What is a microneedling treatment like?

First thing’s first, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area for optimum comfort. Then, we’ll move the microneedling device gently across your skin in very specific motions. You’ll feel a slight pricking sensation during this part, but most people tolerate it very well. If chosen as part of your treatment, any nourishing serums will then be applied…which are very easily absorbed by the treated skin for maximum effectiveness. 

Does microneedling have any side effects?

In most cases, microneedling sessions carry minimal side effects and don’t require any downtime. Mild swelling and redness of the treatment area are common and typically go away in a day or two. There are minimal risks of scarring or infection, but those are rare…especially when you have a trained provider. 

When will I notice the results of my microneedling session?

A lot of people notice some improvement right after their treatment. But it keeps getting better as continued improvement unfolds in the days and weeks following treatment. That’s because your skin’s collagen production kicks into high gear, leading to that beautiful, refreshed look. 

How many microneedling treatments will I need?

Though one treatment sometimes achieves the desired result, we’ve found that the most dramatic improvements typically take about three treatments, which we usually schedule about 30 days apart. During your consultation at Skin Esteem, we’ll talk about your individual goals and develop a customized treatment plan to fit your needs.
