Are you tired of having to explain to other people that you are not as old as they think you are? Unfortunately, premature aging is something that many people deal with, especially those who have fair skin that shows wrinkles and lines more clearly. If you have tried numerous beauty products but have not received the desired results, it is time to find another way of reversing the premature aging process. For instance, you can undergo microneedling treatment to give your skin a smoother and more youthful look. If you are concerned about the process of microneedling treatment and what to expect, this article provides an explanation.

How Is the Microneedling Process Performed? 

Microneedling is performed in a private space in a clinic that will make you feel comfortable during the process. After your skin has been prepped for the procedure, a professional will use a pen to create small punctures in the top layer of your skin. The pen contains very thin needles that create tiny punctures in your skin. The process should be completed in well under an hour depending on the overall condition of your skin and the clinic that you go to. After the pen has been used, your skin will be treated with a moisturizer or other product that contributes to the overall results.

Does Microneedling Cause Any Pain?

You might think that getting small punctures in your face with tiny needles would be a painful experience. However, you will be surprised to know that the procedure does not cause a lot of pain. You should expect to feel slight discomfort during the treatment process, but nothing that you cannot cope with. Keep in mind that numbing cream can also be applied before the procedure is performed. However, you might have to request that the numbing cream is applied, as it might not be something that is done automatically.

How Does Microneedling Help Premature Aging?

The purpose of creating small punctures in the top layer of your skin is to promote the production of collagen and elastin. It is when collagen and elastin production slows down that skin begins to prematurely age. Your skin will have a tighter and smoother appearance after undergoing microneedling treatment. Your skin will have a more youthful glow rather than the dull appearance of aging skin. Keep in mind that although you might see results after undergoing one microneedling session, you might need to undergo a few more sessions for the best results.
