What To Expect
During your Microneedling treatment, you can expect a professional and comfortable experience:
Initial Consultation: We will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.
Numbing: A topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Treatment Process: The Microneedling device features tiny needles that create micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates your natural skin healing process to produce collagen and promote skin renewal. During the treatment, you might feel a slight prickling sensation, but the topical numbing cream applied prior to the treatment will help to reduce any discomfort.
Duration: Each session typically lasts between 30-45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
How To Prepare
To ensure your Microneedling Treatment is most effective and safe, there are some guidelines prior to your appointment to follow.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning for at least two weeks prior to your treatment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from UV damage.
Discontinue Certain Products: Stop using retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other exfoliating products at least 3-5 days before treatment.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin well-hydrated.
Avoid Blood Thinners: Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E, as they can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. Consult your doctor before stopping any prescribed medications.
Abstain from Hair Removal Treatments: Do not wax, use depilatory creams, or have Laser Hair Removal on the treatment area for at least one week before the procedure.
Aftercare
Proper aftercare is crucial to maximize the benefits of your Microneedling treatment and to ensure a safe and quick recovery.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Keep the treated area out of direct sunlight and use a high SPF sunscreen to protect your skin.
Keep It Clean: Gently cleanse the area with a mild soap and water, avoiding any harsh scrubbing.
Moisturize: Apply a recommended soothing ointment or moisturizer to keep the area hydrated.
Avoid Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup to the treated area until fully healed.
Abstain from Strenuous Activity: Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot baths, which can exacerbate redness and swelling.
Follow-Up Appointments: Stay consistent by ensuring you schedule follow-up appointments in a timely manner to ensure the best results.

FAQs
Read answers to common questions about our aesthetic and wellness treatments.
Can I combine Microneedling with other treatments?
Yes, Microneedling can be combined with other treatments, such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or Laser Treatments, to achieve better results. During your initial consultation, our staff at Seamless Health can recommend the best combination of treatments based on your skin concerns and goals.
Is Microneedling suitable for all skin types?
Yes, Microneedling is generally suitable and safe for all skin types and tones. We use the advanced technology of the Eclipse MicroPen® to ensure the delivery of a safe, effective treatment.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements in skin texture and tone can often be seen within a few days to a week. However, since collagen production takes time, the most significant results will become visible over the next several weeks to months. Multiple treatment sessions will enhance the overall outcome.
What is the downtime for Microneedling?
After the treatment, you can expect redness, swelling, and a mild sunburn-like sensation, which typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Your skin may also peel and flake as it heals. It is important to follow post-treatment care instructions, which include avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and keeping the skin hydrated and clean.
What should I expect during a Microneedling treatment?
During the treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to your skin to minimize discomfort. Our staff will then use our Microneedling device to gently create tiny punctures in the skin. The procedure usually takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. You may feel a slight prickling sensation, but the numbing cream helps to reduce discomfort.
What skin concerns can Microneedling address?
Microneedling tackles various skin concerns such as minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, decreasing acne scars, improving hyperpigmentation and sun damage, decreasing the size of enlarged pores, improving the look of stretch marks, and enhancing skin texture and tone.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies based on each individual’s skin concerns and treatment goals. Generally, a series of 3-6 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. A personalized treatment plan will be created for you by our team of experts during your consultation.
