During your treatment, your provider will apply topical numbing cream for 15-20 minutes to help alleviate any discomfort.
This treatment uses a device that has numerous small, sterile needles in a cartridge that make multiple micro-punctures in your skin.
Your skin will look red and tight after the treatment.
Appointment Length:
50-55 minutes.
Frequency of Treatment:
A series of 4-6 treatments are necessary for optimal results. Microneedling may be done each month.
Downtime
For 24-48 hours, your skin may look pink and feel like you have a sunburn. Skin may feel tight, dry, or sensitive to the touch. Redness or sensitivity are normal.
Post Care:
The next day, you may cleanse with a gentle cleanser and fingertips. DO NOT use a washcloth or facial cleansing brush of any kind. Pat area dry.
Use sunscreen and reapply after every 2 hours of sun exposure to protect new skin.
Do not use any physical or chemical exfoliation (retinol, etc) products for at least 5 days after.
You may notice skin dryness and flaking. This is due to an increased turnover of skin cells.
Do not pick, scratch, or scrub! Allow old skin to flake off naturally and KEEP SKIN MOISTURIZED AT ALL TIMES.
It is recommended that makeup should not be applied for 24 hours after the treatment. Do not apply any makeup with a makeup brush, especially if it is not clean.
