Microneedling is minimally invasive treatment, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a small handheld device with tiny needles to create small punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.

What Can I Expect During A Microneedling Treatment?
Pre-Treatment Consultation:
Before your microneedling session, you’ll have a consultation with our skincare experts. We’ll discuss your skincare concerns, goals, and medical history to customize the treatment plan to address your specific needs.
Skin Preparation:
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, dirt, and oils. This ensures a clean surface for the microneedling treatment and helps prevent infection.
Application of Topical Anesthetic:
To minimize discomfort during the procedure, a topical anesthetic may be applied to numb the treatment area. This helps ensure your comfort throughout the microneedling session.
Microneedling Treatment:
Once your skin is prepped and numb, the microneedling device will be gently passed over the treatment area. The device contains tiny needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and skin renewal.
Sensation:
During the microneedling treatment, you may experience a mild sensation of pressure or prickling. The topical anesthetic helps minimize any discomfort, and the procedure is generally well-tolerated by most individuals.
Treatment Duration:
The duration of the microneedling session will depend on the size of the treatment area and the specific concerns being addressed. Our skincare specialists will ensure that you receive a thorough and effective treatment.
Post-Treatment Care:
After microneedling, your skin may appear slightly red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. You’ll be provided with post-treatment instructions, including skincare products to use and activities to avoid to promote optimal healing and results.
How To Prepare For A Microneedling Treatment?
Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit your sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for at least a week before your microneedling appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive during the treatment and may increase the risk of post-procedure complications.
Discontinue Certain Skincare Products: Stop using any retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or other exfoliating products for a few days leading up to your microneedling session. These products can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of irritation during the treatment.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your microneedling appointment to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Hydrated skin is better able to tolerate the microneedling procedure and may heal more quickly afterward.
Inform Your Specialist: Be sure to inform your skincare specialist about any medications you’re taking, including prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements. Some medications can affect how your skin responds to microneedling, so it’s important to disclose this information before your treatment.
Arrive with Clean Skin: On the day of your microneedling appointment, cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove any makeup, dirt, and oils. This ensures a clean surface for the microneedling treatment and helps prevent infection.
