Microneedling is the new hit with women across the globe. Dr Pen A6 (battery operated) is one of the leading brands used for micro needling and is available at Filler World.
Microneedling is tiny micro needles going into your face. It’s effective because it creates channels and opens pore in your skin to allow active ingredients such as serums and acids to get in and do their job quickly.
It can help with acne and acne scars, and many other indications you may want to treat. Microneedling works on the upper dermis to boost collagen.
Skin texture and firmness on the face, neck and chest is improved significantly and many women will have one microneedling session per month.
Numbing the skin beforehand is highly recommended to make the procedure as comfortable and pain-free as possible, but your medical professional who administers it for you should advise the complete procedure to you in more detail.
Staying at the superficial levels of the skin will mean less bruising. So opting to not go as deep will be beneficial for you if you want to get back to your normal routine as quickly as possible.
Vitamin C and EGF serum can be applied before hand to the skin. Keeping it moist allows the pen to glide easily. Lubrication is key to ensure the pen doesn’t scratch you.
The battery or plug powered (as in the case of A1) pen has a little button which you use to turn it on. For the chest area, the setting of 2.0 mm depth is sufficient. Moving up towards the neck, 1.0-1.25 mm depth would be recommended. Soft strokes enable the pen to work its action and you will see redness which shows the pen is working.
You can apply more vitamin C and EGF serum following the above procedure.
The face area should be cleaned before moving onto that area. Decreasing the depth of the pen to a lower setting such as 0.5mm is recommended for delicate areas around the eyes. 1.0mm is a good setting for lips, but where facial skin is thicker such as the cheeks, 1.5mm is sufficient.
Microneedling can cause blood to be secreted which is normal. Allowing the blood to sit on the face afterwards, instead of wiping it off is extremely beneficial as it’s properties fight infections (anti-bacterial platelet rich plasma) and protect the skin and open pores.
Your face may feel a burning sensation, but applying some aloe vera can soothe it. Your skin complexion will be more rosy, but the skin will restore and become even more radiant over the week. You can use tinted moisturiser, concealer and SPF to cover your skin if you need to face the world with your normal routine!
Keep skin moisturised as you will feel some dryness or flakiness which is normal over the healing process.
