What to expect

  • • Avoid exposure to the sun and tanning beds for at least two weeks before the treatment.

    • Avoid using retinoids the four days leading up to your treatment and avoid using glycolic acid, or other exfoliating products for at least 24 hours before the treatment, as these can increase skin sensitivity.

    • Avoid getting a facial or any other skin treatments for at least two weeks before the treatment.

  • • We'll start with an examination of your facial skin and discussion of your symptoms and goals, then adjust the microneedling device according to your skin type.

    • Expect 30 minutes of numbing to make sure you don't feel a thing.

    • Once numb, we'll move the microneedling device across your facial skin to create the micro-punctures and apply a soothing gel to your face to end the treatment.

  • • Use only gentle, non-irritating skincare products for the first few days after the treatment.

    • Avoid using retinoids, glycolic acid, or other exfoliating products for at least 48 hours after the treatment.

    • Avoid exposure to the sun and tanning beds for at least two weeks after the treatment.

    • Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to the treated area whenever you go outside.

    • Avoid swimming, saunas, and other activities that may cause excessive sweating for at least 48 hours after the treatment.

    • Do not use makeup or other cosmetic products on the treated area for at least 24 hours after the treatment.

    • If you experience any redness, swelling, or discomfort, apply a cool compress to the treated area or take over-the-counter pain medication as needed.

 Common questions

  • Microneedling works by activating the body’s innate healing processes, such as skin cell turnover and collagen production. When you’re injured, your body produces new skin cells and collagen fibers to repair the damage. Collagen is a fibrous protein that makes your skin look firm, taut, and youthful. Microneedling essentially activates your body’s healing processes without significantly damaging your skin. Over time, your body produces new collagen fibers to reverse age-related changes, making your skin look smoother and firmer.

  • Microneedling doesn’t produce immediate results because it relies on your body’s innate healing processes. Your skin will gradually look smoother, tighter, and more youthful after a few weeks, with continued improvements for several months. Most patients need around 3 sessions for optimal results, depending on their specific conditions. Deep facial scars may necessitate more than 3 sessions. The results last long, but you should ideally undergo maintenance sessions once or twice a year to maintain youthful skin.

  • Microneedling is an extremely safe procedure with minimal post-treatment side effects, such as redness, swelling, tenderness, and mild pin-point bleeding. Most of the side effects dissipate within a day or two. Your face might look slightly flushed for a day or two, but there’s no pain. You can resume your daily activities and work immediately after the treatment. However, you should avoid direct sunlight, strenuous workouts, swimming, and other such activities until the side effects dissipate completely.

  • PRF contains a concentrated amount of platelets and growth factors that can promote tissue repair and stimulate collagen synthesis. When combined with microneedling, PRF can enhance the healing process and improve skin texture and tone.

    A combination of PRF with microneedling results in a significant increase in collagen and elastin fibers in the skin compared to microneedling alone.
