There are many ways to improve the appearance of your skin. The most commonly treated skin ailments are lines and wrinkles, crow's feet, laugh lines, age spots and scarring. Cosmetic surgery, such as facelifts are one way to combat these problems. Shorter term solutions such as chemical face peels and other treatments can also help rejuvenate your face and skin. However, a lesser known procedure, known as skin needling, is gaining more recognition. Doctors, dermatologists and skin care clinics have begun using a series of needles to increase the stimulation of the collagen production in the skin. This improves overall appearance, reduces lines and can help eliminate scarring. Most often used on the facial area, it can also be applied to other areas such as hands and chest; skin needling has shown impressive results without actual surgery. The process involves rolling a series of small needles over the skins surface. This application can be rather painful, so a general anesthetic is used to numb the skin before the needles are applied. The length of time it takes depends on the size of the skin surface being treated. Once the skin has been needled, the doctor will apply a healing lotion and often cover the area with bandages. The bandages can be removed about 24 hours after the procedure. Skin needling has relatively low side effects. The most prevalent being redness of the skin for up to a week after the procedure. The results of the needling are often seen quite quickly after only one procedure, but heavier scars or conditions will need additional treatments. Your doctor will advise you of the wait time between procedures, as usually your skin will need a few weeks to heal from the needle punctures properly. Skin needling can be an effective way to reduce the signs of aging, and is becoming a popular solution for the reduction of scars. It's much less invasive than traditional surgery, making it a viable alternative for mending your skin problems. Discover more gorgeous beauty tips and advice at our beauty website.
