Microneedling can be done on the face to treat various skin concerns and conditions. It is popularly selected for acne, fine lines, aged looking skin, enlarged pores, stretch marks, sun spots and discoloration. It can also be used on the neck, for example, where unwanted lines are visible and predominant.
This procedure opts for cosmetic improvement and is able to effectively achieve optimal results on all skin types. There may be minor bleeding or bruising as a side effect. Recovery after microneedling does consist of visible redness and mild swelling, that should disappear within one week of treatment.
