It comes from the USA and has been going through a real hype for some time now: microneedling. But what exactly is microneedling and what is behind the trend that so many celebrities are raving about? If you take the name apart and analyze it more closely, you can guess that small needles are somehow involved. You can find out exactly what this treatment is, what microneedling is good for and what results you can expect here at Beauty2Go!
The most important facts in brief
- Microneedling involves inserting many fine needles into the skin to rejuvenate the skin in a natural way.
- The treatment can also be used to treat scars such as acne scars.
- What makes microneedling so special is that it produces beautiful and long-lasting results in a natural way.
Microneedling - what exactly is it?
If you've ever wondered what microneedling is, then you've come to the right place, because we've got the answers. Microneedling is a treatment in which a derma pen is used to insert many tiny needles into the skin and prick the epidermis (the top layer of skin).
This irritates the epidermis to such an extent that the skin sends a signal to the body that it has been injured. So far, so good, but what happens next? To "heal" the injury, the cells produce more collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The collagen ensures that the connective tissue is strengthened, the elastin enables greater elasticity and the increased hyaluronic acid balance leads to better moisture retention in the skin.
So what does the face look like after microneedling? Similar to Longevity treatments, you can look forward to firmer, tighter and younger-looking skin after the treatment.
Who is microneedling not suitable for? Or is it suitable for everyone?
What if I can't tolerate microneedling? Many people are certainly asking themselves this question. However, we can reassure you. Similar to Hyaluron treatments or a Eyebrow liftThere are hardly any risks if it is carried out professionally. Microneedling is therefore suitable for practically everyone.
A treatment can both keep young skin fresh and eliminate cases of problem skin. This means that at the first signs of wrinkles - such as Crow's feet Microneedling ensures long-lasting results in the treatment of facial skin problems such as wrinkles, sallow facial skin, sagging connective tissue and other undesirable side effects such as pigmentation spots, stretch marks and stretch marks.
However, this is not all that is possible with microneedling. In certain cases, scars or acne scars can also be treated. However, we generally advise against microneedling treatment for people with acute acne, sensitive skin types, inflammation or wounds. We will discuss with you in detail which alternatives are suitable for your individual case.
So what is it that makes microneedling so special? Quite simply - the ability to gently rejuvenate the skin in a natural way, without surgery or complex procedures!

What can I expect after the microneedling treatment?
To keep the risks as low as possible, we advise against carrying out microneedling yourself at home - this also applies to other treatment methods. If you have the treatment carried out by an expert, hygienic standards are maintained, which in turn reduces the risk of inflammation to practically zero.
What about your skin after microneedling? What results or after-effects should you expect? Immediately after the treatment, the skin is slightly reddened and may burn/weep very slightly - similar to a Sculptra-treatment. This is a completely natural reaction and disappears after just a few days. In addition, the skin swells slightly, which already leads to a firmer and plumper complexion. In the weeks that follow, the full effect of the treatment unfolds and the skin becomes finer. This is when the collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid begin to take effect.
What else should I bear in mind during microneedling aftercare? We always advise our patients not to touch the treated area for up to an hour after the treatment. As the skin is particularly receptive to nourishing active ingredients after microneedling, thorough skin care with moisturizer is particularly worthwhile. In the first week after the treatment, care should also be taken to ensure good protection from the sun, i.e. no visits to the solarium and a sun cream with a high sun protection factor.
And if you're wondering how long the effects of microneedling treatments last, we can tell you that a professional treatment will give you beautiful results for several months.
