Microneedling at Aesthetica Medspa: Everything You Need to Know About This Popular Treatment

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that involves the use of fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, boosting the production of collagen and elastin — essential proteins that help keep your skin smooth, firm, and youthful. It’s an effective treatment for a range of concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Sun damage
• Uneven skin tone and texture

By promoting collagen production, microneedling helps improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity, leading to visibly smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Does Microneedling Hurt?

A common question we hear from clients is, “Does microneedling hurt?” While it’s natural to feel a little apprehensive about needles on your skin, the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Most clients find that microneedling is far less painful than they expected.

At Aesthetica Medspa, we prioritize your comfort. Before beginning the procedure, we apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area. This helps minimize discomfort, so you can relax and enjoy the benefits of the treatment. During the procedure, you might feel a mild prickling or tingling sensation, often compared to the feeling of sandpaper brushing lightly against your skin.

Areas of the face with thinner skin might be slightly more sensitive, but overall, clients report feeling very comfortable throughout the treatment. The microneedling process itself typically takes 20-30 minutes.

What to Expect During and After the Procedure

When you come in for a microneedling treatment at Aesthetica Medspa, here’s what you can expect:

1. Skin Preparation: We begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin to remove any makeup or impurities.
2. Numbing: A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure that you’re comfortable throughout the procedure.
3. Microneedling Treatment: Using the SkinPen, we gently pass the device over your skin, targeting areas of concern. This part of the procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes.
4. Aftercare: After the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red and feel a bit sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. This is completely normal and will subside within 24–48 hours.

We’ll provide you with specific aftercare instructions, such as moisturizing and avoiding direct sun exposure. Following these guidelines will help ensure optimal results and promote the healing process.
