Microneedling Before and After: What to Expect
MIcroneedling is a popular treatment that comes with plenty of benefits. Although somewhat considered unconventional, this procedure has been proven to deliver effective results.
While the process itself may not be a treat for the eyes, there will be a visible difference once your skin heals days after the treatment.
Because of the nature of the procedure, microneedling must only be done with expert precision. Professional beauty studios such as Aloe Beauty provide an effective and safe microneedling treatment in Scottsdale done by trained and experienced specialists.
The Microneedling Rundown: Before and After
First, What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a type of facial treatment where the skin is penetrated by an FDA-approved medical-grade pen, such as the SkinStylus, to help the skin generate more collagen. This process helps speed up the skin’s natural process to heal and rejuvenate itself, which is why it is an effective treatment for acne scarring, skin hyperpigmentation, and reducing signs of aging.
The process involves making tiny punctures on the skin, which is a delicate procedure best done by a professional. DIY microneedling is discouraged because of the risk of damaging your skin.
What to Expect (Before)
If you have been curious about what the procedure entails, you may have already come across some unsightly images.
To better manage your expectations, it is important to know that the procedure itself causes little to no discomfort to many of our clients. We are experienced and provide our best services to make sure every person gets a nice day at the spa.
That said, note that it is normal for clients to bleed or appear to have some scarring in a microneedling treatment.
The blood is cleaned up as the procedure goes on and the scar-like appearances don’t make any permanent marks on the face. The pen’s needles are single-use and replaced with every patient.
This procedure may take up to 60 minutes.
What to Expect (After)
The great thing about microneedling treatments is that you don’t have to take downtime to recover. As long as you follow the proper aftercare guide provided by your specialist, your skin would feel the difference in no time.
The healing process is similar to healing from sunburn. Expect some skin peeling or redness for the first few days. Makeup is not recommended within 24 hours, but after that, you are free to use mineral-based makeup.
People that come in for acne scarring may expect a smoother skin surface and fewer bumps. Clients concerned with age management will see a difference in their skin elasticity. For longer-lasting results, 3 to 4 sessions are recommended spaced out between 3 to 4 weeks.
