During a microneedling treatment, a specially designed device with fine needles is used to create controlled micro-perforations to the skin's surface. These micro-perforations trigger the body's natural healing process, which leads to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. As the skin heals, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in texture and tone.

Microneedling is appropriate for most skin types and can address a variety of skincare concerns. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions or medical histories. It's essential to consult with one of our qualified medical professionals to determine if microneedling is right for you.

Microneedling offers a range of benefits, including reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, improvement in skin texture and tone, minimization of acne scars and other types of scarring, reduction of pore size, and enhancement of the skin's overall appearance and radiance.

Discomfort during microneedling treatments is typically minimal and can vary depending on individual pain tolerance and the depth of needle penetration. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or pricking feeling. Topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area before the procedure to minimize discomfort.

The duration of a microneedling session typically ranges from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the specific concerns being addressed.

The number of microneedling sessions needed to achieve desired results can vary depending on individual skin concerns and treatment goals. Typically, 3-4 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments may also be necessary to sustain the benefits of microneedling over time.

Mild redness and swelling are common side effects immediately following a microneedling treatment, but these typically subside within a few days. Some patients may experience slight pinpoint bleeding or bruising, which resolves quickly. Many patients relate downtime to a mild sunburn appearance. Most individuals can resume their regular activities immediately after treatment, although it's essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your Regen Wellness medical professional.

The longevity of microneedling results can vary depending on individual factors such as age, skin type, and lifestyle habits. Generally, patients can expect to see noticeable improvements in their skin's appearance and texture for several months following a series of microneedling sessions. To maintain results, periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended.

Microneedling is considered a safe and minimally invasive procedure when performed by a trained Regen Wellness professional. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, there are potential risks and side effects, including redness, swelling, bruising, infection, and pigment changes. These risks can be minimized by following pre- and post-treatment care instructions provided by your Regen Wellness medical professional.

Yes, microneedling can be combined with other treatments such as plasma-serum boosts and/or topical skincare products to enhance results. Your Regen Wellness professional can recommend the most effective combination of treatments based on your individual needs and goals.
