Microneedling is a good choice for many people who want to make their skin look smoother and healthier. This treatment works well for smoothing wrinkles, fading acne scars, and making skin look younger. But if you have problems like active acne or rosacea, it’s a good idea to talk to a doctor first.

Initial results from Microneedling can typically be seen within a few weeks as the skin begins its natural healing process. However, more noticeable improvements often occur after a series of treatments, usually spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.

The results of Microneedling can last several months, depending on the individual’s skin type, age, and aftercare. Maintaining a proper skincare routine and following professional recommendations can extend the longevity of the results.

Microneedling has minimal downtime, with most individuals experiencing mild redness and sensitivity similar to a sunburn for a day or two. While side effects are rare, you might experience temporary swelling or peeling. Your skin should return to normal within a few days.

Before Microneedling, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and any aggressive skin treatments such as chemical peels or laser therapy. After the treatment, keep the skin hydrated, avoid direct sunlight, and follow any post-care instructions provided by your aesthetician to ensure optimal results.

During the Microneedling session, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. The SkinPen is then used to create controlled micro-injuries in the treatment area. The treatment time is between 30 and 60 minutes, and it depends on how big the area is. You may experience some redness and mild irritation afterward, but this typically subsides within a day or two.
