Microneedling

A topical anesthetic is typically applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most people report feeling minimal to moderate discomfort, often described as a mild prickling sensation.

Post-procedure, the skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a few days. Minimal downtime is needed, and most people can resume normal activities shortly after treatment.

• Avoid direct sun exposure and use a high-SPF sunscreen.
• Refrain from using harsh skincare products, like acids or retinoids, for a few days.
• Keep the skin moisturized and use gentle, soothing products.

Improvements can be seen within a few weeks, with continued improvements over several months as collagen production increases.

Microneedling may not be suitable for individuals with:

• Active acne or infections in the treatment area
• Skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis
• A history of keloid scars
• Poor wound healing or uncontrolled diabetes
