Microneedle beauty has actually been popular for a long time both at home and abroad. As a relatively basic skin management project, it can improve most of our daily skin problems such as dryness, dullness, redness, etc. Because of its daily nature, it has developed rapidly, and various microneedle treatment methods have also been invented, such as rolling needles, flying needles, gold microneedles, etc. In an instant, it seems that everyone has forgotten that this basic medical beauty project actually has certain risks and side effects.
We all know that the outermost layer of the skin is the stratum corneum. While it protects our skin, it also prevents the absorption of daily skin care products. Therefore, microneedles were invented. The extremely fine microneedles are almost at the nanoscale. Through acupuncture, tens of thousands of microchannels in the basal layer of the skin are instantly opened, and the active ingredients of cell growth genes and multiple nutrients are easily passed through the stratum corneum and transported to different depths of the skin for rapid absorption. At the same time, it can also be combined with some other whitening and repairing ingredients to achieve an additional improvement effect. Not only that, while piercing the skin, the microneedles can also stimulate the skin’s self-healing function to produce a large number of epidermal cells, fibroblasts and promote the production of skin’s own collagen, so it can improve skin quality very well.
Since there are advantages, there are disadvantages. In fact, the safety of “microneedles” is still controversial in the industry. Microneedle treatment is always an invasive project and requires damage to the skin. Generally speaking, there are no long-term side effects under standardized operations, but the face will usually turn red after the operation, but it usually disappears completely in 2-7 days. However, the direct side effect of non-standard microneedle beauty is pain, so anesthetics are definitely needed. In formal medical beauty institutions such as Ai Beauty Clinic, an appointment system is generally adopted, which will well avoid the problems of untimely or insufficient application of anesthetics due to improper time safety in some informal medical beauty clinics in London. The entire treatment process pays great attention to the customer’s experience.
Secondly, microneedles can damage the skin, so the skin will bleed slightly due to these injuries, and symptoms such as erythema, bruises, and swelling may occur after the operation. These are directly related to the doctor’s operating skills. Wrong injection level, dosage, ingredient ratio, etc., all of which will lead to the above-mentioned side effects. If it is mild, it will take a certain amount of time to recover, and if it is severe, it will require hospital treatment to repair. If you want to avoid the risk of rotten face, you must choose the right institution and doctor.
Nowadays, there are so many “quick-trained injectors”. If the depth of microneedles is not properly controlled or the disinfection is not in place, it will cause skin redness, swelling, blistering, inflammation, infection, and severe cases will leave scars. Most of the microneedle disfigurement cases reported in the news are caused by poor disinfection or improper operation. As a consumer, only by choosing a regular institution can you make an appointment with a qualified and experienced doctor to perform the operation and avoid these risks.
Furthermore, in London, UK, microneedle treatment generally uses a variety of ingredients in a mixed ratio, which involves conflicts between various ingredients and side effects caused by authenticity. If the injected ingredients are impure, complex, or conflicting, it is very easy to cause subcutaneous capillary damage, increased red blood streaks, local stiffness, agglomeration and other side effects. Therefore, the use of drug ingredients requires great caution when injecting microneedles.
As the saying goes: 70% work, 30% maintenance. Post-operative repair of microneedles is also very important, otherwise there will be adverse reactions. After microneedle treatment, the skin starts the self-healing mechanism, and the production of new collagen requires a lot of nutrients and water. The metabolism will also be accelerated accordingly, and the skin will become dehydrated, so you must replenish water in large quantities after treatment; at the same time, if sun protection is not done well, it may also cause pigmentation and form new spots or erythema, so you must also pay attention to sun protection.
In short, if you want to avoid the risk of these side effects to the greatest extent, it is recommended to choose a professional and formal medical beauty institution. In the UK, it is definitely right to look for medical beauty institutions such as Ai Beauty Clinic that have passed the CQC certification of the UK National Medical Regulatory Agency. They have injection physicians authorized by major drug dealers, rich clinical experience with Asian customers, and have established their own professional injection treatment standards. There are very few problems such as injection level errors and dosage control errors; they purchase drugs through professional channels and are regulated by the British government, and there will be no side effects such as rejection, allergies, and rotten faces; the whole process is aseptic, there is a professional Visia skin test before the operation, and they are familiar with the skin quality and skin problems of each customer. The treatment plan is scientific and well-founded. There is a 20-40 minute repair process after the operation. Professional QDEL medical cold compresses and LED professional light therapy masks are used for double sedation repair, which soothes postoperative redness and swelling, reduces the risk of infection, shortens the recovery period, and ensures the effect while avoiding the possibility of side effects such as wound infection and skin allergies. On this basis, Ai Beauty has purchased a medical insurance of 5 million pounds for each customer, providing double insurance for each customer to fully protect the interests of customers and reduce the risk of treatment. In this way, it can be said that the microneedle treatment is foolproof.
Many friends may ask, can microneedling be done at home? The answer is absolutely not recommended.
Microneedling is a medical beauty project, but it is also an absolute medical act. The most important thing is the operation technique and sterile environment, which we do not have at home. Microneedling projects require very professional judgment. For example, what type of microneedles should be used? How deep is the microneedle insertion? How large is the area of microneedle trauma? Should anesthetics be used? What products should be used after using microneedles? Subsequent skin care? How many microneedles are needed? All of these require very professional judgment. You can’t find out clearly by looking up information on the Internet and watching a few videos; nor can some beauticians in beauty salons who only have basic skin knowledge judge; even some new doctors may not be able to do it well. Operating microneedles by yourself is very likely to cause infection, which can cause fever, inflammation, pigmentation, and sepsis in severe cases, which endangers safety.
Therefore, never ignore the side effects of microneedles. Even for basic projects, you must choose a regular medical beauty institution to perform the procedure, otherwise you will be risking your own safety.
