FAQs: Microneedling
Microneedling is not painful, as a topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to minimize discomfort. Many individuals experience mild sensations, likened to a slight tingling or prickling.
While individual results may vary, we often recommend an initial series of 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Based on your skin and cosmetic goals, maintenance sessions may be required afterward.
Yes, while microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries using fine needle, it is considered safe when performed by a trained and qualified dermatology provider. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing processes and collagen production.
Microneedling and microdermabrasion are both popular skin treatments, but they work in different ways and target different skin concerns. Microneedling uses a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. This can help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin tone and firmness. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that uses a handheld device to gently sand away the outer layer of the skin. This helps to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote the growth of new, healthier skin cells. Microdermabrasion is often used to improve the appearance of sun damage, age spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
If you are trying to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and scars from acne or surgery, microneedling is a great treatment option for you. This service improves the overall texture of you skin while minimizing pore size and promoting a smoother complexion overall. Microneedling also can also increase the effectiveness of your skincare products. With minimal downtime and suitability for various skin types, microneedling is a popular choice for individuals seeking a non-invasive yet effective solution for skin rejuvenation and improvement.
