Microneedling

Microneedling is unique because it involves the use of very fine needles to create thousands of microchannels in the skin. This process is distinctively beneficial as it stimulates the skin’s natural healing process and boosts the production of collagen and elastin, unlike surface-level treatments.

Microneedling works by puncturing the skin with small needles to create controlled micro-injuries. This triggers the body’s wound healing process, resulting in cell turnover and increased collagen and elastin production. These factors effectively treat various skin issues from wrinkles to scars.

While commonly performed on the face, microneedling can also be done on many other areas of the body that may need rejuvenation, such as the neck, chest, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back.

Yes, microneedling is suitable for all skin types. During the initial consultation, our specialist will assess your skin condition and tailor the treatment to suit your specific needs, ensuring optimal outcomes for any skin type.

If you opt not to undergo microneedling, your skin may continue to age naturally. Microneedling is particularly beneficial for enhancing skin texture and firmness, reducing the appearance of lines and scars, and providing rejuvenation.

Initial improvement is often visible within a few days, but more significant results develop over several weeks as the skin heals. Multiple sessions are typically required for the best outcomes.

The improvements from microneedling can be long-lasting, depending on the care and maintenance regimen followed post-procedure. Regular sessions, along with a good skincare routine including sun protection and hydration, will help maintain the results.

A typical microneedling session lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treated area’s size.

Most clients can resume normal activities almost immediately, but there may be minor redness and swelling for a couple of days.

Microneedling can cause mild discomfort during the procedure; however, a topical anesthetic is usually applied beforehand to minimize pain.

Yes, multiple sessions are often recommended for best results, typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This allows the skin ample time to heal and regenerate between sessions.

Microneedling is generally safe when performed by a trained professional using sterile equipment. It is less invasive than many other skin treatments and has a low risk of complications.

Numerous clinical studies have shown that microneedling effectively reduces scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks, and improves the overall texture and appearance of the skin.

A specialized device, either a dermaroller or a pen-like automated device, which contains multiple fine needles, is used for microneedling.

Typically, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C serums, and sometimes growth factors or peptide solutions are applied during or immediately after the procedure to enhance healing and results.

The most common side effects include slight redness, swelling, and discomfort at the treatment site, which generally subside within a few days. Infections are rare when performed in a clean, professional setting.

Complications are rare but can include temporary changes in pigmentation, especially in darker skin types. Proper post-procedure care and following all provider recommendations help minimize risks.

Avoiding sun exposure, not wearing makeup on the day of treatment, and discontinuing the use of any products that might irritate the skin are recommended safety measures before undergoing microneedling.

Microneedling is not recommended for those with active skin infections, chronic skin disorders, severe solar keratosis, skin cancers, or those on anticoagulant therapy.

• Keep the skin clean and moisturized.
• Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen.
• Refrain from applying makeup or participating in strenuous activities for at least 24 hours post-procedure to allow the skin to heal.
