What type of response does skin needling promote?

Skin needling, also known as microneedling, promotes wound healing as its primary response. This minimally invasive procedure involves the use of fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These controlled wounds trigger the body’s natural healing processes, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. As a result, skin texture, tone, and elasticity can improve significantly. The wound healing response is desirable because it ultimately contributes to skin rejuvenation and repair.

While inflammation can occur as part of the healing process, it is a temporary phase rather than the target response of the procedure. Hyperpigmentation can be a potential side effect in some cases but is not the intended outcome of skin needling. Similarly, increased sensitivity may present during the healing process, but again, it is not the primary goal of the treatment. The main focus remains on promoting effective wound healing for improved skin quality.
