MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It involves the use of a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound-healing processes, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin.

1. What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. This can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and skin texture.
2. What skin concerns can microneedling address?
Microneedling is commonly used to treat:
-
Acne scars
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Enlarged pores
-
Stretch marks
-
Uneven skin tone or texture
-
Hyperpigmentation and melasma
3. Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling is generally well-tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most patients report feeling a slight pressure or tingling sensation during the treatment.
4. How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns and goals.
-
Mild issues: 3–4 sessions
-
Moderate to severe issues: 4–6+ sessions
Treatments are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
5. How long does it take to see results?
You may notice improvements in skin texture and tone within a week. However, full results often take 4–6 weeks as collagen production continues to develop. For optimal results, multiple treatments may be required.
6. Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include:
-
Redness and swelling (similar to a mild sunburn)
-
Minor skin sensitivity or tightness
-
Temporary dryness or flaking
These effects usually subside within 1–3 days.
7. Is there any downtime after microneedling?
There is minimal downtime. You can resume most daily activities within 24 hours, but avoid intense sun exposure, makeup, and harsh skincare products for the first 48–72 hours.
8. Who is a good candidate for microneedling?
Microneedling is safe for most skin types and tones. Ideal candidates are individuals looking to improve mild to moderate skin concerns. However, it may not be suitable for those with:
-
Active skin infections (e.g., acne breakouts or cold sores)
-
Severe eczema or psoriasis
-
Keloid-prone skin
-
Open wounds or cuts on the treatment area
9. Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, microneedling is often combined with treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), chemical peels, or topical serums to enhance results. Consult your provider to determine the best combination for your needs.
10. How do I prepare for a microneedling session?
-
Avoid retinoids, acids, or exfoliating products for 3–5 days before treatment.
-
Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds.
-
Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and lotion.
11. Is microneedling safe to do at home?
At-home microneedling devices exist but are generally less effective than professional treatments. Using these devices improperly can lead to skin damage, infection, or irritation. Professional treatments are recommended for safety and optimal results.
12. Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
It is recommended to avoid makeup for at least 24–48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation and infection. Once the skin has healed, you can resume wearing makeup as usual.
