Over the past few decades, microneedling has gone from a niche skincare secret to a nearly viral technique, consisting of using either a roller with tiny needles or a pen-like device to help smooth and firm the complexion. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt stimulates epidermal growth factors to boost collagen and elastin that plump and firm skin, and it increases absorption of active ingredients by 90 percent,\u201d aesthetician <\/span>Kerry Benjamin told <\/span>Marie Claire<\/em><\/span><\/a> last November, calling the practice \u201cone of the most powerful and effective ways to stop early signs of aging.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But it seems you don\u2019t necessarily need to take a trip to your facialist to enjoy swoon-worthy skin. Enter at-home micro needling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, several micro-needling kits have hit the market, allowing beauty fanatics to get perfected skin from the comfort of their homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The at-home microneedling rollers simply get rolled onto the skin,\u201d New York City-based esthetician <\/span>Jordana Mattioli explained to<\/span> InStyle<\/em><\/span><\/a> last May. \u201cThere are tiny needles that make punctures on the skin, but the at-home versions will just get your skin a little pink. They aren’t deep enough where you’ll see blood droplets.”<\/span><\/p>\n

And it seems this lighter touch can still have a major impact on the complexion. While Mattioli noted that DIY microneedling \u201cisn’t going deep enough to treat deep scars or deep wrinkles,\u201d like it does when executed by a professional, the practice can still help skin appear smoother. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey will absolutely improve the texture of skin and make those deep wrinkles or scars look a little better,\u201d she continued.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another caveat, Benjamin shared, is to avoid the process if you\u2019re struggling with active acne.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have a pimple, you can roll around it,\u201d she advised. \u201cFor cystic acne, it’s great to use to help drive actives deeper into the lesion to treat it quickly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet just like nearly everything when it comes to skincare, using the proper tools is an integral part of reaping these benefits, especially as incorrectly microneedling your skin can further exacerbate existing woes. One key step in this process, Benjamin said, is leaving the big needles to the professionals in your DIY skincare pursuits. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt-home microneedling should be done with rollers that are .2mm,” she explained, noting that these products “are considered cosmetic needling and safe and effective to use at home daily for great results.\u201d Meanwhile, she said, that \u201cneedles .5mm and longer should always be used by a licensed professional.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping these appropriately-sized needles clean is also another important element of at-home microneedling. According to <\/span>Healthline<\/span><\/a>, soaking the device in \u201c70 percent isopropyl alcohol for 10 minutes\u201d after every use should do the trick. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once you have the proper tools \u2013 we love <\/span>Glodermal\u2019s line of microneedling products<\/span><\/a> \u2014 and the means of keeping them squeaky clean, next comes technique. <\/span><\/p>\n

After cleansing the skin and applying a serum, Mattioli said to grab your tool and complete \u201cfour passes vertically, followed by two to four rolls horizontally on the same section\u201d before starting on the next area. Once you\u2019ve completed this process, top off the skin with another layer of serum, waiting a few minutes for the product to seep in before layering other moisturizers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Benjamin also advised avoiding harsh products with ingredients like retinol or Vitamin C after microneedling. \u201cVitamin C can be very active and unstable and cause a lot of irritation, especially because it is being driven deeper into the skin,” she explained.<\/span><\/p>\n
