Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, helping to reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and stretch marks. It is an effective solution for individuals seeking smoother, more even skin texture without the need for extensive downtime.
The Process
1. Consultation
2. Microneedling Procedure
3. Healing
What to Expect
Some redness and mild swelling immediately after the treatment.
Skin may appear slightly dry or flakey as it heals, but this is temporary.
Collagen production begins immediately, but optimal results are typically visible after 4–6 weeks as the skin continues to heal.
Results vary depending on the severity of scars and skin type but are generally visible after a few sessions.
Follow-Up & Touch-Ups
- For best results, multiple treatments are often recommended (3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart).
- Touch-ups may be necessary depending on the severity of the scars or skin condition.
- Microneedling results are long-lasting, but maintenance sessions every 6–12 months can help sustain the benefits.
Pre-Procedure Care
- Avoid using retinoids or strong acids for 2 weeks prior to the procedure.
- Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds for 2 weeks before the treatment.
- Discontinue using blood thinners, alcohol, and caffeine 48 hours before treatment.
- Cleanse your skin thoroughly before the session to ensure the area is free of makeup, lotions, and dirt.
Post-Procedure Care
Avoid sun exposure for 5–7 days after treatment, and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Do not use harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants, for at least 1 week.
Avoid sweating, saunas, and swimming for 3–5 days after the procedure.
Gently cleanse and moisturize the treated area with the recommended post-care products.
Results & Longevity
Visible results begin to appear after 4–6 weeks as collagen production increases.
Full results can be seen after 3–6 sessions, depending on the severity of the scars and skin concerns.
Results can last for several months, with touch-ups recommended every 6–12 months to maintain smooth, clear skin.
