Frequently Asked Questions

What Can I Expect on the Day of the Procedure?

Prior to the treatment, a topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. The procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Post-treatment, you may experience redness and slight swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a few days.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

For optimal results, a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended. Maintenance treatments may be suggested based on individual skin goals.

Is My Skin Type Suitable for Skin Needling?

Skin Needling is suitable for most skin types and tones. However, individuals with active acne, certain skin conditions, or those who are pregnant should consult with a skincare professional to determine if this treatment is appropriate.

What Kind of Post Procedure Care Is Required?
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen regularly.
  • Refrain from using active skincare products, such as retinoids or exfoliants, for a few days post-treatment.
  • Keep the skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer.
  • Avoid strenuous activities that cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours.
Is There Any Downtime?

One of the key benefits of Skin Needling is its minimal downtime compared to more invasive treatments. Most clients experience mild redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn immediately after the procedure. These effects typically subside within 24 to 48 hours.

In some cases, light peeling or flaking may occur a few days post-treatment as the skin regenerates. This is a normal part of the healing process and usually resolves within a week. Most clients can resume normal activities the next day but should follow post-care instructions, including avoiding direct sun exposure and applying a gentle moisturizer.

For best results, it’s recommended to schedule treatments when you can allow your skin a few days to fully recover.
