Microneedling

What is it?

Microneedling is a procedure using a medical-grade pen with multiple microneedles to create thousands of controlled microchannels in the skin, triggering a natural immune response. This process disinfects, removes debris, increases blood flow, and boosts collagen and elastin production. The result is improved skin quality with visibly reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, leaving the skin smoother and more youthful in appearance.

Who is an ideal candidate for microneedling?

Microneedling is safe for all skin tones. It benefits those looking to improve skin texture, refine pore size, and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, or post-traumatic and surgical scars. Microneedling should not be performed on areas with active breakouts or open wounds due to the risk of infection.

How many sessions do I need?

Optimal results will be seen after a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by yearly maintenance. Results are a cumulative effect and will take time to be seen.

What to expect after my treatment?

After microneedling, skin may feel tight, dry, and sensitive, similar to a sunburn, with redness for about 24 hours. Mild swelling or bruising can occur on day two, but sunscreen, moisturizer, and makeup may be resumed. By day three, redness subsides as dryness and flaking begin. Skin typically normalizes by day four, though mild texture changes can last up to a week. Avoid sun exposure for four weeks to support healing.
