Microneedling has gained popularity for its growing list of benefits. It is said to rejuvenate and plump the skin with minimal discomfort and can be adjusted to fit each person’s needs.
Benefits of microneedling can include:

Reducing the appearance of scars, including acne scars
Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Reducing enlarged pores
Reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, or dark spots
Smoothing uneven skin tone

What happens during Microneedling?

After your skin is cleansed, a numbing cream such as lidocaine is applied. Next, your Aesthetician or health care provider uses a hand-held electric tool with tiny needles that pulse up and down to puncture the skin. The length of the needles can be adjusted. Longer needles go deeper into the skin, which might be necessary for deep scars or pockmarks from acne.
You may feel warmth or a scratching sensation on your face once the microneedling starts. Deep microneedling might cause a little bleeding. Each session may last about 30 minutes depending on the area treated. In just an hour you can be back to work or play without down time or pain.

What can I expect after Microneedling?

You can experience minor redness and irritation for a few days following the procedure. Some people also have dry, flaking skin that improves with moisturizer. A typical patient recommendation is a series of 3 or 4 treatments spaced one month apart, however that can vary based on individual needs. A once-a-year treatment may be recommended for maintenance. Results will appear over the next several months.

What safety tips should I know before Microneedling?

The FDA regulates microneedling products that are medical devices to make sure they are safe and work as claimed. Not all microneedling products are medical devices. The FDA has not authorized any microneedling medical devices for over-the-counter sale. The FDA recommends that this service be performed by a certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon or an aesthetician under a doctor’s supervision. Microneedling is not suitable for everyone, so it’s important to talk to a health care provider if you have:

Active acne or use certain acne medications.
Cancer and are receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Moderate to severe psoriasis or eczema
Frequent rashes (contact dermatitis) or cold sores.
