Microneedling isn’t as painful as you may think. A prescription strength numbing cream is applied to the treatment area for 5-10 minutes before the procedure begins. The numbing agent significantly decreases patient discomfort. There may be a few bony areas of the face such as the temples, forehead, and chin that are slightly tender. Patients normally report a sensation of “pressure” during microneedling. The entire procedure takes between 15-20 minutes.

It is also important to note that microneedling will stimulate your body’s production of natural collagen. Dermal science has proven that collagen synthesis is vital to healthy, glowing skin. Microneedling causes dermal “micro-injuries” that stimulate a team of inflammatory blood cells to migrate to the treatment area and aid in tissue repair which cause new collagen to be produced.

Everyone is different, but the collagen you make is your own and continues accelerated production over 3 months.

We recommend 3 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to provide optimal results. It can take up to 3 months to see the full effect of your results, as the process of collagen regeneration increases over time.
