Skin Rejuvenation + Scar Treatment

Generally speaking, patients find the treatment very tolerable, especially when a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand. The SkinPen device is designed to move smoothly across the skin, creating micro-channels with minimal discomfort. Patients often describe the sensation as light pressure or a mild prickling feeling rather than true pain. After the procedure, the skin may feel warm or slightly tight for a few hours, but this resolves quickly.

While some improvement can be seen after a single session, most patients achieve their best results with a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced several weeks apart. This schedule allows the skin to rebuild collagen progressively, leading to smoother texture and more even tone with each session.

During the consultation, we will evaluate the patient’s goals and skin condition to recommend the appropriate number of treatments. We take into account factors like scarring severity, age-related changes, and individual healing patterns to ensure the most effective plan.

Initial improvements often appear within one to two weeks as the skin begins to heal and brighten. However, collagen remodeling continues for several months, resulting in steadily improving outcomes over time. Patients often notice ongoing refinement in texture, firmness, and tone as new collagen and elastin develop.

For concerns like acne scars, the most meaningful changes occur after completing a full series of treatments. These gradual, layered improvements help create natural, lasting results that complement the patient’s overall complexion.

Yes, microneedling can be safely combined with other non-surgical treatments to enhance overall improvement. Some patients pair it with vampire facelifts, PRP injections, or fillers to boost collagen production and maximize skin clarity. Combining treatments may also help address multiple concerns, such as pigmentation, texture, and fine lines, simultaneously.

We will always recommend combinations that align with the patient’s goals while protecting the integrity of the skin during healing.

Microneedling is considered very safe when performed by a trained medical professional, but as with any aesthetic procedure, there are some risks. The most common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, and mild sensitivity. In rare cases, patients may experience pinpoint bleeding, prolonged redness, or minor irritation as the skin heals.

We take careful steps to minimize these risks by using sterile equipment, precise technique, and a controlled treatment environment. During your consultation, we will review your medical history and provide guidance to ensure the procedure is appropriate and as safe as possible.
