Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure, that involves puncturing or pricking the skin using sterilized needles. The micro wounds caused by this procedure stimulate your body to produce more collagen and elastin which repair the punctures made giving your skin a smoother more younger appearance.
Dermatologists would recommend microneedling to patients suffering from acne, hyperpigmentation, alopecia, scarring, stretchmarks and wrinkles. The procedure is non-invasive, cheaper than laser therapy and takes around 10-20 minutes depending on the area of skin required to be microneedled.
The Doctor first applies a numbing cream to the region of skin that is to be microneedled, next a roller or a pen containing sterilized micro needles is applied on the area, finally a cream or serum is applied to ease the pain and promote healing.
Most individuals require 4-6 sessions before seeing any difference, though considered as a safe procedure, since the skin is being pricked or punctured, there are risks of allergic reaction, infection and scarring if the procedure is conducted inaccurately or if the patient works in environments rich in antigens like swimming pools, lakes and oceans.
How to help your body recover from an illness
Drink more mineral water
To restore the water balance in tissues, a person needs water. But not just any water, but enriched water. Ideally, enriched with magnesium and mineral salts.
Cook protein meals.
White blood cells, the main defenders of our immune system, are made up of proteins. The best and easiest way is to incorporate meals rich in quality protein into your menu. Quality farm meats, fish, and eggs are high in protein and essential micronutrients like iron.
Make up for vitamin gaps.
Iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, B vitamins and vitamin D are all elements that start to be dramatically lacking if you've recently been sick.
Take care of your microbiota.
Eat fermented foods. These include kefir, farm cheese, sauerkraut, pickles and tomatoes. These contain prebiotics and probiotics, which enrich the gut microflora and benefit all stages of digestion.
