Treatment Details
Composition
The core component of a micro needling device is the needles, which are usually made from stainless steel or titanium. Micro needling itself is a mechanical procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles, so the "composition" of micro needling typically refers to the materials used in the device and the products applied during or after the procedure.
Procedure
The skin is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort. A device with fine needles is used to create micro-injuries in the skin. The depth of the needles can be adjusted depending on the treatment area and the specific skin concerns.
Duration and Frequency
A standard micro needling session for the face typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes. This includes the time needed to prepare the skin, perform the micro needling, and apply any post-procedure treatments. Treating larger areas like the neck, décolletage, or other parts of the body may take 60 to 90 minutes.
Recovery
Right after the procedure, your skin will likely appear red and may feel warm, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Swelling and slight tenderness can also occur, especially in more sensitive areas like the under-eyes or around the mouth. This redness and swelling typically subside within 24 to 48 hours.

FAQs
What is micro needling?
Micro needling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which helps to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and large pores, and enhance overall skin tone.
What skin concerns can micro needling address?
Micro needling is effective for treating a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and overall skin texture and tone.
How long does a micro needling session take?
A typical micro needling session takes about 30 to 60 minutes for the face. The total time, including preparation and post-treatment care, is usually around 60 to 90 minutes. Larger areas, such as the neck or décolletage, may take longer.
Is micro needling painful?
Micro needling can cause some discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated. A topical numbing cream is often applied before the procedure to minimize any pain. Patients typically describe the sensation as a mild prickling or scratching feeling.
How soon will I see results?
You may notice an improvement in skin texture and tone within a few days, but the full results, such as reduced wrinkles and scars, typically develop over several weeks as collagen production increases. The skin continues to improve for up to 6 months after the last treatment.
How long do the results of micro needling last?
The results of micro needling can last several months, depending on your skin’s condition and the number of treatments received. Maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months can help sustain the results.
Can I wear makeup after micro needling?
It’s generally recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after microneedling to allow the skin to heal and prevent irritation. After this initial period, you can typically resume wearing makeup as long as your skin feels comfortable.
Is micro needling safe for all skin types?
Micro needling is safe for most skin types and tones. However, it may not be suitable for those with certain skin conditions like active acne, eczema, or rosacea. It's best to consult with a skincare professional to determine if micro needling is appropriate for your skin.
Are there any side effects or risks?
Microneedling is generally safe, but potential side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, and minor bleeding. Infection and hyperpigmentation are rare but possible. It's important to follow post-treatment care instructions and have the procedure performed by a qualified professional to minimize risks.
