FAQs
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the natural healing response of the skin, leading to collagen and elastin production, and ultimately improving the texture and appearance of the skin.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
Our Microneedling treatment at Skyn Esthetics offers a range of benefits, including:
- Improved skin texture and tone;
- Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles;
- Minimization of acne scars and other types of scars;
- Diminished hyperpigmentation and age spots;
- Enhanced absorption and effectiveness of skincare products;
- Overall rejuvenation and revitalization of the skin.
Is microneedling suitable for all skin types?
Yes, microneedling is generally safe and suitable for all skin types. At Skyns Esthetics, we may customize it to address specific concerns; and it is effective for various skin conditions, including acne scars, sun damage, aging skin, and uneven skin texture.
What is the procedure like and is it painful?
During a microneedling session, a numbing cream may be applied to minimize any potential discomfort. At Skyn, we use Rejuvapen with its precisely spaced microneedles in a small cartridge to create invisible, vertical, and micro perforations into the top layers of your skin. Of course, the depth of the needles can be adjusted based on the treatment goals and specific areas being treated. While some individuals may experience mild discomfort, the procedure is generally tolerable.
What is the downtime and recovery period after microneedling?
After microneedling, you can expect some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn. This typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the depth of the treatment. The skin may also feel slightly sensitive or tight temporarily. We will always recommend post-care instructions – which may include avoiding sun exposure and using recommended skincare products.
How long does it take to see results from microneedling?
The results are not immediate and typically become noticeable gradually over time. Collagen production and remodeling take time, so improvements in skin texture, tone, and appearance can be seen over several weeks to months following the treatment. Consistency with recommended treatment sessions and adherence to proper skincare practices (all recommended at Skyn Esthetics) can maximize and maintain the results.
