Is micro needling therapy painful?
You will feel many fine needles on your skin area where the nurse is working. Because we are a specialised medical clinic, the treatment can be made even more comfortable with the use of a skin anesthetic and other supportive measures.
How many treatments are required?
Age and skin conditions will determine the number of treatments you may require to achieve the maximum effect. Common skin conditions may require anywhere between 2-6 treatments with a 1 month interval between visits depending on your treatment plan.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
The skin may be pink or appear mild to moderately ‘sunburned’ for the first 24-48 hours after your treatment and it can also feel a little sunburned. There is no downtime associated with treatment. You may want to wear mineral makeup on skin to cover any redness.
You will need to regularly apply sunblock and to take extra care to avoid sun exposure for at least the first week after treatment.
CAN MICRO NEEDLING BE COMBINED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
It is recommended to wait two weeks after micro needling before pursuing other treatments. This will be at the direction of your treatment provider.
For additional benefit use SKIN's collagen induction program, combining micro needling with a chemical peel. Let our team's expert knowledge select a treatment plan that will suit the needs of your skin. Book an appointment with our appearance nurses to find out more.
