WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE PROCEDURE?
During the treatment, a specially designed cosmetic stylus is used to direct a fleet of a dozen sterile needles as they brush against the pores, creating micro-injuries that stimulate the body to heal itself. Prior to the procedure, a soothing gel is used to minimize abrasion and lubricate the stylus. As the pen glides across the skin, patients may experience a sandpaper-like sensation, but this is no more irritating than a typical over-the-counter apricot scrub, for instance. Microneedling is often enhanced through the use of skin-renewal serums such as hyaluronic acid, kojic acid and growth factor gels. The entire procedure lasts approximately 30 - 45 minutes, and results can continue to impress for up to one year.
RISKS OF MICRONEEDLING
The microneedling procedure is a non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment that offers long-lasting results within days. Since no chemicals are used to treat the skin, chances of allergies, infections, injuries and skin damage are negligible.
But, considering that the microneedling procedure is a cosmetic treatment, patients need to be aware that they may experience minor swelling, bleeding and bruising post-treatment. These symptoms will reduce and disappear within a few days after the procedure.
The microneedling procedure in itself isn’t very painful. But, depending on your pain threshold, you may experience minor pain. The doctor may prescribe pain medication which you’ll need to take until the pain subsides.
Your skin may feel raw and itchy for a few hours after the treatment. This occurs as a result of the swelling in the open pores of the skin. The pores close within 90 minutes of the treatment, significantly reducing the swelling and itchiness on the face. Your skin should go back to normal within 12 to 48 hours after the procedure.
We will provide you with a comprehensive skin care regimen at our clinic, which you need to follow post-treatment. Carefully following this skincare plan will help your skin heal faster and will allow you to regain your beautiful and youthful appearance.

PERFECT FOR ALL SKIN TYPES
Most dermal treatments need to be customized to suit different skin types to prevent chances of pigmentation and marks. However, with the microneedling procedure, there is nothing to worry about.
The microneedling procedure follows the principles of acupuncture and is designed to suit every single skin type, including dark skin. This treatment does not use any chemical peels or topical ointments to provide the desired result. Instead, a device with tiny needles (or rollers in non-electronic devices) is used to make tiny punctures on the skin, promoting the skin to rejuvenate and heal itself through the production of excess elastin and collagen.
When fresh elastin and collagen are produced by the skin, the sun damage, pigmentation, acne scars, and marks are naturally healed, and the face is filled in. If you’d like more information about the procedure, feel free to visit our clinic.
RECOVERY FROM MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling clients may experience some redness as a result of the procedure, comparable to a sunburn. This usually heals quite rapidly within the first week and is no cause for alarm. Our technician will provide you with healing ointments that can remedy any discomfort, and makeup can be worn to help conceal any lingering pinkness. It’s important to avoid the sun after your treatment, and to wear sunblock.
Results can begin to show within 7-10 days in the form of a fresh lovely glow, and the skin tone may continue to improve for 6 months, as more and more healthy skin cells are produced. Microneedling can be repeated more than once, as determined by our technician during follow-up visits. Typically, he will suggest that sessions are at least 6-8 weeks apart, however many patients find that even just one treatment is enough to dramatically improve the look and feel of the skin.
