Microneedling is known as collagen induction therapy (CIT). This is a skin treatment that uses several sterile needles to create small punctures in the skin. CIT is used to improve fine lines, scars, hyperpigmentation, decrease the appearance of pores, and provide overall skin rejuvenation. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is applied to the skin prior to microneedling to provide additional growth factors and decrease recovery time. Expect 1-3 days of redness. Best results seen with 3-6 treatments.
FAQs
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy (CIT), is suitable for improving fine lines, scars, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin rejuvenation. If you want to address these concerns and achieve smoother, more radiant skin, Microneedling may suit you.
Results from Microneedling are often noticeable within a few weeks following the treatment as collagen production and skin regeneration processes are stimulated. However, optimal results typically become more apparent with successive treatments, and a series of sessions may be recommended for the best outcome.
The duration of results from Microneedling can vary depending on factors such as individual skin characteristics, the severity of concerns addressed, and lifestyle factors. Generally, 3-6 treatments spaced several weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments may be advised to sustain skin improvements over time.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure, and as such, some mild side effects, such as redness, swelling, and sensitivity, may occur following the treatment. These effects typically subside within 1-3 days. It’s essential to follow post-care instructions provided by your skincare professional to minimize discomfort and support healing.
Before your microneedling session, it’s recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure and use specific skincare products containing retinoids or exfoliating agents for a few days. After the treatment, keeping the treated area clean and hydrated is essential while avoiding direct sun exposure and strenuous activities for a few days to support optimal healing and results.
During the Microneedling treatment, a skincare professional will use a device with several sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) may be applied to the skin beforehand to enhance the treatment’s efficacy and aid healing. You may experience some mild discomfort or a sensation of tingling or warmth during the procedure. Following the treatment, you can expect mild redness and possibly slight swelling, which typically resolves within a few days, revealing smoother, more radiant skin.
