Full Face Protocol
1. What exactly is microneedling and how does it support my skin?
Microneedling is a professional aesthetic treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create micro-channels in the skin's surface. This precise process encourages your body's natural renewal cascade, supporting the production of collagen and elastin for a firmer, smoother, and more refined appearance.
2. Is the SkinPen device safe for all skin types?
Yes, the SkinPen is an FDA-cleared device that is generally safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Because it relies on mechanical stimulation rather than heat or harsh chemicals, it is a versatile option for supporting overall skin quality.
3. How long does a typical microneedling session take?
A standard microneedling session for the face typically takes about 60 minutes. This includes time for a thorough consultation, the application of a topical numbing cream for your comfort, and the treatment itself.
4. Will the treatment be uncomfortable?
We prioritize your comfort throughout the entire process. A professional-grade topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure begins, which significantly minimizes any discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a light vibration or a mild scratching feeling.
5. What should I expect my skin to look like immediately after?
Immediately following the treatment, it is normal for your skin to appear flushed or red, similar to a mild sunburn. This redness is a natural part of the renewal process and typically subsides within 24 to 72 hours.
6. When will I start seeing the results of my treatment?
While you may notice a subtle glow and improved texture within a week, the most significant structural improvements develop gradually over 4 to 6 weeks as your skin's natural renewal process continues to support collagen production.
7. How many sessions are recommended for the best outcome?
While a single session provides a beautiful refresh, we generally recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal structural support and long-lasting texture refinement. Your provider will help map out a customized timeline based on your specific aesthetic goals.
8. Can I wear makeup after my microneedling session?
To protect your skin's barrier while it begins the renewal process, we require that you avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours following your treatment. Once the initial 24 hours have passed, you may resume wearing makeup, provided your skin is no longer feeling sensitive.
9. Are there any specific aftercare products I should use?
Yes, your provider will recommend a curated selection of gentle, hydrating products to support your skin's barrier during the initial recovery phase. It is crucial to avoid harsh active ingredients like retinoids or exfoliating acids for at least 72 hours post-treatment.
10. Why might I choose to add Exosomes to my microneedling treatment?
Exosomes are advanced topical serums that contain powerful growth factors and supportive proteins. When applied during a microneedling session, they penetrate the micro-channels to provide enhanced cellular support, potentially accelerating the renewal process and maximizing your overall aesthetic outcomes.
