What is the downtime?
Microneedling is a well tolerated procedure with minimal downtime and side effects. You may experience mild tenderness and moderate redness to the skin. This typically lasts around 24 hours post treatment. The next 48-72 hours the skin may be slightly pink tinged. Dryness can last a few days post microneedling. Your provider will guide you on adequate skincare post treatment.
Within 1-2 weeks the skin will appear glowing and feel refreshed. Collagen production continues for several weeks post treatment.
How many sessions do I need?
Although results can be seen with one session, typically 3 sessions are needed for optimal results. You can anticipate being in office for 45-60 minutes per session. Each treatment should be spaced 6-8 weeks apart. After the initial treatment series, a maintenance session is recommended every 6-12 months.
