What is Microneedling?
The duration of microneedling results can vary depending on factors such as the specific skin concerns being addressed, individual skin type, and the number of treatments received. In general, the effects of microneedling can last for several months to over a year. However, to maintain optimal results, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is often recommended. Additionally, incorporating a good skincare routine and protecting the skin from sun damage can help prolong the benefits of microneedling treatments.
What is the downtime for Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, diminished acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation. When combined with skin boosters, microneedling can enhance the absorption and effectiveness of the active ingredients, resulting in a synergistic effect that further improves hydration, skin tone, and overall complexion.
How long does
Microneedling last?
Microneedling typically involves minimal downtime, with mild redness and swelling that may last for about 1 to 2 days following the procedure. It's advisable to avoid direct sun exposure and use gentle skincare products during this time to optimize the healing process.
