Microneedling: Process & Results
At Gloss Beauty, microneedling is performed in a sterilized setting by a trained professional. The procedure involves the following steps:
Cleansing: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils.
Numbing Cream: A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Microneedling: The microneedling device is gently passed over the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. The depth and intensity of the treatment can be adjusted based on the individual's specific skin concerns.
Post-Treatment Care: After microneedling, the skin may appear slightly red and feel sensitive. Post-treatment care typically includes the application of soothing serums and the use of sunscreen to protect the skin.
Results and Recovery
Patients may experience some redness, swelling, and minor discomfort immediately after microneedling, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. Most people can return to their regular activities shortly after the procedure. Visible improvements in the skin's texture and tone can be seen within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months as collagen production continues.
