Microneedling
About Microneedling
Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that uses a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing process, which leads to the production of collagen and elastin. This results in improved skin texture, tightness, and reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and hyperpigmentation. It is a minimally invasive procedure, which can be performed in-office and typically requires little to no downtime. It is safe for most skin types and can be used on the face, neck, chest, and body. It is often combined with other treatments for enhanced results.
Pre-Treatment Considerations
- Discontinue use of topical retinoids, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or abrasive products 48 hours before the appointment.
- Avoid using aspirin, ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, blood thinners, fish oils, or multivitamin supplements 1 week prior to the procedure to minimize bleeding and bruising.
- No Accutane use within the past six months.
- Schedule appointment at least two weeks before any event to allow for proper healing.
- Topical numbing cream will be applied 30 minutes prior to the procedure.
Post-Treatment Considerations
- Keep skin clean and moisturized.
- Avoid picking or scratching the skin during the healing process.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, and heat exposure for 24 hours.
- Avoid tanning or direct sun exposure.
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+ and reapply every 2 hours.
- Wear protective clothing.
- Make-up may be worn after 24 hours.
- May restart regular skincare routine, including exfoliants, in 1-3 days or once the skin is no longer healing.
