Microneedling involves using a specialised roller device with ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-breaks on the area of the skin’s surface being treated. Although the concept of making small tears in the skin may sound painful, while you may still feel a sensation similar to scratching, you shouldn’t experience any actual discomfort.
Commonly used on the face, the treatment is applied to all facial areas, apart from directly onto the eyelids and around the soft tissue under the eyes. The roller is used across the cheeks, side of the temple, chin and forehead. This then stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production, which are crucial for maintaining youthful and healthy-looking skin
For more information about the treatment process, please read our guide on what to expect before, during and after your Microneedling treatment.
Some of the most common reasons people choose Microneedling treatment include improving skin texture and tone, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, addressing hyperpigmentation issues, and much more. This remarkable treatment offers patients a variety of options for skin improvement, however understanding how frequently treatments are needed to maintain results are based on a number of factors.
The nature of your skin concerns plays a significant role in determining the frequency of microneedling. Minor and mild issues, such as general skin rejuvenation, may require fewer sessions, while more pronounced concerns, such as acne scarring or hyperpigmentation, might demand a more frequent approach.
The depth of needle penetration during microneedling varies. Deeper treatments typically yield more dramatic results but require longer intervals for proper healing. Superficial treatments may allow for more frequent sessions.
Different skin types react differently to microneedling. Sensitive skin needs longer intervals to recover between sessions, while less sensitive skin can tolerate more frequent treatments.
Younger individuals tend to have a faster skin cell turnover rate, which might allow them to undergo treatments more often. However, older individuals might require longer intervals to give their skin ample time to rejuvenate.
Everybody is different in many ways, including how our bodies respond to treatment. Your body’s ability to heal and regenerate will also affect your treatment frequency. If you recover quickly, you might be able to have treatments more frequently, however this will cause your results to fade much faster.
While the urge to see fast results might tempt you to schedule microneedling sessions quickly, it’s essential to strike a balance that prioritises your skin’s health first and foremost.
