MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a specialized device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny, controlled injuries stimulate the body's natural healing response, which includes the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that contribute to skin's elasticity and youthful appearance. Microneedling is used to improve the texture, tone, and overall quality of the skin and can be effective in addressing a variety of skin concerns.

MICRONEEDLING FAQ'S
Microneedling is best performed between October and April due to increased photosensitivity following the procedure. This treatment creates tiny microchannels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing product absorption, but it also temporarily heightens the skin's sensitivity to sunlight.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment with generally mild and temporary side effects. Common reactions include redness, swelling, and slight tenderness, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subside within 24 to 72 hours. Some clients may experience minor pinpoint bleeding or peeling as the skin begins to renew itself. In rare cases, individuals with sensitive skin may develop mild irritation or breakouts. Following post-treatment care instructions is crucial in minimizing side effects and supports the healing process.
Microneedling is often described as a tolerable, slightly prickly sensation on the skin. Most clients feel mild discomfort rather than pain, thanks to the use of topical numbing applied beforehand. The treatment may feel like tiny vibrations or light pinpricks as the device moves across the face. Sensitivity can vary depending on the area being treated, with thinner skin, like on the forehead, feeling more noticeable. Afterward, the skin may feel warm and tight, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a day or two.
Pre Care
Proper pre-care is essential for a safe and effective microneedling treatment. Here are key steps to follow:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds for at least 7 days before your appointment to reduce the risk of irritation and sensitivity.
Discontinue Certain Skincare Products: Stop using retinol, acids (like glycolic or salicylic acid), and other exfoliating products 5 days before the treatment.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and in optimal condition for healing.
Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications: If possible, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications and supplements (like fish oil) 3-5 days prior to reduce the risk of bruising.
Clean Skin: Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face.
These steps will help prepare your skin and ensure a smoother, more effective microneedling session.
Post care
Proper post-care after microneedling is crucial for optimal results and minimizing side effects. Here are key guidelines:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin by staying out of direct sunlight for at least 7 days post-treatment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50 or higher) daily.
Skip Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for 48 hours to prevent irritation or infection.
Hydrate and Soothe: Use gentle, hydrating, and soothing products like hyaluronic acid serums or calming creams to support skin healing. Avoid products with active ingredients like retinol, acids, or vitamin C for 7 days.
Avoid Sweating and Heat: Refrain from intense exercise, saunas, or hot showers for 24-48 hours to prevent irritation.
Do Not Touch or Pick: Avoid touching your face unnecessarily or picking at peeling skin to reduce the risk of infection or scarring.
Be Gentle: Use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water to cleanse your face. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Following these steps will help your skin heal effectively and maximize the benefits of microneedling.
A microneedling treatment typically takes around 2h.
20 minutes for the cleanse & peel, 30 minutes for numbing, 20-30 minutes for microneedling (depends on area), 15 minute calming mask, 10 minutes for finishing products & post care
Microneedling results can last several months to a year, depending on individual skin conditions, age, and lifestyle factors. Typically, noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness appear within 4-6 weeks after the treatment as collagen production increases. To maintain results, many clients opt for a series of treatments (package of 4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart) followed by maintenance sessions every 4-6 months. Consistent skincare, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the benefits of microneedling.
Microneedling treatments can typically be done every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your skin's healing process and your specific goals. This interval allows enough time for the skin to fully recover and for collagen production to occur. For best results, many clients undergo a series of 4 sessions, spaced accordingly. Maintenance treatments can then be scheduled every 4 to 6 months to sustain the improvements.
Microneedling results typically start to become noticeable within 4 to 6 weeks after the treatment. This is because the procedure stimulates collagen and elastin production, which takes time to rebuild and strengthen the skin. Initially, you may notice a more radiant complexion within a few days as the skin heals, but the most significant improvements in texture, tone, and firmness will continue to develop over the following weeks and months. Multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal results, especially for addressing deeper concerns like scars or wrinkles.
