What is microneedling?

• The Process: We apply a topical numbing cream to the area. A handheld, pen-like device with tiny needles is then used to puncture the skin.
• Depth: Needles typically penetrate between 0.5 mm and 2.5 mm, depending on the target area and skin concerns.
• The Science: The micro-injuries prompt the skin to send growth factors to the area, resulting in improved texture, firmness, and ton

 Microneedling is used to address a wide variety of skin issues, including: 

• Fine lines and moderate wrinkles
• Atrophic acne scars
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Stretch marks and surgical scars 

• Immediate Effects: After a session, your skin will typically be red, tender, and feel tight, resembling a mild sunburn.
• Healing Time: Most side effects subside within 2 to 5 days, and makeup can usually be applied after 24 hours.
• Number of Sessions: A series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is usually recommended for optimal results

• Who it's for: Microneedling is generally considered safe for most skin types, but it should be avoided by pregnant individuals, people with active acne, or those with certain skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
• Professional Care: To minimize risks like infection or skin damage, always seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or licensed aesthetician. 
• At-home rollers: While manual at-home rollers exist, they do not penetrate the skin as deeply as professional automated devices and are typically less effective.
