Microneedling begins with cleansing the skin and applying a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. The microneedling device is then used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process and collagen production. After the procedure, a soothing serum or moisturizer may be applied to the treated skin to aid in the healing process. The entire process is typically performed in a professional setting and tailored to the individual's specific skin concerns and goals.
Aftercare
After microneedling treatment, it's important to keep the treated area clean and avoid using harsh or irritating skincare products for a few days. It's essential to apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and protect it from environmental stressors. Avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the treated skin. Lastly, follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by the healthcare provider to support the skin's healing process and maximize the benefits of the treatment.
Before Treatment
Before your microneedling treatment with Sankofa Healthcare Inc, it's recommended to avoid using retinoids, exfoliants, and other aggressive skincare products for at least a week prior to the procedure to reduce skin sensitivity. Additionally, refrain from prolonged sun exposure and tanning beds to minimize the risk of skin irritation. Lastly, ensure that your skin is clean and free of makeup or lotions on the day of the treatment for optimal results.
It is important to follow the recommended procedures before microneedling treatment to ensure the best possible outcomes and minimize potential risks. Preparing the skin as advised, such as avoiding certain skincare products or sun exposure, can help reduce the risk of skin irritation and sensitivity during the procedure. Additionally, following the recommended guidelines can help optimize the effectiveness of the treatment and promote better results. Adhering to pre-treatment procedures also demonstrates a commitment to the overall process and the individual's skin health, contributing to a positive experience and outcome.
