Your Guide to Microneedling: What to Expect

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This controlled micro-injury stimulates the body's natural wound healing process, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production.

What Does It Treat?

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Stretch marks

What to Expect During Treatment

A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure comfort. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you may experience mild redness for 24-48 hours afterwards.

Results

Most patients see improvement after 2-3 sessions, with optimal results after a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The results continue to improve over several months as new collagen forms.
