Is microneedling painful?

Microneedling involves some discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated. A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize pain, making the sensation more like a light sandpaper moving across the skin.

How often should you get microneedling?

The frequency of microneedling sessions can vary depending on your skin condition and the desired results, but typically, treatments are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. For ongoing skin rejuvenation, many opt for maintenance treatments every few months after the initial series.

Can I wear makeup after microneedling?

Avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours after a microneedling session is recommended to allow your skin to heal and prevent any risk of infection or irritation.

What should I avoid after microneedling?

Post-treatment, you should avoid sun exposure, swimming, and strenuous exercise for the first 24-48 hours. Also, avoid skincare products containing alcohol, retinoids, or exfoliating agents during the initial healing phase.
