After summer or with the passage of time, it is common for the skin to lose its radiance and for small spots or uneven tone to begin to appear. If you are looking to restore uniformity, improve texture and bring your face back to life, microneedling — also known as dermapen — is an excellent alternative. This procedure helps the skin to regenerate naturally and look fresher and healthier.
Microneedling involves the application of a device with very fine micro-needles that make small punctures in the skin. These micro-perforations stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that keep the skin firm and youthful. In addition, active ingredients such as vitamin C, hyaluronic acid or depigmenting serums can be applied during the treatment, which penetrate better thanks to the microchannels created by the needles. The result is firmer, more hydrated and more even skin.
One of the main benefits of microneedling is its ability to improve blemishes and dull skin tone. The microneedles stimulate cell turnover, helping the skin to eliminate the most pigmented cells and regenerate new, more uniform ones. Over the course of the sessions, blemishes fade, tone evens out and the skin regains a more uniform appearance. Thanks to the absorption of depigmenting active ingredients, its lightening effect is reinforced and it gives the face a natural glow.
But the effects of microneedling go further. By improving the skin’s structure from within, it also softens scars, reduces enlarged pores, and improves facial elasticity.
After treatment, there is slight redness that disappears in one or two days. During this time, the skin begins its renewal process, becoming smoother, firmer and more even.
After the session, it is important to take care of your skin to enhance the results. During the first few days, it is recommended to keep it well hydrated and avoid direct exposure to the sun. It is also essential to use a high SPF sunscreen and not apply make-up for the first 48 hours, to allow the skin to breathe and recover properly. By following these guidelines, regeneration will be faster and the effects will be visible sooner.
The number of sessions required will depend on skin type and treatment objectives. It is also an ideal treatment to combine with other techniques such as lasers or peels. From the very first applications, an improvement in brightness and texture can be seen, and as the treatment progresses, blemishes gradually fade.
At our clinic, we offer personalised advice to design a protocol tailored to your needs and skin characteristics. If you are looking for a treatment that helps renew your face, reduce blemishes and restore vitality, microneedling may be the perfect option for you.
