Microneedling with SkinPen

The sensation experienced during a Microneedling with SkinPen treatment can best be described as a mild prickling. While some discomfort might be felt, we apply a topical numbing cream to the area before starting the procedure to reduce any potential discomfort. It's important to note that the level of discomfort can vary depending on individual pain tolerance and the specific area being treated.

In most cases, clients find the procedure quite tolerable and any lingering sensation tends to fade soon after treatment. Our aim is always to ensure your comfort throughout your session. We always encourage open communication during your treatment should you feel any unease, so adjustments can be made accordingly.

After undergoing microneedling , it's important to let your skin rest and recover. Therefore, applying makeup isn't recommended for at least 24 hours post-treatment. This pause allows your skin to start its natural healing process without interference from potential irritants found in cosmetics.

As for sun exposure, it's crucial to note that microneedling may increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Consequently, direct sun exposure should be minimized in the first few days following your treatment. When you need to be outside, ensure you're applying a high SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen for protection. This step aids in your post-microneedling care and is also an essential practice for overall skin health.

Yes, indeed! Combining Microneedling with SkinPen with other treatments can offer enhanced results and address multiple skin concerns at once. One such combination is pairing microneedling with Botox injections. This duo not only improves the skin's texture and appearance but also alleviates headaches caused by migraines.

Botox injections work by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where they are injected, effectively providing relief from tension headaches and migraines. When combined with microneedling, a procedure that stimulates natural collagen production in your skin, you're looking at both rejuvenated skin and relief from painful migraines. It's akin to having a mini spa day that comes with health benefits!

Another recommended pairing is having a VI Peel treatment two weeks prior to your SkinPen treatment. The VI Peel works to improve the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin while reducing age spots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation — including melasma. It also softens lines and wrinkles for smoother skin appearance.

After two weeks when your skin has fully recovered from the peel, we then proceed with the SkinPen treatment which further promotes your body’s natural production of collagen for even more radiant youthful-looking skin.

Remember though - it's crucial to have an open discussion during your consultation about all existing treatments you're undergoing or considering. This ensures we can create an effective treatment plan tailored just for you while prioritizing safety above all else.
