Microneedling has become a highly sought-after cosmetic procedure to rejuvenate the skin. Although you may find various microneedling devices, the SkinPen microneedling system stands out for its precision and effectiveness.
If you are well-versed in this process and its aftercare, the session can be more beneficial for you.
The Treatment Process, Step by Step
The consultation phase of your SkinPen microneedling procedure will start with our team evaluating your objectives and skin issues. Prior to beginning treatment, we will cleanse the skin and apply a topical numbing cream to reduce discomfort.
Following the application of the numbing lotion, we will use the SkinPen tool to make precise tiny punctures on the skin’s surface. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing mechanism. This encourages the synthesis of elastin and collagen. The process usually takes thirty to sixty minutes.
Microneedling Aftercare
You might experience redness, mild swelling, and tightness in the first 24 hours post-treatment. These effects are normal as they fade away after a few days. You must avoid using makeup, strenuous exercise, and direct sun exposure during this initial recovery period.
Over the next few days, your skin will begin to heal and regenerate. You may notice some peeling or flaking as the old skin cells are replaced by new, healthy ones. Keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun.
Most patients start to see visible improvements in their skin within a week. However, full results can be visible over several weeks as collagen production continues. Some patients may need multiple sessions for optimal results. It can vary as per specific skin concerns.
