Does microneedling sound scary? With this easy guide, you can do it at home flawlessly.
The concept of microneedling, an in-office skincare treatment that involves puncturing the face with tiny needles, is intimidating in itself, so DIY-ing the procedure at-home probably sounds terrifying. But, when armed with the right device and know-how, microneedling at home can be a cost-effective way to a clearer, youthful complexion.
It also helps your skincare lineup work better, too. “These tiny punctures allow skin care ingredients to penetrate faster than they would on their own, therefore making changes in your skin faster,” explains Mattioli.While in-office treatments are usually done with an electric or battery-operated device that can resemble a traditional roller or pen, at-home microneedling is most commonly performed with manual dermarollers, like the Cosmetic Roll-CIT by Environ.
Mattioli says that there’s two ways that at-home treatments will improve skin conditions except for active acne or rosacea: the needles penetrate just deep enough to stimulate your skin’s own epidermal growth factors to boost collagen and will help the topical skincare products you apply after rolling to penetrate deeper to enhance their results.
To ensure you won’t break or tear the skin, Mattioli says to stick with rollers that have needles that are either .2mm, .25mm, or .3mm. “Never go over .3mm for the face,” she says. Her favorite rollers are from Environ, one of the first brands to make these devices accessible for at-home use.While you can use a roller on all skin types, Mattioli stresses that you should never use one if you active acne, extremely sensitive skin, or rosacea, and to never use one on cold sores or cuts.
