Frequently Asked Questions

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production to rejuvenate and repair the skin.

The procedure involves a pen-like device with fine needles that gently puncture the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural healing response and promoting new collagen formation.

Microneedling effectively addresses fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone or texture.

Our clinic offers Microneedling treatments using a pen device without radiofrequency (RF), focusing on precision and safety while delivering excellent results.

Yes, Microneedling is safe and effective for most skin types, including darker skin tones, when performed by a trained professional.

The number of treatments varies depending on your specific skin concerns. Most clients benefit from 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness and sensitivity for 1 to 3 days, similar to a mild sunburn.

Mild side effects like redness, swelling, and slight flaking are common and typically resolve within a few days.

Avoid direct sun exposure, use gentle skincare products, and apply sunscreen to protect your skin. Follow your practitioner’s specific aftercare instructions.

Initial improvements in skin texture can be seen within a week, with continued enhancement over the following months as collagen builds.

Microneedling results can last several months. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the benefits over time.

Microneedling is ideal for individuals seeking to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars or fine lines, and achieve overall skin rejuvenation. A consultation will help determine if this treatment is right for you.

What are the causes?

Microneedling can be a treatment for conditions such as:

Acne

Acne is caused by an inflammation of the sebaceous glands which, when clogged, increase the proliferation of the bacteria Propionibacterium Acnes, causing skin eruptions. Acne can last for several months or even years and affect both teenagers and adults.

Dark circles and hollows

Dark circles and hollows occur due to thinning of the skin and loss of fat and collagen, which can highlight blood vessels or shadows beneath the eyes.

Dilated pores

Dilated pores are often caused by excessive sebum production, loss of skin elasticity, or aging, which causes the pores to appear larger and more visible.

Dull Complexion

A dull complexion often results from dead skin cell buildup, dehydration, or environmental factors such as pollution and UV exposure.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles develop as collagen and elastin fibers in the skin decrease with age, leading to less elasticity and firmness.

Hands

Hands often show signs of aging and damage due to constant exposure to the environment and less protection than other parts of the body.

Sagging skin (Body)

Sagging skin on the body is often caused by a loss of collagen and elastin, significant weight loss, or the natural aging process.

Sagging skin (Face)

Sagging skin on the face results from aging, gravity, and the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin.

Scars

Scars form as part of the skin's healing process after an injury or inflammation, with their appearance depending on the depth and location of the wound.

Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation occurs when excess melanin is produced, often due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin injury.

Stretch marks

Stretch marks are caused by rapid stretching of the skin, such as during pregnancy or significant weight changes, leading to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers.

Acne Scarring

Severe acne often results in scarring that can be treated with laser resurfacing to promote collagen regeneration.

Skin Laxity or Sagging

Skin laxity and sagging can be addressed with PicoWay or GentleMax Pro Plus lasers that stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin.

Aging

Aging is a natural biological process, its effects on the skin—such as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dryness, and uneven skin tone—are often treated and managed within the realm of skincare. Many skincare products and treatments focus on addressing and minimizing these signs of aging to maintain a youthful and healthy appearance.
