Microneedling- frequently asked questions

 

1. What is microneedling?

 

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates your body's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

​

2. What are the benefits of microneedling?

 

Microneedling can help improve:

•   Fine lines and wrinkles 

•   Acne scars and other types of scarring

•   Large pores

•   Uneven skin tone and texture

•   Sun damage and pigmentation

•   Skin laxity

Many clients notice a fresher, more youthful-looking complexion after a series of treatments.

​

3. How does microneedling work?

 

During the procedure, a device with tiny needles is passed over the skin to create micro-channels. These tiny "injuries" trigger collagen and elastin production as the skin heals. This natural regeneration process results in smoother and firmer skin over time.

 

4. Does microneedling hurt?

 

Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.

​

5. How long does the procedure take

 

The treatment typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

​

6. What areas can be treated?

 

Microneedling is safe for most areas of the body, including:

•   Face

•   Neck

•   Décolletage

•   Hands

•   Scalp (for hair restoration, when combined with PRP or growth serums)

 

7. What can I expect after treatment?

 

You may experience mild redness, warmth, or swelling for 24-48 hours-similar to a light sunburn. Most clients return to normal activities the next day, but it's important to avoid makeup, direct sun exposure, and harsh skincare products for a short period after treatment .

​

8. When will I see results?

 

Many people notice a healthy glow within a week, with more visible improvements over the following 4-6 weeks as new collagen develops. Results continue to build with each session.

​

9. How many sessions will I need?

 

For best results, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically recommended. Your provider will design a personalized plan based on your skin type and goals.

​

10. Is microneedling safe for all skin types?

 

Yes! Microneedling is safe and effective for most skin tones and types, including darker complexions, because it doesn't use heat or cause pigmentation issues. A consultation is required to ensure it's appropriate for your skin.

​

11. Can microneedling be combined with other treatments

 

Absolutely. Microneedling pairs beautifully with PRP ("Vampire Facial", exosomes, chemical peels, or medical-grade serums to enhance results and support deeper skin rejuvenation.

​

12. How should I care for my skin after microneedling?

​

•   Avoid makeup and sun exposure for 24-48 hours

•   Use gentle, hydrating products recommended by your provider

•   Apply sunscreen daily

•   Stay hydrated and avoid harsh exfoliants for several days

​

13. How much does microneedling cost?

 

Pricing varies based on the treatment area and whether PRP or other boosters are added. During your consultation, we'll review your goals, customize your plan, and go over pricing options.

​

14. Who is not a good candidate for microneedling?

​

Microneedling may not be recommended if you:

•   Are pregnant or breastfeeding

•   Have active acne, infections, or open wounds

•   Have recently used isotretinoin (Accutane)
