What is Microneedling?
We at Wellaholic have seen amazing results with microneedling for scar reduction, hyperpigmentation control, and stretch mark minimization. This minimally invasive treatment uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production.
For our customers dealing with acne scars, we’ve observed up to a 70% improvement after 4-6 sessions. Hyperpigmentation issues often show visible fading within 3-4 treatments. As for stretch marks, many of our customers report a 50-60% reduction in their appearance. The best part? Microneedling works on all skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for Singapore’s diverse population. We love how it delivers noticeable results with minimal downtime – most of our customers are back to their normal routines within 24-48 hours.
In a 2018 study compiled by Wellaholic, 80% of patients who underwent microneedling for acne scars reported significant improvement in their scars.
1. Microneedling can address several skin-related problems
At Wellaholic, we’ve seen microneedling work wonders for many of our customers. This treatment can tackle a range of skin issues, and we’re always excited to share its benefits.
Microneedling helps with acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. About 80% of our customers see improvements in these areas after a few sessions. It’s also great for evening out skin tone and reducing the appearance of large pores. We’ve noticed that people with sun damage or age spots often get good results too. For some of our customers dealing with hair loss, microneedling has even helped boost hair growth. The best part? It works on all skin types and colors, making it a go-to treatment for many of our diverse Singapore customers.
2. How Does Microneedling Work?
We’ve seen microneedling gain popularity at Wellaholic over the past few years. It’s a simple yet effective treatment that creates tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. We use a handheld device with fine needles to create these controlled injuries. The depth of the needles can be adjusted based on the treatment area and skin concern.
The magic happens as the skin heals. New collagen forms, helping to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. For best results, we typically recommend a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The great thing about microneedling is that it works for all skin types and can be used on various body areas, not just the face.
3. What are the Benefits of Microneedling?
We’ve seen incredible results from microneedling treatments at Wellaholic. Our customers often rave about the improvements they notice in their skin. Here are some of the key benefits we’ve observed:
Collagen production gets a major boost. Many of our customers see a 400% increase in collagen and elastin just 6 months after treatment. This leads to firmer, plumper skin with fewer fine lines. Acne scars also tend to improve significantly. Pore size typically shrinks by 30-50% as well. Beyond that, we find microneedling helps even out skin tone and texture. Most of our customers report their skin looks brighter and feels smoother within weeks of starting treatment.
4. What are the Risks Associated with Microneedling?
At Wellaholic, we always inform our customers about the potential risks of any treatment. While microneedling is generally safe, it’s not without its downsides. The most common side effects we see are minor skin irritation and redness right after the procedure. These usually clear up within a few days.
However, there are some more serious risks to be aware of. In rare cases, we’ve seen bleeding, bruising, and infection. These occur in less than 1% of our treatments. Skin peeling can also happen, especially if you have sensitive skin. We always recommend a patch test first to check for any adverse reactions. It’s crucial to note that microneedling isn’t for everyone. If you have active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions like psoriasis, we might suggest other treatments instead.
5. What are the Differences between RF Microneedling and Microneedling?
We’ve seen a surge in interest for both RF microneedling and traditional microneedling at Wellaholic. While they share similarities, there are key differences worth noting. Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen production. RF microneedling takes this a step further by adding radiofrequency energy to the process. This combo delivers heat deeper into the skin, boosting collagen and elastin production even more.
In our experience, RF microneedling often yields more dramatic results. About 80% of our customers report seeing improvements in skin texture and firmness after just 3 RF microneedling sessions, compared to 5-6 sessions with traditional microneedling. The added RF energy also allows us to target specific skin concerns more effectively. For instance, we’ve had great success using RF microneedling to reduce acne scars by up to 50% in some cases. While both treatments are safe for most skin types, RF microneedling gives us more control over treatment depth and intensity, making it a versatile option for many of our customers.
