Microneedling.
Microneedling creates a reaction in the skin triggering the release of collagen which helps to promote skin cell regeneration.
Microneedling can target, general skin ageing, fine lines and wrinkles, scarring, pigmentation, lack of skin firmness and texture.
Microneedling for the body is also available for tackling stretch marks and scarring.
Scarring can be caused by an injury to the skin, such as from acne.
Stretch marks are often caused by sudden growth or weight gain.
You may be more likely to get them if you:

Microneedling is the process of tiny needles moving up and down in a vertical motion to create tiny controlled punctures in this skin. This results in the stimulation of the healing process and production of collagen and elastin which replace old skin resulting in healthier, smoother skin.

Topical anaesthetic cream is generally not recommended in microneedling as a 2017 study showed that microneedling in patients was safe and effective without topical anaesthetic. Studies show that topical anaesthetic may even hinder the proliferation and synthesis of collagen (the protein that helps our skin look younger) - (University of Washington, 2017).
Initially your skin may look red and flushed as if you have mild sunburn. This will resolve quite quickly and your skin’s appearance should be back to normal in 24 hours.
For the first few hours your skin may feel tight and mildly sensitive. This will resolve within a few hours.
Results will start to show 4-6 weeks after treatment as this is the prime time for skin cells to have finished their regeneration process. If further treatments are required, it is recommended to be done at monthly intervals.

Home microneedling kits, or home rollers, are becoming more and more popular. They’re widely available and inexpensive.
Rollers used at home use shorter, duller needles than professional microneedling devices. They temporarily stimulate blood vessels to brighten the skin. But home rollers usually won’t give you the same results as microneedling done in clinic by a professional.
Like professional microneedling devices, home rollers can spread germs if they aren’t cleaned properly. Don’t use a home roller on infected skin.
Rollers and microneedling cartridges used at Ayumah Asigri Aesthetics are single-use patient devices and are disposed of immediately after treatment in a designated sharps bin.
