Thinking about dermal needling or microneedling at home? Read this.
While at-home dermal needling devices can offer convenience and cost savings, there are several reasons why you should consider having dermal needling by a trained professional rather than attempting yourself:
Professional Expertise: Trained professionals have the knowledge, training, and experience to perform dermal needling safely and effectively. They understand the intricacies of skin and can adjust the treatment to your specific needs, ensuring the best results.
Proper Sanitisation: In-store treatments follow strict hygiene and sterilisation protocols to prevent infection and complications. Professionals use sterile needles and equipment, reducing the risk of infection and ensuring a safe experience.
Correct Needle Depth: The depth at which the needles penetrate your skin is crucial. Too shallow, and you won't see the desired results; too deep, and you risk scarring and other issues. Professionals can accurately set the needle depth for your skin type and concerns.
Consistency: In-store treatments such as at OFF & ON often use high-quality, advanced equipment like Dermapen 4, ensuring consistent and reliable results. DIY devices may vary in quality and performance.
Tailored Treatment Plans: Trained professionals can create personalised treatment plans that take into account your skin's condition and any previous treatments you've had, ensuring you get the best results.
Reduced Risk of Complications: Inexperienced use of at-home devices can increase the risk of adverse effects, including infection, scarring, and hyperpigmentation. Professionals are skilled at minimising these risks.
While at-home dermal needling devices may seem attractive, the risks and potential complications associated with self-treatment are significant.
For the best and safest results, it's advisable to consult with a trained skincare professional and have your dermal needling done in store. Their expertise and commitment to your safety and satisfaction make the experience a wise choice.
