What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a device like SkinPen to create tiny microchannels in the skin. These microchannels stimulate collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Think of it as giving your skin a fresh start!
What Are the Benefits?
Microneedling offers a wide range of benefits, making it a go-to treatment for many skin concerns. Here’s what it can do for you:
• Reduce the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring
• Smooth uneven texture and minimize pore size
• Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation
• Boost the effectiveness of skincare products by enhancing absorption
Does It Hurt?
Microneedling is generally well-tolerated by most patients. Before the treatment, a numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. While you may feel a slight sensation during the procedure, it’s often described as a mild tingling or scratching feeling. After the treatment, your skin might feel a bit sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within 24-48 hours.
When Can I Wear Makeup Again?
The good news? You can wear makeup again after just eight hours! This allows enough time for your skin to begin its initial healing process and reduces the risk of irritation.
Will I See a Difference After One Treatment?
Yes, many patients notice an improvement in their skin after just one session! However, the beauty of SkinPen lies in its cumulative results. For optimal benefits, we recommend a series of three treatments spaced about four weeks apart.
Why three? Each session works to build collagen and elastin in the skin, progressively improving texture, tone, and elasticity. By completing a series of treatments, you’re essentially helping your skin rebuild a tablespoon of collagen, which significantly enhances its strength, structure, and overall glow. Think of it as a long-term investment in your skin’s health and radiance!
