What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. This triggers the skin’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. The result is reduced pore size, improved pigment issues, diminished stretch marks, softened acne scars, and overall smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.
What to Expect After Microneedling
Depending on the treatment depth, you might experience mild swelling and tenderness for up to three days, with redness and a warming sensation similar to sunburn lasting 24-48 hours. Sensitivity to hot water or extreme heat can last for a couple of days. Some redness, itching, or peeling may continue for up to a week. You can start seeing results after about one week, with optimal benefits typically after 3 to 5 treatment sessions.
