How many microneedling sessions will I need?

For general skin rejuvenation and fine line improvement, 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is a typical starting course. For deeper scarring or more significant texture concerns, 4–6 sessions may be recommended. Results accumulate with each session as new collagen production builds.

What is the downtime after microneedling?

Standard microneedling involves 24–48 hours of redness, similar in appearance to a moderate sunburn. The skin may feel tight and begin to flake or peel over days 2–4. Most clients are comfortable returning to social settings within 2–3 days, though some redness can persist for 5–7 days after deeper treatments.

What is the difference between standard microneedling and PRP microneedling?

Standard microneedling uses the micro-channels created by the needles to enhance product penetration and trigger collagen. PRP microneedling adds platelet-rich plasma — a concentration of your own growth factors drawn from a blood sample — into the micro-channels. This significantly amplifies the healing and collagen response, making it particularly effective for scarring, dullness, and accelerated rejuvenation.

Q: Is microneedling painful?

A topical numbing cream is applied for 30–45 minutes before treatment. With adequate numbing, most clients describe microneedling as a scratching or vibrating sensation rather than pain. More sensitive areas such as the forehead or around the nose may feel more intense.

Q: Can microneedling treat acne scars?

Yes. Microneedling is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for atrophic (depressed) acne scarring. The collagen remodelling process gradually fills and smooths depressed scars over time. Multiple sessions are typically required, and combining microneedling with PRP or RF energy accelerates results.

Common Questions

How many sessions will I need? add

For general rejuvenation, 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For deeper scarring, 4–6 sessions. Results accumulate as new collagen builds.

24–48 hours of redness, similar to moderate sunburn. Skin may feel tight and flake over days 2–4. Most clients return to social settings within 2–3 days. Deeper protocols may involve 5–7 days of visible renewal.

What is the difference between PRP and standard microneedling? add

Standard microneedling uses hyaluronic acid and serums. PRP adds platelet-rich plasma — your own growth factors drawn from a small blood sample — into the micro-channels, significantly amplifying the collagen response. Particularly effective for scarring and accelerated rejuvenation.

Is microneedling painful? add

Topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before treatment. Most clients describe a scratching or vibrating sensation rather than pain. The forehead and nose area may feel more intense.

Can microneedling treat acne scars? add

Yes. One of the most effective non-surgical treatments for depressed acne scarring. Collagen remodelling gradually fills and smooths scars over successive sessions. Combining with PRP or RF energy accelerates results.

What should I expect during a session? add

Skin assessment, then numbing cream for 30–45 minutes while your skin is prepped. For PRP, a small blood draw happens during this time. The device passes across your skin in systematic zones, depth adjusted per area, with serums or PRP applied during needling. LED light therapy may follow. Full appointment: 60–90 minutes.
