Thinking about getting microneedling done but unsure of what to expect? This is your comprehensive guide from the consultation through to beauty results.
Your Initial Consultation
Step 1: Skin Analysis – This is the beginning of your journey. Your dermatologist will address your skin concerns, discuss the results you want to achieve and evaluate whether needling is suitable for your type of skin. They will explain the process, answer all of your questions and formulate a unique treatment plan.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Stop using retinoids, exfoliating acids and sun bathing a few days prior to treatment. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. The area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream applied to make the process painless.

During Treatment
The process itself takes 30-60 minutes. During treatment, you will experience mild scratching as the microneedling pen makes small incisions in your skin. The cream is so good that most clients find it surprisingly comfortable.
Immediate Aftermath
Your skin will be slightly red, as if you got a gentle sunburn but that is totally fine. You may have some minor swelling and soreness for the first 24 to 48 hours. All treatments come with calming serums, and comprehensive post-treatment instructions are provided by your practitioner.
The Healing Process
Days 1-3: Redness gradually fades
Days 4-7: Slight exfoliation (peeling/ flaking)
Week 2-4 : Skin starts to glow brighter and feels smoother
Months 2–3: You see the best results
Your Results
Skin texture, fine lines and overall radiance improvement are typically noticed in the majority of patients. For more serious concerns, such as acne scarring if you are looking for results then 3-6 sessions (approx every four to six weeks) is the optimal treatment outcome.
