What to Expect During the Microneedling Procedure:
Before undergoing microneedling, you will have a consultation with one of our experienced skincare specialists to discuss your goals, medical history, and treatment options. Your specialist will customize a treatment plan based on your specific skin concerns and desired outcomes.
During the procedure, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. The Morpheus8 device will then be gently passed over the skin, delivering controlled micro-injuries and RF energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin.
Most patients describe the sensation during treatment as a mild tingling or prickling sensation, with minimal discomfort. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes to complete, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
After the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, similar to a sunburn. These side effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days. You can resume your regular activities immediately following the procedure, although it’s essential to avoid direct sun exposure and follow any post-treatment care instructions provided by your specialist.
