Microneedling

Frequently Asked Questions

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a Dermapen procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin. The purpose of treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin. Microneedling is mostly used on the face and may treat various scars, wrinkles, and large pores

How often should I get microneedling?

As a general rule of thumb, microneedling treatment can be safely done about once a month or every 4 to 6 weeks.

Is microneedling painful?

Microneedling works by creating small punctures in the skin. While it is not overly painful, it can be uncomfortable.

Why can’t I wear makeup after microneedling?

You may have red or irritated skin immediately after your session is performed. It's important that you don't put on makeup to cover up this redness. You need to keep your skin clean and let it naturally respond and heal.

Miconeedling or Chemical Peels?

Both chemical peels and microneedling will improve the appearance of your skin. Chemical peels generally work best on superficial imperfections, while microneedling penetrates deeper to improve more troublesome issues.
