You may experience mild side effects like redness, peeling, dryness, or slight burning, similar to a sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few days. Downtime is minimal, and you can resume most activities quickly. For optimal recovery, follow the aftercare instructions provided, which may include using soothing products and avoiding sun exposure. Your skin will gradually improve as it heals, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Results: Onset, Longevity, Frequency
After your microneedling treatment, you'll begin to notice an improvement in your skin’s texture and tone within a few days, with more significant results emerging over several weeks as collagen production increases. The effects are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying smoother, firmer skin for several months. To maintain these results, a series of three to six treatments spaced about four weeks apart is recommended. Periodic maintenance sessions may be suggested to keep your skin looking youthful and refreshed over time.
