How often should I get Micro needling?

Patients should typically have a 4 to 6 week gap between their procedures.

Is the Micro needling for me?

Micro needling has cosmetic and medical uses. You might consider micro needling if you’re concerned about:

Enlarged pores.
Fine lines or wrinkles.
Loose or crepe like (thin and wrinkled) skin.
Mild scars, especially those from acne or burns.
Skin discoloration or uneven skin tone.
Stretch marks.

The procedure can also help people who have medical conditions such as:

Alopecia areata (hair loss due to an autoimmune disease).
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

In some cases, healthcare providers use micro needling to deliver drugs or vaccines directly into your skin. The microneedles might be part of a patch that people apply themselves instead of going to their healthcare provider for shots.

Does Micro needling hurt?

Micro needling procedures aren’t painful, but they can be uncomfortable, especially for patients who may be afraid of needles.

Micro needling uses tiny needlepoints to create punctures within the dermis; doing so helps encourage the body’s collagen and elastin production, leading to younger and smoother-looking skin. While many patients compare it to feeling sandpaper lightly rubbed across their skin, others mention feeling some sharp discomfort during their treatment.

If you’re worried about your micro needling procedure, don’t worry: We use a topical numbing cream to manage any pain or discomfort you might feel during your treatment.
