We can help determine if microneedling is right for you, but generally good candidates are:

• Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing.
• Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic goals in mind.
• Individuals that are bothered by their acne scars, stretch marks or large pores.
• Individuals that have fine lines and wrinkles.

Each year thousands of individuals undergo successful micro-needling treatment, experience no major problems and are happy with the results. Significant complications from micro-needling treatment are extremely rare. However, make sure that you understand what treatment involves, including possible risks and follow-up care. Microneedling treatment poses a few minor risks, including:
• Minimal pain.
• Erythema (superficial reddening of the skin).
• Swelling.
• Warm, tight or itchy skin.
• Minor bleeding like any major procedure, micro-needling poses a risk of bleeding and infection.
• It's also possible to have and allergic reaction to materials used during or after the procedure.

You can help minimize these risks by following the advice and instructions of your doctor, both before and after your procedure. If you have any concerns about the risks involved, please consult your doctor.

It will take a few days for the reddening of the skin to diminish. Because of the duration of the body’s healing process, results and improvement can take several weeks to be seen but will continue to improve for four to six months following your treatments. The first thing people will notice is an improvement in skin turgor and elasticity. Collagen production can take up to three months to occur and can differ depending on the individual. There is no downtime associated with microneedling treatment. Ask your doctor for more information about your individual results and recovery.
