There's nothing worse than watching time march right across your face. Luckily, you don't need to stand still for the parade. You can take matters into your own hands and restore your complexion's youthful appearance. One way to take years off your appearance is through the use of microneedling. Microneedling enhances collagen production so that those fine lines and flaws disappear right off your face. Not only that, but microneedling can also be used to eliminate acne scars. Here are a few questions you might have about microneedling.

Can Microneedling Be Done at Home?

You might have heard about at-home microneedling kits. While they might work to eliminate some of the fine lines, they're not going to provide you with the best results. Not only that, but they're not going to be as safe. For the maximum benefits, in the safest environment, it's better to have your microneedling done in your dermatologist's office. One benefit of choosing to have your treatment done at the doctor's office is that your dermatologist can see right where you need treatment the most, which will allow them to focus on those specific areas. Also, your dermatologist is equipped to provide microneedling around those delicate areas, including your eyes and lips. You might not know this, but your eyes and lips require special tools that aren't available in at-home kits.

Will There be Any Visible Holes?

During the microneedling treatment, microscopic holes will be placed in the surface of your skin. Those tiny holes will encourage the production of collagen, which will give your skin that fresh-all-over appearance. However, the needles that are used are very tiny, which means you won't see any of the holes once the treatment is completed. Your face will be a little red, but that will go away quickly. Once the redness disappears, you'll notice a beautiful, clear complexion. Be sure to wear moisturizer with sun protection whenever you go outside though. You don't want to undo all the benefits of your microneedling treatment.

Will There Be Any Pain During the Treatment?

You might think that there will be a lot of pain involved since the treatment requires the use of needles. However, that's not the case. Microneedling is completely painless. If you're apprehensive about the needles, you can always ask your doctor about applying a topical anesthetic to your skin before the treatment begins. The topical anesthetic will numb your skin so that you won't feel any of the treatment. Best of all, the anesthetic won't interfere with the treatment.
