Microneedling is a non-ablative skin refreshment inducing new collagen rich tissue that in turn tightens and firmst skin.
Microneedling is a simple, minimally-invasive procedure used to improve the appearance of skin. It works by using tiny needles to create controlled micropunctures in the skin which stimulate collagen production and promote new cell growth. The micropunctures also allow topical treatments, such as serums, to penetrate more deeply into the skin for improved efficacy.
The benefits of microneedling include improved skin tone and texture, reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and stretch marks. It can also be used to help with hair loss or alopecia. The procedure is typically performed on areas of the face and body such as the cheeks, forehead, décolletage, and scalp. Depending on your individual needs microneedling can also be used to target other areas of concern.
Microneedling is a safe and effective procedure with minimal risk for adverse reactions or side effects. The most common side effect is temporary redness, which typically subsides within a few days of the procedure. Patients may experience some mild discomfort during microneedling due to the needles being used, but this is usually well-tolerated.
Microneedling sessions are typically recommended in a series of four or six treatments spaced out over a period of three to four weeks. The results, however, will vary from patient to patient depending on skin type, lifestyle habits and other factors. To ensure the best possible outcome microneedling should be combined with a good skincare regimen that includes sunscreen, exfoliation, moisturizing and antioxidants.
The microneedling procedure requires little downtime and patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. It is important to note that microneedling should not be done on skin that is sunburned, irritated or otherwise compromised. Additionally, microneedling may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun so it is important to wear sunscreen and limit sun exposure both before and after microneedling.
Overall microneedling is an effective and safe treatment for improving the overall appearance of your skin. The results are long lasting and you can expect to see improvements in the tone, texture, and youthfulness of your skin with regular microneedling treatments. With a good skincare regimen that includes sunscreen, microneedling can help you achieve a more youthful and glowing complexion.

Microneedling uses tiny needles that exist on a roller, often referred to as a Derma roller. These needles puncture the skin and stimulate collagen production.
Microneedling is an in-office treatment that does not require general anesthesia. First, the skin is cleansed and treated with a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. The procedure takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the area treated. Some pressure sensations might be felt however these will not be painful.
Recovery after this treatment depends on the length and density of the needle length used. The skin will be pink or red in appearance for 24-48 hours, similar to a sunburn with minor bleeding and occasional, mild bruising. The skin may also feel warm, tight and itchy for a short time.
It can take between 6-8 weeks before visible signs of skin regeneration are seen and the process will continue to evolve providing a gradual improvement. Although a single treatment can provide a noticeable result, a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart, is recommended to achieve optimal results.
