The Science

How Microneedling Heals Your Skin

Understanding the 3-phase healing response that makes microneedling so effective.

1
Days 1–2

Phase 1: Inflammation

Micro-injuries signal your immune system. Growth factors flood the treatment area. The wound healing cascade begins.

2
Days 3–14

Phase 2: Proliferation

Fibroblasts activate and synthesize new collagen and elastin. Your skin physically rebuilds itself with fresh, healthy tissue.

3
Weeks 3–24

Phase 3: Remodeling

New collagen matures and reorganizes. Results continue improving for up to 6 months after treatment.

FAQ

Microneedling Questions

Does microneedling hurt?

A topical numbing cream is applied 30 minutes before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure and warmth — not painful. Discomfort is minimal.

When will I see results?

Many patients notice improved skin texture and tone after their first session. More dramatic improvements in acne scars and wrinkles become visible after the 2nd and 3rd sessions, with continued improvement for up to 6 months.

How long do results last?

Results from a 3-session series typically last 1–2 years. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months sustain and build on your results.

Can I wear makeup afterward?

Avoid makeup for 24–48 hours post-treatment. Your skin needs to breathe and recover without occlusive products during the early inflammation phase.
