Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure using thin needles. The procedure can help reduce the appearance of skin concerns such as acne scars, stretch marks or wrinkles. Most people get microneedling for cosmetic purposes, but it can also help with some medical conditions.

You might consider microneedling if you’re concerned about:

• Enlarged pores.
• Fine lines or wrinkles
• Loose or crepey (thin and wrinkled) skin.
• Mild scars, especially those from acne or burns 

Who shouldn’t have microneedling?

Talk to your healthcare provider before getting microneedling if you have:

• Acne or are taking medication for acne.
• Blood disorders or are on anticoagulants (drugs that prevent blood clots).
• Cancer and are receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
• Frequent skin rashes (contact dermatitis) or cold sores.
• Keloidal tendency (your skin forms hard, raised scars).
• Moles, freckles, skin tags or other growths that change in size or shape or bleed.
• Skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.

What are the benefits of microneedling?

Microneedling can help improve the appearance and texture of your skin. It can minimize stretch marks, scars, wrinkles and other skin concerns.

It doesn’t carry the risk of skin discoloration, unlike some facial rejuvenation procedures that use heat, light or lasers. This makes microneedling ideal for people with darker skin tones.

What can I expect after microneedling?

In the days and weeks after microneedling, you might notice that your skin burns or feels tight. Some people also have dry, flaking skin that improves with moisturizer.

How often do I get this treatment?

Most people need multiple microneedling treatments, usually about 3 weeks to 8 weeks apart. This is why we make it mandatory for at leat three sessions with our in house Aestitician.
