How Long Does Microneedling Last?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, has gained popularity for being a minimally invasive treatment for improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity. At YouthBar, an elevated med spa experience in Boulder, CO, we offer SkinPen microneedling treatments to restore your youthful glow and invest in your skin’s overall health. But a common question our clients often have is, "How long does microneedling last?" Let's dive into the process of microneedling and explore how long a session lasts.
Understanding Microneedling
Microneedling involves the use of a device equipped with fine needles that create micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These controlled injuries stimulate the body's natural healing process, triggering the production of collagen and elastin which are essential proteins responsible for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
The Microneedling Process
Consultation: Before your microneedling appointment, one of our expert medical professionals will meet with you in a comprehensive consultation to assess your skin concerns and discuss our SkinPen options. We offer both a standard Microneedling session and a Microneedling Glow Up option, which combines the power of microneedling with an additional formulation of Botox, Sculptra, and dermal filler.
Preparation: Before your procedure, a numbing agent is applied to minimize discomfort. The targeted area is thoroughly cleansed to ensure optimal results. We will talk you through each step to keep you informed and ensure your utmost comfort.
Microneedling Treatment: During the treatment itself, our skilled aestheticians use the FDA-approved SkinPen device to perform the microneedling procedure. The device is gently glided across your skin to create controlled micro-injuries.
Post-Treatment Care: After microneedling, you may experience mild redness and swelling that feels similar to a sunburn. But not to worry: downtime is minimal and most people can resume their regular activities shortly after their treatment.
Longevity of Results
Microneedling is renowned for its ability to deliver long-lasting improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. While individual experiences may vary, the results of microneedling treatments are typically enduring and can be maintained with proper skincare practices.
After completing a series of microneedling sessions, our clients enjoy noticeable enhancements in their skin's texture and firmness. Fine lines and wrinkles may appear diminished, while acne scars and hyperpigmentation gradually fade over time. It takes a little time, but after the collagen and elastin production is triggered by the microneedling process, it continues to enhance your skin quality in the weeks and months following treatment.
Many of our clients have said that the benefits of microneedling can last for months, with some still experiencing the benefits for up to a year or more. However, to preserve the longevity of your results and ensure your skin’s ongoing glow, we highly recommend maintenance treatments scheduled three to four times per year.
