Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to puncture the epidermis. Microneedling, or percutaneous collagen induction therapy, was introduced in the 1990s for the treatment of scars, striae, and laxity. The mechanism of action is thought to be a disruption of the epidermis and dermis.

After Care

Sun protection

you should reach for sunscreen constantly for the first 2 weeks after microneedling. Make sure to apply sunscreen whenever you go outside in the days following your treatment.

Avoid infection

To protect your skin, you’ll also need to avoid swimming pools, saunas, and situations where you might sweat heavily, including intense workouts at the gym.

Avoid exfoliants, retinols, and vitamin C

Cleanser and moisturizer options

Run any cleansers, toners, or scrubs that you plan to use in the 2 to 3 days after microneedling by your dermatologist to make sure the ingredients won’t worsen side effects.

How Does it work

Consultation: As is the case for all other procedures done at our clinic, we start with a consultation. Before the procedure, you’ll typically have a consultation with a licensed practitioner to discuss your skin concerns and assess whether microneedling is suitable for you.

Preparation: Once you’ve decided to proceed under the guidance of a professional you move into the prep stage. Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure, if desired.

Treatment: The microneedling device, which can come in a variety of modes, is gently passed over the treatment area. Your aesthetician will check in periodically to ensure that you’re doing okay.
