Microneedling

About Microneedling
What It Is
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that creates micro-wounds in the skin to stimulate collagen production. This multipurpose treatment leverages the body’s natural healing process to address various skin conditions, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture. To achieve optimal results, a series of multiple treatments is typically recommended.
How It Works
Microneedling utilizes a handheld device equipped with extremely sharp, sterile needles to puncture the skin. These micro-wounds trigger the skin’s healing process, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins for skin health and vitality. The treatment effectively rejuvenates the skin, improving its overall texture and appearance.
What To Expect
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Here’s what you can expect:
Preparation: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a numbing cream will be applied to ensure comfort during the treatment.
Treatment: During the procedure, you may feel some warmth and a scratching/pulling sensation as the device moves over your skin. The numbing cream helps keep pain to a minimum.
Post-Treatment: Immediately after treatment, your skin will likely be red and swollen, which can last up to a few days. You can return to your normal routine immediately, but it’s important to stay out of the sun until your skin heals.

Discontinue Active Skincare Products: Stop using retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and Vitamin C serums for 3 to 5 days before your session.
Arrive with a Clean Face: Do not wear makeup to your appointment. Also, avoid applying lotions, oils, or serums on the day of your treatment.
Avoid Blood-Thinning Substances: You may need to stop using NSAID, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and other blood-thinning medications or supplements for several days prior. Always consult your healthcare provider before adjusting any medications.
Postpone if You Have Active Acne or Breakouts: Microneedling is usually not recommended if you have active acne, open wounds, or lesions. We will evaluate your skin condition to determine if treatment is appropriate.
-
Redness, sensitivity, and slight swelling are common and may last 24 to 72 hours. Some clients experience mild flaking or tiny pinpoint scabs as the skin heals—this is a normal part of the process.
Wait at least 24 to 48 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin time to recover and reduce the chance of irritation.
Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and apply a hydrating serum like hyaluronic acid. Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and active ingredients for at least 5 to 7 days. Keeping your skin calm and moisturized is key.
Avoid direct sun exposure for a minimum of 72 hours after your session. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily during the healing phase and beyond.
Results may begin to appear within 1 to 2 weeks, with continued improvement over 4 to 6 weeks as your body’s natural collagen production is stimulated. Results vary from person to person.
Avoid heavy workouts, hot tubs, saunas, and swimming pools, for at least 48 hours, as these environments can irritate your skin and slow down the healing process.
