Is Microneedling painful?

While many patients compare it to feeling like sandpaper lightly rubbed across their skin, others have mentioned feeling some sharp discomfort during their treatment. If you’re worried about your microneedling procedure, don’t worry: We use a topical numbing cream to manage any pain or discomfort you might feel during your treatment.

How many appointments will I need?

In order to see results, you should get at least three to four microneedling treatments that are spaced out every four to six weeks. Due to the nature of the treatment, your skin needs ample time to heal between treatments. For the average person, that will be around the one-month mark. You’ll likely notice some immediate improvements after your first treatment, but for best results, you should do multiple treatments.

How long until I see results?

Many of our clients are surprised to discover you can see initial results immediately after treatment. As soon as the deepest layers of your skin are penetrated by the needles, “micro-wounds” are created. This triggers your body’s wound-healing processes to heal your micro wounds immediately. However, the most dramatic results will not be visible until four to six weeks after treatment. It takes roughly this long for your body to create new, strong, healthy collagen. During your initial consultation, we will advise you of when you can expect to see results based on the results you are trying to achieve. For treating burn scars, you may need to wait between six months and a year to achieve your desired results. For cellular turnover and tissue rejuvenation, you can see results in as little as two weeks.

Can I combine Microneedling with other procedures?

Yes, you can! We offer various other treatments at Aviva Cosmetics & Laser Clinic. Clients can consider combining an IPL PhotoFacial or Microdermabrasion with their Microneedling treatment. Discuss your needs with our aesthetician during your consultation to arrive at the best order of treatments and packages for your individual cosmetic goals.

What are the risks associated with Microneedling?

Microneedling is widely considered to be low-risk as far as treatments go, however, every individual is different and so is their recovery process. Some possible risks to be aware of are as follows: It’s not a quick fix Healing and recovery time Pain and redness Peeling Possibility of Bruising and bleeding Possible scarring Infection If you are experiencing an unexpected reaction, please call our office immediately so we may help and try to resolve the condition.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). It is one of the hottest treatments right now in aesthetic medicine. Microneedling targets the elimination of fine lines, acne scars, traumatic scars, pores, and pigmentation, and helps enhance the skin’s texture, tone, and color. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker dermis with softer wrinkles.

The Microneedling treatment is appropriate for all parts of the body. The most popular areas are the face, neck, décolleté (chest), hands, scars, and stretch marks.

What to expect on the day of Microneedling treatment?

A topical numbing cream is applied to the skin before being treated. The handheld microneedling device contains tiny needles that are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin to promote collagen and elastin growth. We select the appropriate setting based on your unique needs. Next, in a single motion, the pen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding in one direction until the entire treatment area has been covered.

Typically, the procedure takes about 30-60 minutes but it can vary based on every individual case.

Microneedling Recovery?

Immediately after the treatment, you will notice a bright redness on the skin. The total healing time depends on the settings used and the number of overlapping passes needed for your skin’s condition. On average, clients experience redness and minor swelling for two to four days. Many clients heal completely in as little as 24 hours.
