- IS MICRONEEDLING PAINFUL?
Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing mild discomfort during the procedure. Topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand to minimize any potential discomfort.
- HOW MANY SESSIONS OF MICRONEEDLING ARE NEEDED TO SEE RESULTS?
The number of sessions needed varies depending on individual skin concerns, goals and if the treatments are combined with other services such as diamond dermabrasion facials, chemical peels, or Bijoux's regenerative mix. However, for traditional microneedling treatments, most patients require a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
- WHAT SKIN CONCERNS CAN MICRONEEDLING ADDRESS?
Microneedling is effective in addressing various skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin rejuvenation.
- WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME AFTER A MICRONEEDLING SESSION?
The downtime after microneedling is minimal for most patients. You may experience redness, swelling, and mild sensitivity immediately following the treatment, which typically subsides within a few days.
- ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH MICRONEEDLING?
Common side effects of microneedling include temporary redness, swelling, and sensitivity. In rare cases, patients may experience bruising, peeling, or infection, although these risks are minimized with proper technique and aftercare.
- HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS OF MICRONEEDLING LAST?
The results of microneedling are long-lasting, as the treatment stimulates collagen production and skin renewal. However, maintenance treatments may be recommended every 6 to 12 months to sustain optimal results.
- CAN MICRONEEDLING BE COMBINED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Yes, microneedling can be combined with other treatments such as topical serums, PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), chemical peels, diamond dermabrasion, or chemical peels to enhance results and address specific skin concerns.
- IS MICRONEEDLING SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?
Microneedling is generally safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. However, it is essential to consult with a qualified skincare professional to determine if microneedling is suitable for your specific skin concerns and needs.
- WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING A MICRONEEDLING SESSION?
During a microneedling session, a specialized device with fine needles is gently passed over the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. The treatment may cause mild discomfort, but topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand to minimize any discomfort.
