What you need to know about your upcoming microneedling treatment
Skin rejuvenation services are growing in popularity as patients find out that plastic surgery is not the only way to enhance one’s facial appearance. The skin’s texture and tone can be improved in many ways, including skincare services like microneedling. Dr. Sang Kim of Beyond Skin Dermatology in Aurora, Colorado, is a professional who is here to assist with a myriad of treatments, including microneedling treatment. Let’s look at what microneedling is, what it can do, and other commonly asked questions.
What is microneedling, and how does it work?
Microneedling is a skin treatment that involves tiny, superfine needles creating micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. While it sounds scary, it is not! These little “injuries” kickstart the skin’s natural healing process, producing collagen and elastin, the secret ingredients to smooth, glowing skin.
Does microneedling hurt?
Most patients describe it as feeling like tiny vibrations or a little sandpaper-like sensation. Plus, a numbing cream is usually applied beforehand, so you can focus on imagining that fresh-faced glow instead of any discomfort.
What skin concerns can microneedling help with?
Microneedling has many advantages regarding what skin conditions it can treat. It can tackle fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, and even uneven skin tone. It’s a great way to refresh and rejuvenate your complexion.
How long does it take to see results?
While some of our patients will notice an immediate glow, the real magic happens as your skin produces collagen over the next four to six weeks. The results get better with each session, so hang in there—you will love what you see!
How many sessions do I need?
It depends on your skin’s needs! On average, people go for three to six treatment sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Your skincare professional at our office customizes a plan for your unique goals.
Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
Do not wear makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment. Your skin needs time to breathe and heal, so stick with hydrating serums and gentle products.
Are there any side effects to the microneedling procedure?
You might experience redness and mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn! These effects typically fade within a day or two. Protect your skin with SPF because sun sensitivity can increase temporarily.
Is the microneedling treatment worth it?
Absolutely! If you’re looking for a non-invasive treatment to improve texture, tone, and overall skin radiance, microneedling is a game-changer. Plus, who doesn’t love an excuse for some personal self-care?
