Your appointment will be scheduled for 45 minutes.
The results of your microneedling session can last several months, with collagen production continuing to improve the skin’s appearance over time. For long-term maintenance, many patients opt for regular treatments every four to six months to sustain and enhance their results. Following the recommended series of three treatments helps achieve more lasting improvements.
Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, and we ensure that our patients experience no discomfort during their treatment.
It’s important to avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least a week before your microneedling appointment to minimize skin sensitivity. You should also discontinue the use of retinoids, acids, and exfoliating products for three to five days prior. Staying well hydrated is key, so be sure to drink plenty of water leading up to the appointment. Additionally, avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for a few days to reduce the risk of bruising.
Downtime is minimal after your microneedling treatment. Your skin may appear red and feel like a mild sunburn for one to three days. Some of our patients also experience slight swelling, dryness, or flaking as the skin heals. You can resume your normal activities within 24 to 48 hours, but it’s important to avoid sun exposure, heavy sweating, and harsh skincare products during the healing process.
