Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates tiny micro-channels in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. This results in smoother, younger-looking, and healthier skin.
It is also highly effective for hair growth, as it stimulates the scalp and supports new hair follicle development. Combined with strengthening serums, microneedling improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and scars, and promotes thicker, healthier hair.
FAQs
Microneedling is generally well-tolerated by most clients, with many describing the sensation as a mild prickling or tingling feeling. A topical numbing cream is usually applied before the treatment to minimize discomfort. During the procedure, the “Twist” device is gently glided across the skin or scalp to create tiny punctures, which stimulate the body’s natural healing response. The treatment typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Some clients may notice an improvement in skin texture and appearance immediately after the treatment. However, the full effects of microneedling become more apparent over time, as collagen and elastin production increases. Optimal results are usually achieved after a series of treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions required depends on the individual’s specific concerns and desired outcomes. Your practitioner will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and goals.
After a microneedling treatment, it is essential to keep the treated area clean and avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours. Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer, and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when outdoors. Some temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, and minor discomfort, which typically subside within 1-2 days. Avoid using makeup, exfoliating products, or swimming in chlorinated pools for at least 24 hours after the treatment. Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process and optimal results.