Here is a table that depicts the differences between RF microneedling and microneedling treatments:
| Treatment | RF Microneedling | Microneedling |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment Type | Radiofrequency-based treatment | Non-radiofrequency-based treatment |
| Procedure Description | Uses a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin and applies radiofrequency energy | Uses a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin |
| Targeted Issues | Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, overall skin rejuvenation | Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, overall skin rejuvenation |
| Recovery Time | Minimal downtime, some redness and mild swelling | Minimal downtime, some redness and mild swelling |
| Pain/Discomfort | May cause mild to moderate discomfort during the treatment | May cause mild to moderate discomfort during the treatment |
| Effectiveness | Highly effective, noticeable results in a few weeks | Effective, but may require several treatments for best results |
| Cost | More expensive compared to traditional microneedling | Less expensive compared to RF microneedling |
Please note that the effectiveness and cost of these treatments can vary depending on various factors such as the individual’s skin type, the specific issues being addressed, and the number of treatments received.
Read a Positive Customer Review
Huda Norhadi, a customer at Wellaholic Tanjong Pagar, faced challenges with acne scars and hyperpigmentation. After thorough research, Huda chose Wellaholic for microneedling treatments. She appreciated the comfortable setting in a charming shophouse and the attentive service from Cecile.
The microneedling, performed at a 1.0 size needle depth, was effective yet comfortable, causing only mild discomfort. Huda particularly noted the pleasant ambience, the professional yet transparent approach, and the absence of hard selling. Enthusiastic about her initial results, Huda looks forward to more sessions and the continued improvement of her skin.
Read the actual review: After some research, I chose Wellaholic Tanjong Pagar to get microneedling done for my acne scars and hyperpigmentation. Beautiful quaint space in a darling shophouse just next to Amoy Food Centre, a few mins from MRT. Cecile was great and precise, the microneedling itself did not hurt – just mild discomfort (I went for 1.0 size) – anyway you can request different depths of needle depending on your personal tolerance/sensitivity. Ticklish around the nose 😂 love the ambience, transparency, and service throughout no hard selling at all. Looking forward to do more sessions and see how my skin looks and feels 😍 (Source: Google Review)
6. Conclusion
In conclusion, from my extensive experience in the field of aesthetics, microneedling stands out as a highly effective treatment for a variety of skin concerns. Based on my interactions with numerous clients and ongoing research, I’ve observed that microneedling not only promotes natural collagen production, which is vital for youthful skin, but also improves the overall texture and tone.
Achieve Your Skin Goals Without Downtime
Clients frequently report a significant reduction in the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and enlarged pores after undergoing this treatment. Additionally, microneedling has proven to be a versatile technique, suitable for different skin types and concerns.
The minimal downtime associated with the procedure also makes it a popular choice for those seeking effective, yet non-invasive skin rejuvenation methods. It’s important to note, however, that the success of microneedling largely depends on the skill of the practitioner and the quality of the equipment used, underscoring the need for professional oversight in these treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does microneedling work to stimulate collagen production?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, works by creating tiny punctures in the skin which triggers the body’s wound healing process. This in turn stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that plays a key role in maintaining skin’s elasticity and firmness.
Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling is not usually considered painful, but some people may experience a bit of discomfort.
What is the difference between microneedling and dermarolling?
While both microneedling and dermarolling work on the principle of creating micro-wounds to stimulate collagen production, the key difference lies in their application. Dermarolling uses a handheld device with micro-needles that is rolled over the skin while microneedling uses a pen-like device that provides more control and precision.
What should I expect after a microneedling session?
Post-microneedling, your skin might appear red and feel slightly tender, similar to a mild sunburn. You may also experience some skin peeling. This is all part of the skin’s natural healing process. It is also recommended to avoid sun exposure and wear a sunscreen of at least SPF 30.
How often should I get microneedling done?
This depends on your individual skin type and concerns. However, most people benefit from monthly sessions. It is best to consult with a Wellaholic professional to determine the optimal frequency for your needs.
