Facial microneedling: what it involves and what you can expect

The latest trends in facial aesthetics focus on transforming skin texture from within, but there's a new treatment that sounds a bit intimidating at first, until you try it. It's called facial microneedling , also known as collagen induction therapy.

This minimally invasive technique has earned a permanent place for those seeking improved skin texture without resorting to surgery.

Microneedling: what it is and how it works

Microneedling involves using a device with microneedles, such as a dermapen , to create controlled, superficial micro-perforations. These tiny punctures activate the skin's natural regeneration process, which responds by producing more collagen and elastin, giving the face a firmer and more vibrant appearance.

The sensation is usually mild and recovery is quick, although it's normal to notice some redness in the hours that follow. Choosing the right cosmetics after the treatment is key to soothing the skin and preventing irritation.

Who is microneedling suitable for?

Facial microneedling helps smooth acne scars. It's also useful for treating the first signs of aging, starting around age 25 or 30, and for revitalizing dull or sun-damaged skin. It's a good option for those seeking visible improvement without invasive procedures. Temporarily creating microchannels allows the skin to better absorb the cosmetics applied afterward.

Not everyone can try it. If your skin is especially sensitive, has any active irritation, open wounds, or acne breakouts with very inflamed pimples, it's best to wait until it calms down and consult a professional.

The importance of cosmetic care before and after

Although the treatment itself is performed in specialized centers, much of the result depends on the at-home routine. After each session, at Perfume's Club we recommend applying pure hyaluronic acid serums. Regenerating formulas with panthenol or ceramides and high-factor sunscreen are also beneficial.

To maintain healthy skin in the long term, cosmetics enriched with retinol, peptides or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) promote cell renewal, progressively perfecting the texture of the face.
