Microneedling Treatment FAQ

 

How does Microneedling work?

Micro-Needling is a skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a pen shaped device containing very fine needles. It promotes a process of new skin growth through the science of Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), and the needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled slight injury to the skin, and each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds, and causes the face to repair itself by producing new collagen-rich tissue. As the treated area heals, smoother, more even, healthier-looking skin appears. It can improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, stimulating tissue regeneration, improve the appearance of acne and traumatic scars and stretch marks, and reducing the size of pores.

What to expect from Microneedling treatment?

At Ease Medspa, before the procedure, our technician will apply a numbing topical about 30 minutes prior to treatment to ensure a near painless and comfortable experience. After a preparation including cleansing the skin, our microneedling procedure combined with the stem cell-based serums creates a new paradigm for advanced scientific skincare and rejuvenation. While receiving treatment you may feel pressure and a vibrating sensation. The treatment concludes with a serum or calming treatment to help your skin heal. Immediately after treatment, you will feel like you have a moderate to severe sunburn and your skin may feel warm and tighter than usual. This is normal and will usually subside within 1 to 2 hours and will normally recover within 24-48 hours.

​

Are there any risks or side effects?

The most common side effect is minor skin irritation immediately following the procedure, you may also see redness for a few days. Clients generally recover fully from the procedure in just 48 hours.

​

Who can be benefit from Microneedling treatment?
