Which needles are best for effective microneedling?
When it comes to microneedling, a popular skincare treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, thereby stimulating the skin's natural healing process and collagen production, the number of needles on the device plays an important role.
Microneedling devices can have different numbers of needles, typically from a single needle up to 36 needles or more. Here are some of the key differences between using a 12-needle device versus one with 36 needles:
1. Treatment area
12 needles: The device with fewer needles is often more targeted and may be easier to use for smaller, more specific areas or where more precision is required, such as around the eyes or in hard-to-reach places.
36 needles: A device with more needles covers a larger area faster and is effective for treating larger skin areas, such as cheeks, forehead and neck.
2. Efficiency
12 needles: May be less effective for larger areas but offers precision for treating specific problem areas.
36 needles: Provides a more comprehensive treatment over large areas, which can lead to a more uniform stimulation of collagen production across the entire treatment area.
3. Areas of application
12 needles: Better for fine lines, smaller scars and more detailed treatments.
36 needles: Better for larger scars, deeper wrinkles and a more aggressive treatment over larger areas.
4. Comfort and recovery
12 needles: Can be a little less aggressive, potentially leading to a shorter recovery period depending on the intensity of the treatment.
36 needles: May cause more intense sensations during treatment and potentially longer recovery time, but this also depends on the settings of the treatment, such as the depth of needle penetration.
5. Adaptability
12 and 36 needles: Both types of devices offer customizable settings, but their use may vary depending on the condition of the skin and the desired result. The choice between 12 and 36 needles should be based on the needs of the skin, the size of the treatment area, and the specific goals of the treatment.
When considering microneedling effects, it is important to use the most appropriate treatment based on your skin type, skin condition, and your aesthetic goals.
If the skin becomes more red using a 12-needle microneedling device compared to a 36-needle device, and there is no bleeding with the 36-needle device, this could be due to several factors that affect the skin's response to the treatment. Here are some possible explanations:
1. Treatment depth and intensity
Needle depth : The depth of needle penetration can vary between treatments. A 12-needle device may be set to penetrate deeper to treat specific concerns, which can cause more redness and potentially bleeding. A 36-needle device can be used at a shallower depth, which reduces the risk of bleeding and redness.
Pressure : The use of different pressures during treatment can also affect the skin's reaction. More pressure with 12 needles can lead to more intense skin reactions.
2. Treatment area size and technique
Technique : The technique and speed at which the device is used can also affect the skin's reaction. Faster, more superficial passes with 36 needles may result in less immediate redness compared to slower, deeper treatments with 12 needles.
Surface : Larger treatment areas with 36 needles can distribute the reaction over a larger area, causing each individual area of ââthe skin to experience less trauma.
3. Individual skin response
Skin type and condition: Different skin types and skin conditions react differently to microneedling. Some skin types may be more prone to redness or bleeding than others.
4. Frequency of use and experience
Experience : A more experienced practitioner can tailor the treatment more effectively to minimize skin reactions, while a less experienced user may not have fine-tuned the technique as well.

It is important to note that both redness and bleeding are common and expected reactions after microneedling, depending on the intensity of the treatment. These reactions are part of the natural healing process and stimulate skin renewal and collagen production.
