You can now find out about microneedling benefits for your skin. We provide advanced aesthetic solutions for obtaining young and radiant skin at Prime Med Spa where microneedling stands as one of our leading treatments. The following information contains all you need to know about microneedling procedures from pre-treatment to the treatment period and post-procedure recovery.
What is Microneedling?
Through the process known as collagen induction therapy and microneedling patients undergo minimally invasive treatment which creates small needle holes within their skin surface. Skin injury created by controlled skin damage activates the body’s healing mechanism to stimulate elastin and collagen production which forms the foundation of firm smooth skin.
Microneedling is effective in treating:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Large pores
- Uneven skin tone
- Stretch marks
- Skin texture issues
The following information details your expectations before your appointment at Prime Med Spa.
Before your appointment at Prime Med Spa our licensed aesthetician performs the following procedures:
- Our aesthetician conducts a full consultation to learn about your skin characteristics and treatment objectives as well as your specific skin type.
- The aesthetician will instruct patients to stay away from direct sunlight as well as retinoids and exfoliants during the 48-hour period leading up to the treatment.
- Our practitioner advises patients to prevent taking alcohol or blood-thinning medications because they increase the chance of bruising.
What Happens During the Procedure?
- A single session of microneedling therapy lasts anywhere from thirty to sixty minutes based on the treated area. The following sequence describes the procedure steps:
- A cleaning solution is applied to your skin to remove dirt and impurities.
- A numbing agent will be applied as a cream to reduce any potential discomfort.
- The specialist uses a pen tool to glide over your skin area as they create micro-injuries during the treatment process.
- Our team applies nourishing serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) following the needling procedure for enhanced healing results.
- The mild discomfort from the procedure becomes barely noticeable due to the numbing cream applied during the procedure.
What to Expect After Microneedling
Your skin will appear and feel like sunburned skin right after treatment because it will be red and sensitive. The following general timeline shows how you should expect to feel after treatment.
Day 1–2:
- Redness and mild swelling
- Possible pinpoint bleeding (rare)
- Tightness or dryness
Day 3–5:
- Flaking or peeling may occur
- Skin begins to heal and glow
Day 6–7:
Visible improvement in texture and tone
Most side effects subside
Aftercare Tips
To get the most out of your microneedling session:
- Use a gentle non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain skin hydration
- Use SPF 30+ sunscreen protection whenever you are outdoors
- Active ingredients such as retinol as well as exfoliation must be avoided for a minimum of five to seven days.
- The skin should remain without makeup for 24–48 hours.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
A single microneedling session can provide immediate results to many patients but several treatments performed 4-6 weeks apart usually lead to the best results. Our team at Prime Med Spa will develop a specific treatment plan that matches the needs of your skin.
