MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment designed to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production and promote smoother, firmer skin. Using tiny needles, this procedure creates micro-injuries to the skin, prompting the body to repair itself by producing more collagen. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance with fewer wrinkles, scars, and signs of aging.

FAQs ABOUT MICRONEEDLING
What is a Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures (micro-injuries) in the skin’s surface. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture and appearance. It’s commonly used to treat acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin discoloration.
Is Microneedling Painful?
The treatment is generally well-tolerated, but some discomfort may occur, especially in sensitive areas. Before starting, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Most clients report feeling a mild sensation, like a light prickling or scratching, but it’s typically not considered painful.
How Long Does It Take to See Results from Microneedling?
Results from microneedling typically begin to show after 4 to 6 weeks as the collagen and elastin production ramp up. For optimal results, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart may be recommended, depending on the specific skin concerns being addressed.
How Long Does the Microneedling Procedure Take?
A typical microneedling session lasts around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. This includes the time required for the application of numbing cream, the procedure itself, and any post-care instructions provided.
Are There Any Side Effects After Microneedling?
The most common side effects are redness, mild swelling, and slight tenderness in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These typically subside within 24 to 48 hours. Some people may experience temporary dryness or flaking as the skin heals. It’s essential to follow aftercare instructions to minimize risks and enhance healing.
Who is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones. It’s particularly effective for individuals with fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. However, it may not be recommended for people with certain skin conditions such as active acne, eczema, or psoriasis. Always consult with a licensed practitioner to determine if microneedling is right for your skin.
