Microneedling
Microneedling has become a prevalent worldwide skin procedure.
To target visible pores, dark spots and wrinkles, what’s all the hype about, and what should you consider when choosing where to book? This advanced skin treatment?
Here’s what to expect during a pro microneedling treatment
- Pre-Consultation. Your skin will be examined by a Professional Skin Therapist who will assess appropriateness. For advanced resurfacing, a patch test might be carried out, especially when using a microneedling device. You’ll get guidance on how to prepare your skin for treatment in the most effective way possible.
- Procedure
- Consultation: Safety and suitability of treatment are reassessed, and photos of your skin are taken.
- Prep: After cleaning and analysing your skin, a suitable chemical peel will be applied to remove oil and restore its surface.
- Treatment: To fortify the skin and reduce the appearance of acne scars, PRO Restore is administered twice: once before and once again during the microneedling process. To achieve your skin health objectives, the right needle size and depth are used. Using the unique Dermalogica approach, your Professional Skin Therapist will apply the microneedling instrument to your skin straight, evenly, and for optimal results. After wiping the skin with gauze and sterile saline solution, PRO Restore is applied one last time.
- After Care. Most people don’t need much, if any, downtime. It’s normal to experience some redness for a few days following the operation. The post-procedure instructions, which include when and how to use your PRO Restore and what to avoid for the next 24 to 72 hours, will be reviewed with your Professional Skin Therapist. Within two weeks, the results will be apparent. For best results and skin maintenance, schedule a series of PRO Microneedling sessions four to six weeks apart.
How microneedling works, Everything you need to know.
Microneedling is a cosmetic technique in which the skin is punctured with tiny needles. This produces microscopic holes that are difficult to perceive with the unaided eye, but it can make the skin look better. With needles merely penetrating the epidermis, the therapy is minimally invasive and attempts to promote the body’s healing mechanism. This may result in the synthesis of fresh collagen and elastin, enhancing the skin’s tone, texture, and general look. It restores the skin to its most nourished condition, promotes the healing of wounds, and helps the surrounding healthy tissue to mend the harm.
Dark spots, wrinkles, sagging, and irregularities in texture like acne pitting and stretch marks might all be less noticeable with this restoration process.
You can attain brighter, more evenly toned skin because microneedling successfully targets the melanocytes that cause excess melanin production, as demonstrated by recent studies.

Post-MICRO NEEDLING treatment: decreases side effects
Right after micro needling at 1.25mm
The participant’s entire face underwent a single microneedling procedure. Pro Restore was used on one side of the face three times: once before, once during, and once after microneedling. A standard control hyaluronic acid serum for microneedling was applied to the opposite side of the face.
Common questions about microneedling
All skin types can safely undergo microneedling, but individuals who have a history of eczema, psoriasis, herpes, diabetes, or other chronic illnesses, or who are pregnant, should seek permission from their doctor beforehand.
In some parts of your face, it could be painful. The procedure is somewhat rapid, however, with the advancement of therapy gradually depending on the client’s skin and the microneedling device.
For long-lasting, noticeable benefits with any advanced skin treatment, a course of treatments is advised. Although this will always depend on your particular skin type and goals, a course of three to six microneedling sessions, spaced out every four to six weeks, is generally advised.
There won’t be any significant downtime needed for this minimally invasive procedure. After microneedling, you can feel some slight redness and discomfort for two to three days, but these symptoms will go away fast. As part of your aftercare programme, PRO Restore is offered when you receive Dermalogica’s PRO Microneedling treatment. This sophisticated composition not only helps decrease downtime and skin repair but also improves outcomes after dermatology procedures like microneedling. For your results to be maintained and improved, you must adhere to the after-treatment home care regimen that your expert skin therapist has prescribed.
A roller (for “Dermarolling”) or a stamp studded with small metal spikes of varying lengths can be used as at-home microneedling equipment. Dermatologists concur that you might not get the cutting-edge outcomes from a professional procedure using these. Why? mostly due to the shorter needle depths found in “at-home” devices, which range from 0.1 to 0.3 mm and are primarily intended to improve the absorption of skin-care ingredients rather than produce the “micro-injuries” required for skin remodelling.
Professional Microneedling tools, like the microneedling device, require significant professional skills and training to give safe and effective therapy. These tools use needles that range in size from 0.5mm to 3mm, which puncture the skin at deeper levels. Only a licenced practitioner in a sterile setting should do microneedling.
