wHAT IT IS

ABOUT microneedling
how it works
Microneedling uses a handheld device that uses extremely sharp, sterile needles to puncture the skin. This damage to the skin helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, which includes the increased production of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins for skin health.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with very little downtime. Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and a numbing cream will be applied prior to the treatment. During the treatment, you may feel some warmth and a scratching/pulling sensation as the device moves over your skin, but the numbing cream should keep pain to a minimum. Immediately after treatment, your skin will likely be red and swollen; this can last up to a few days. You can return to your normal routine immediately after the procedure, but you should stay out of the sun until your skin heals.
