MICRO-NEEDLING VS LASER TREATMENT

When it comes to the pursuit of healthy-looking and wrinkle-free skin, we are living in an advanced time where there are a plethora of options available. From going organic completely to undergoing needles to fix the wrinkles and scars, you have all the choices. You must be living under a rock if you are still not aware of micro-needling and laser treatments that rejuvenate your skin and make it look livelier. However, if you are, then let me explain to you what micro-needling and laser treatments are and how it helps your skin.

Micro-needling

Micro-needling is a proven and tested method that naturally refreshes your skin without damaging its outer layer. It is comparatively an easier procedure which will not cost you your kidney. It is simply an intrusive process to revitalize your skin’s outer surface by using tiny needles to create superficial puncture wounds in the skin. Moreover, they further have control over the micro holed skin injury and immediately heals the process to rectify any inconsistency in the skin. In response, the body grows elastic and collagen to cure the micro- needled area.

Pros and Cons of Micro-needling

The best part of skin needling is you need a day or two only for the recovery of your skin, and there are not any side effects. The process is suitable for all skin types. Moreover, it treats all kinds of skin problems such as acne scars, dark circles, pigmentation, fine lines, stretch marks, dull skin and hair loss.

The collagen and elastin do not only help in curing the beaten up area, but it also helps in smoothening the scars, removing the wrinkles and lifts the overall skin. The use of roller throughout the treatment controls the depth of the puncture wounds; moreover, you can pair it up with the radio frequency treatment of your facial for better results. The products that you apply during micro-needling are more effective as they undergo the skin and into the deeper layers.

On the other hand, the only reason why this treatment is not recommended is that it requires multiple sit-ins in the hospital. Well, nothing worth having comes easy so you will have to make numerous hospital visits to earn that glowing and fresh skin that you have always wanted.

Laser Treatment

Laser treatment is the same as micro-needling, the main difference is of the procedure, and the results, however, are somewhat similar. Laser treatment focuses on one particular area and treats it, whereas micro-needling can be used to manage the overall face. It is ideal for specific problems such as broken red veins and brown pigmentation. This treatment is focused on its target only and does not affect the surrounding area. Therefore it can be said; laser treatments are quite specific.

Conclusion

The forever and ever debate comes to an end today; you can be a better judge and choose the one that suits your skin and your budget better. However, going with micro-needling is the safer bet as it refreshes the whole surface and has no side effects at all.
