Microneedling is a popular cosmetic procedure where tiny, sterilized needles are used to prick your skin up to 2mm deep, leaving small wounds behind. This triggers your body's natural healing response, prompting the production of skin-repairing collagen and elastin, which are essential for firmness and elasticity. Microneedling is frequently used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, enlarged pores, and other skin imperfections.
Some patients say the process feels like having sandpaper rubbed across the treatment area. Your aesthetician will apply a topical numbing cream before treatment begins to improve your comfort level.
In most cases, the procedure takes about 30 minutes.
Most patients completely heal within 24 hours. Slight swelling and/or redness/pinkness, much like a mild sunburn, might occur for 2-4 days in some cases. Individual results may vary.
Depending on the individual patient and the severity of the situation, results will vary. Generally, patients will notice healthier-looking skin right away. As your own skin’s natural repair process progresses, damage that has occurred to your skin over time will begin to minimize.
Results and progress will be ongoing, final results occurring in 3-6 months following final session.
Most patients will receive 1-6 treatments spaced out about 4 weeks apart.
