Is It Really OK to Do Microneedling at Home? We Asked a DermatologistIs the treatment best left to professional hands? |
PHOTO 0/7
Here's how it works: The tiny "microneedles" cause equally tiny injuries to your skin. Your skin, of course, then repairs itself; boosting collagen production on the way. It also works to boost the efficacy of the other skin care products in your routine.
It's quite popular — many celebrities love the trend: Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kim Kardashian are just a handful of mega-stars that swear by microneedling.
Here's the real question, though: Is it safe to DIY? We spoke to Dr. Loretta Ciraldo, MD FAAD, a Miami-based board certified dermatologist with over 40 years' experience (and the founder of Dr Loretta Skin Care) to get her opinion on the matter.
