MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a procedure where tiny needles are used to create punctures on the topmost layer of your skin. These needle pricks make your skin think that it is injured and therefore it accelerates collagen production and healing. This process is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, acne scarring, fine lines, brown spots, pigmentation, and improve the overall skin texture. Numbing included.
FAQ
Microneedling is ideal for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, or hyperpigmentation. It’s suitable for most skin types but not recommended for those with active acne, certain skin conditions, or pregnant individuals.
Initial results, like smoother and glowing skin, can be seen within a week after the first session. More significant improvements in scars, wrinkles, or pigmentation will become noticeable after 3–6 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart.
Results can last several months to a year, depending on your skin concerns and maintenance. Periodic touch-up sessions, combined with a proper skincare routine, can help sustain the results.
Microneedling has minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for 1–3 days after the procedure, similar to a sunburn. Some peeling or dryness might occur as the skin heals. These effects are temporary.
Before treatment, avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and harsh skincare for at least 3–5 days. After the procedure, use gentle, hydrating skincare products, avoid sun exposure, and apply sunscreen diligently. Avoid makeup and strenuous activities for 24–48 hours.
