Recently, the popularity of acupuncture (microneedle) has increased, especially among those who want to get more youthful skin, but without resorting to Botox, as these pricks, which involve making thousands of small holes in the skin, help stimulate collagen production, Thus helping to hide time lines.
Acupuncture is usually used to treat many things, such as: acne, hair loss, dark spots on your skin, large pores, reduced skin elasticity, scars and stretch marks.
There are many women who implement this treatment in their homes, due to the availability of some products that are easy to use, but is it safe to use it on the skin or without a specialist? And are there any risks this treatment can cause?..here are the answers.
It can be said that this treatment should be submitted to specialists in skin care and skin disorders, as they will be more aware of what your skin needs, and how to treat it accordingly, and home treatment does not give the same results as the doctor or specialist clinic.
This process usually takes from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the area, and the number of times it can be repeated to get the desired result from 4 to 6 times.
How to make a microneedle
The doctor first puts a smooth anesthetic cream on the face so that you do not feel the prick of the needle, then he moves a tool in the form of a pen or a rolling tool with small needles around the face. Usually the needles make small cuts in the skin, which causes some bleeding, and then he puts a cream on the face.
As mentioned earlier, the goal of this treatment is to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, thus filling and smoothing wrinkles, but it is not a quick solution, as it takes time to notice the difference, and recovery can take days or weeks, depending on how deep the needles are punctured your skin.
Dangers of micro-acupuncture treatment
Although this treatment is considered safe if it is applied by a specialist and with sterile tools, like other treatments it includes some risks, as you may have some sensitivity, from the creams that the doctor puts after the puncture, and the wounds may become infected if you do not protect your skin clean.
You should also stay away from places that may contain a lot of germs, such as: swimming pools, lakes, rivers, and oceans, and do not use irritating soaps and lotions.
