Your Destination for  the best Skin Needling Teatment in Perth

The duration of a skin needling (microneedling) treatment can vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the specific concerns being addressed. On average, the procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Here's a breakdown of the process:

• Preparation: The first 20-30 minutes are typically spent applying a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure you're comfortable during the procedure.

• Microneedling Treatment: The actual microneedling process usually takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the area being treated (e.g., face, neck, or larger body areas).

• Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, the practitioner will likely apply soothing serums or a calming mask, which may add another 10-15 minutes to the total time.

Overall, plan for approximately 1 hour for a typical microneedling session, though it can be shorter or longer depending on individual factors.

Your practitioner will always give you an estimated timeframe based on your specific treatment plan.

After microneedling, your skin is more sensitive and can be a bit irritated, so it’s important to follow proper aftercare to ensure optimal healing and results. Here’s what you should apply after the procedure:

1. Soothing Serums or Hyaluronic Acid

• Why: Hyaluronic acid helps hydrate and plump the skin, which is essential after microneedling, as it can feel dry or tight.

• When: Immediately after the procedure, when your skin is still healing micro-channels.

• What to Use: A gentle, fragrance-free serum that contains hyaluronic acid or other hydrating ingredients.

2. Post-Treatment Calming Cream

• Why: These creams are specifically formulated to calm irritation and reduce redness after the treatment.

• When: You can apply this after your microneedling session and throughout the first few days of recovery.

• What to Use: Look for products that contain calming ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, or centella asiatica (cica). These help soothe the skin and promote healing.

3. Moisturizer

• Why: Moisturizing is key to keeping the skin hydrated and supporting the skin's natural healing process.

• When: Apply twice a day, after cleansing and before sunscreen, for the first few days.

• What to Use: A gentle, hydrating, and fragrance-free moisturizer.

4. SPF 30 or Higher

• Why: Your skin is especially sensitive to the sun after microneedling, and UV exposure can cause pigmentation or further irritation. Sunscreen is crucial to protect the skin while it heals.

• When: Apply daily for at least a week (or longer, depending on your practitioner’s recommendations).

• What to Use: A broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Ensure it is non-comedogenic and suitable for sensitive skin.

5. Anti-Inflammatory Serum (Optional)

• Why: In the first 24-48 hours, your skin may experience some inflammation or redness. An anti-inflammatory serum can help reduce these effects.

• When: As recommended by your practitioner, typically in the initial recovery phase.

• What to Use: Look for products with ingredients like niacinamide, which can help calm inflammation.

• ​

What to avoid post-treatment:

• Exfoliants and Active Ingredients: Avoid using products with active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acid, or vitamin C for at least 48-72 hours after microneedling.

• Makeup: Avoid wearing makeup for the first 24 hours to allow the microchannels to heal.

• Hot Showers, Saunas, or Excessive Sweating: These can irritate the skin or increase the risk of infection in the first 24-48 hours.

Always follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner for the best results and to ensure proper healing.
