How does the microneedling treatment proceed?

SarasinClinic microneedling penBy now you know that microneedling significantly improves the skin texture of the area to be treated. But how does the treatment work now? Can you enjoy immediate results? What does the treatment plan look like? We'd like to explain that to you here.

Precaution

  • For skin rejuvenation, you need time, but you especially need collagen. To stimulate your skin's collagen production properly and at a high rate, we give you collagen supplements . You take these at least 4 weeks before the treatment and up to 3 months afterwards.
  • The sun can cause serious damage to the skin. Therefore, we recommend avoiding the sun, fake tanning and solarium for 2 weeks before treatment. It is also better to use a high SPF when you leave the house.
  • Do you suffer from cold sores? Then you better take Aciclovir 200 mg 3 times a day, and preferably for at least 4 days before your session.

During treatment

  • When you come into our office, we first make sure the skin is cleansed and we apply an numbing cream application, which will take effect for a while. This will minimize any discomfort. Then we get to work with our toolsA microneedling device consists of a number of activated' fine needles which pass over the skin in rotary movements. The needles create tiny holes or microchannels in the skin, which stimulates the skin's collagen production.
  • Once the skin is perforated, we send the RF or radio frequency through the microchannels. This heats up the dermis layer of the skin so that it produces more collagen and elastin. The structure of the skin will change: your skin becomes tighter and your wrinkles largely disappear. As a result, we speak of a younger skin.

Aftercare

  • The collagen supplements you will continue to take for 3 months after treatment. Up to 3 days after the treatment, you will also need to apply an antibiotic ointment to counteract any inflammation or complications.
  • Even after our treatment, direct exposure to the sun remains a culprit. Therefore, in both summer and winter, try SPF 50 so that the effect of the treatment can last longer.
  • For 2 days after the treatment it is best not swim or do heavy exercises do. Also make-up is also best left out for about three days.

Pros and cons

Meanwhile, you have a good idea of what the treatment looks like. However, it is also important to know the pros and cons of microneedling. We keep it real: we'll tell you exactly what you want to know.

Benefits of microneedling

During the treatment, a revolutionary method is used that will tighten. This treatment will address your appearance in a much more intense way than a serum of hyaluronic acid could ever do. So this treatment has a lot of benefits!

Disadvantages of microneedling

  • Of course, an important part of this treatment involves making holes in the skin with fine needles made of surgical steel. These microchannels remain open for about 4 to 6 hours, making it important to apply antibiotic ointment. 
  • Just after treatment, it is also possible that the skin may look slightly swollen look and you may experience some redness. This is a normal process that will disappear again after a few hours. After 2 weeks you can really see the results of the treatment, which will only increase for the next 3 months while stimulating the production of collagen.
  • For best results, it is better to undergo a series of treatments: we recommend a package of 5 treatments, but certainly a minimum of 3. After that you can come back for maintenance whenever you want, although a minimum of 2 times a year is advised.
  • That microneedling is safe and delivers results is obvious by now. Would you also like to enjoy younger looking skin? Then make an appointment at Sarasin!
