Traditional microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation.

Microneedling offers multiple benefits, including smoother skin, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, minimized acne scars, and improved skin tone and texture. It also enhances the absorption of skincare products for better results.

Microneedling can cause mild discomfort, but a numbing cream is typically applied before the treatment to minimize any pain. Most clients describe the sensation as tolerable.

After treatment, the skin may appear red and feel like a mild sunburn for a day or two. Minor swelling and peeling may occur, but these side effects usually resolve within a few days. Sunscreen and proper aftercare are important.

Microneedling works by triggering the body’s natural healing response. The controlled micro-injuries stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles, and minimizing scars or acne marks.

Yes, traditional microneedling is safe when performed by a trained professional. The procedure involves using sterile needles and is minimally invasive with little downtime. It’s suitable for most skin types.

Results vary, but most people notice improvement after 3-6 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Collagen production continues for several months post-treatment, leading to gradual improvement.

Microneedling is suitable for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven skin tone. It’s a versatile treatment that works on most skin types, but a consultation is recommended to ensure it’s right for your needs.
