What skin issues can microneedling improve?

Microneedling creates skin improvements by triggering your body’s natural healing abilities. The process uses tiny, sterile needles that penetrate the deeper layers of your skin. Your body reacts to each of these tiny punctures as a micro wound and launches a powerful healing reaction. 

Circulation to the treatment area improves, which in turn reduces swelling and speeds new tissue development. Your system creates new collagen and elastin, which work to smooth and tighten your skin. Microneedling can also break up areas of hyperpigmentation. 

Some of the issues that respond well to microneedling include:

• Acne
• Scarring
• Uneven skin tone
• Rough skin texture
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loose or crepey skin
• Enlarged pores
• Stretch marks

Many people choose microneedling because it can address more than one skin complaint at once, delivering an outstanding return on your aesthetic investment. 

What happens during microneedling sessions?

Your practitioner begins by discussing your treatment goals and evaluating your skin. Be sure to let your practitioner know about any medications you take as well as treatment for any current or recent skin conditions. 

A numbing cream reduces sensation in the treatment area. Your practitioner begins to move the treatment handpiece across your skin’s surface. 

You may feel mild burning, scratching, or tingling sensations during treatment, but there’s no significant pain. Treatment sessions last around an hour, and you can always ask your practitioner for a short break if you become uncomfortable. 

What is the recovery process like after microneedling treatment?

Some minor swelling, redness, bruising, and sensitivity are possible in the hours and days after your session. It’s important to avoid sun exposure, steam, harsh skin products, or pressure on the treatment area as your skin adjusts. 

While you might notice some immediate improvements after your sessions, it takes time for the full results to develop. Expect to see continuing improvement for the next 4-6 weeks. Many people achieve the best results after a series of several microneedling treatments, spread out over time to give your skin time to respond.
