Microneedling? Sounds a bit dangerous to do it at home- Or, can you do it?
Let me make it easy for you, derma roller is the skincare tool, the process is microneedling. Easy, but not so fast! Read up;
Based on the reading of my all-time favourite skincare guide, The Skincare Bible by Dr. Anjali Mahto, microneedling is quite a complex thing for you to be exposed to or learn alone, without the help of a specialist or a dermatologist.
If you have severe acne scars, wrinkles, and large pores, microneedling might just be the solution you need.
The Process
Microneedling is a process of inducing collagen in your skin. The derma roller is used to prick the skin, as the tool itself has small and sharp needles on it.
Treatment is aimed at producing new collagen and skin tissue for a smoother, firmer, more toned skin.
I’m not saying that it’s an easy process but, some specific techniques and steps that should be done to get the best results. And of course, to prevent any injuries.
Safety Concerns
Do expect minor redness and irritation after microneedling. After all, it is a thing you do with needles and stuff. Also, according to Healthline, people who are under certain acne medication and pregnant should not try microneedling.
Should You Try This At Home?
It depends. You can try but you need to do a lot of reading, watch tutorials, seek guidance from professionals on the process and so much more. When you’re confident enough, you’re good to go.
