Undergoing a microneedling treatment can be a worthwhile experience for achieving healthier, more youthful skin. Here’s what you can typically expect during and after your Microneedling at Réforme Dermatology and Aesthetics:
During the Treatment
Before beginning microneedling, the skin must be thoroughly cleansed to remove any impurities, oils, or makeup. After that, a topical numbing cream is applied to reduce any pain. Your dermatologist will then use a specialized microneedling device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The practitioner glides the device over the treatment area, carefully adjusting the needle depth based on the specific skin concerns being addressed.
Once the microneedling is complete, a soothing serum or hydrating mask is often applied to help calm the skin and promote healing. The tiny punctures make the skin more receptive to these topical treatments, enhancing their effectiveness.
After the Treatment
You might experience redness and minor swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. It’s essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional. This usually includes avoiding direct sun exposure, skipping makeup for at least 24 hours, and using gentle, hydrating skincare products to support healing.
Over the next few weeks, your skin’s natural healing process will kick in, stimulating collagen and elastin production. You’ll start to notice improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. For optimal results, multiple microneedling sessions are often recommended, spaced a few weeks apart. Each session builds on the previous one, enhancing the cumulative benefits of the treatment.
