During a treatment, your skin is cleansed and then a strong topical numbing cream is applied for 20-25 minutes. The Skin Pen is used to treat the areas of concern. Immediately after needling a low percentage TCA cream mask is applied for four minutes which reduces bacteria and increases exfoliation.

How many treatments do you need?
The number of recommended treatments varies depending on the condition. For scarring 6-8 treatments (two weeks apart) are ideal. It takes more than one treatment to begin to notice the difference in your skin. For general skin improvements 4 -5 treatments are recommended. Most treatments take 1 hour.
What can I do to get the best results from microneedling?
Using quality skin care products will improve overall treatment. Vitamin A is fuel to make collagen/elastin, vitamin C is essential for the production of normal collagen. Using SPF will also reduce further damage from light exposure.
How long will Microneedling results last?
Microneedling will not remove scars entirely but typically improves scaring, the scar tissue will not return to what it was before the procedures meaning the improvement you see will remain. For lines and aging the results will last between four to six weeks for most people.
