What to Expect

    Before

    A nurse will start by taking your Visia picture to get a baseline and assess your skin’s progress. We will then cleanse your face to prepare for your treatment and apply anesthetic.

    During

    Once you are ready, the anesthetic will be removed and your skin will be cleansed again prior to your treatment. Your skin care provider will determine the appropriate treatment depth based on your needs, and after a thin layer of serum is applied to your skin, the microneedling pen is gently glided across your skin. This results in thousands of microscopic channels throughout the entire treatment area. The repair process, or collagen induction therapy, begins almost immediately as fibroblasts start synthesizing new collagen.

    After

    Your skin may be pink and there may be a small amount of pinpoint bleeding. The pinkness and bleeding will fade quickly and usually resolves within a few hours to a couple days. It is important not to apply anything other than what is recommended to the treated skin, especially for the first 12-24 hours, since the micro-injuries need time to heal. You can wash your face 12 hours after the procedure and we encourage you to use mineral-based makeup since this is healthier for the skin.
