Microneedling is a treatment that stimulates the body’s natural repair process through controlled micro-injuries. These tiny punctures trigger collagen and elastin production, helping skin heal stronger and smoother.
Preparing well makes a difference in both comfort and outcome:
Pause retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh skincare products. Avoid tanning and sunburn.
Stop using ibuprofen, aspirin, or other blood thinners (if approved by your doctor) to reduce bruising risk.
Arrive with a clean face — no makeup, lotions, or sunscreen. Stay hydrated and well-rested. Be prepared to feel mild pinpricks during the treatment, but numbing cream helps minimize discomfort.
Your provider should explain the process and create a plan that matches your skin goals, whether it’s reducing acne scars or improving fine lines.
Expect redness and sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. Avoid touching your face.
Do not apply makeup or active skincare products. Stick to gentle, hydrating serums and cleansers only.
Redness and peeling may last 2–5 days. Avoid direct sunlight, workouts, and swimming. Always use SPF when going outside
Improvements build over several sessions. A series of 3–6 treatments spaced a month apart provides the best long-term results.
