What to Expect During Microneedling Treatment

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment used to diminish the appearance of scarring, wrinkles, and other facial flaws. It uses tiny needles to prick the skin. This prompts the body to produce more collagen tissue, thus helping to rejuvenate your skin’s appearance.

The first step after you arrive at your dermatologist’s office will be to cleanse your skin, removing any makeup, oil, and debris. Next, a topical numbing treatment will be applied to the skin, which will reduce any feelings of discomfort during the procedure. Once the numbing treatment has taken effect, a dermaroller will be used to gently pierce the skin. Immediately after the procedure, your skin may appear red, and you should avoid wearing makeup to allow your skin time to heal.
