Microneedling Before and After One Treatment, What to Expect

17 August 2023

In the pursuit of youthful and radiant skin, aging often presents hurdles like wrinkles, thinning skin, and sagging due to decreased collagen production. These signs become more noticeable over time, impacting our confidence and self-esteem. Fortunately, cosmetic treatments offer solutions and one treatment that has been gaining popularity is microneedling, you can see results after just one session!

Preparation

Before your first treatment, it’s essential to consult with a skincare professional who can guide you through the process. During this consultation, you’ll discuss your skin concerns, desired outcomes, and create a plan tailored to your specific needs.

The initial step involves applying a topical numbing agent to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. This preparation ensures that your experience is as painless as possible.

During and After

The procedure itself is relatively short, lasting around 30 minutes. As the SkinPen® microneedling device is gently applied to your skin, you might feel a tingling sensation. This will subside as you become accustomed to it.

The microneedling process involves creating controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries serve as triggers for your skin’s natural healing response, producing collagen. SkinPen® delicately creates thousands of microscopic channels during the treatment, boosting your skin’s renewal process.

As the session concludes, you may notice your skin appears slightly pink or red, resembling a mild sunburn. This is normal and a sign that your skin’s healing is already underway.

Aftercare and Results

After your microneedling treatment, your skincare professional will provide you with a skincare regimen. This often includes products like Skinfuse® LIFT, a hydrogel designed to moisturize your skin and prevent dryness post-treatment. Following these guidelines ensures that your skin receives the care it needs.

Over the next few days, you might experience mild dryness, roughness, or tightness. These are signs that your skin is responding to the treatment and beginning its rejuvenation process. As your skin heals, these effects gradually decrease, leaving you with a revitalized complexion.

The Transformation

The magic of microneedling becomes clear when you see the before and after transformation of your skin, after just one treatment! Fine lines and wrinkles begin to soften, and your skin becomes more radiant. The collagen production stimulated by microneedling results in a firmer, more youthful complexion that enhances your natural beauty.

It’s necessary to note that while you may experience immediate results, achieving lasting improvements requires multiple sessions. Your skincare professional will work closely with you to create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.
