Maximize Microneedling Results
Love microneedling? We do, too! And if you haven’t tried this popular treatment, it might be time to join the club.
This easy in-and-out treatment leverages the power of your body’s natural healing processes to promote collagen production, improve skin texture, and address a variety of concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars and uneven skin tone.
But even though microneedling is minimally invasive and affordable, of course, everyone wants to make sure they are getting the best possible results. If you’re considering microneedling or have already undergone treatment, here’s what you need to know to maximize your results and enjoy healthier, better-looking skin.
The Microneedling Process
Professional microneedling involves using a highly specialized device that introduces fine, sterile needles to the skin in order to create controlled micro-injuries. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s wound-healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that keep skin firm and smooth.
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling is a simple concept, but by tapping into the skin’s healing processes, it can make surprising differences, including:
- Reducing lines and wrinkles
- Shrinking pores
- Evening skin tone
- Improving acne
- Fading scars
- Treating sun damage and discoloration
Tips to Maximize Your Microneedling Results
To get the most out of your microneedling treatment, follow these expert tips.
Choose a Qualified Provider
Microneedling should only be performed by a licensed and experienced professional to ensure safety, efficacy, and optimal results. Look for a provider with several years of experience and positive patient reviews. Never attempt microneedling on your own.
Add Radiofrequency
Microneedling alone can only achieve so much. My choosing Morpheus 8 microneedling plus radiofrequency, you can truly maximize your results. Radiofrequency energy penetrates even deeper into the skin to boost microneedling results and improve outcomes.
Follow Pre and Post Treatment Instructions
We will give you specific instructions to prepare for your microneedling session and for how to care for skin following your proceedure, such as avoiding certain medications or skincare products. Adhering to your pre and post treatment instructions can help reduce the risk of complications and enhance your results.
Be Consistent with Treatments
While you will likely notice improvements after a single microneedling session, most people require a series of treatments to achieve their desired outcomes. Stick to the treatment plan recommended by your provider, which typically involves three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
Protect Your Skin From the Sun
After microneedling, your skin will be more sensitive than usual, particularly to UV damage. Protect it by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, and limit sun exposure, especially during peak hours.
Avoid Sweating
After your microneedling procedure, you will want to let your skin rest. Avoid strenuous exercise that causes you to sweat as it can open pores and stress skin. Hot showers, baths, and steam rooms are also a no-no for a few days after your procedure.
Be Gentle with Post-Treatment Skincare
You may use a gentle cleanser to wash 24 hours after treatment. However, do not exfoliate skin or use harsh cleansers or products for several days after your microneedling session. In addition, you should also avoid applying makeup or serums that you have not discussed with your provider, as they can irritate skin. Talk to your provider about when to reintroduce moisturizer and makeup after treatment.
Don’t Take Blood-Thinning Medications
Choose a painkiller with acetaminophen instead of aspirin, ibuprofen, or other NSAIDs. These medications can interfere with the healing process and hinder your microneedling results.
Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
A healthy diet, regular exercise routine, and getting sufficient sleep can all help promote healthier skin in the long term. Choosing whole foods, staying hydrated, and managing stress can help support your skin’s natural healing processes and maintain the results of your microneedling treatment.
