Microneedling Reno NV

Q: What does your face look like after Microneedling?

Immediately after microneedling, your face may appear red and slightly swollen, resembling a mild sunburn. This redness usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the intensity of the treatment.

Q: How long does microneedling last?

The collagen that is stimulated with microneedling is permanently yours. The collagen you gain from this procedure builds on the collagen you already have. You are losing collagen every year as you age, so most people like to maintain this collagen stimulation about every three to six months.

Q: How painful is microneedling?

Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, but the level of discomfort can vary from person to person. A topical numbing cream is usually applied before the procedure to minimize pain.

Q: Does microneedling look bad at first?

Microneedling may cause your skin to look red and slightly swollen immediately after the procedure, which can be concerning. This post-treatment reaction is normal and usually resembles mild to moderate sunburn.

Q: Does microneedling tighten skin?

The tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing process. This leads to increased collagen and elastin, which can improve skin elasticity and firmness over time, resulting in a tighter and more youthful appearance.

What is Microneedling?

At Janiga MDs, we offer microneedling treatments with the most reputable and effective DermaPen technology which uses small needles to make microscopic channels into the epidermis and the top portion of the dermis. The depth of the needle penetration can be tailored for patient comfort and recovery requirements. The tiny channels placed in the skin stimulate collagen, smooth fine lines, improve texture, and even improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

The Procedure

For microneedling treatments, we apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area for a few minutes in order to improve comfort during the procedure. After you are sufficiently numb, the numbing medication is removed, and the skin is cleansed quickly with an antiseptic to remove any debris or bacteria prior to the treatment. Next, we will pass the microneedling tip over the face. All in all, the treatment takes less than an hour and you can return to your regular activities immediately afterwards. Microneedling is not sun sensitizing, so it is a great treatment for all skin types all year round.

Recovery & Results

After your microneedling session, your skin will be slightly pink similar to a sunburn and may develop a small amount of swelling. Your skin will likely feel tight, but there is no downtime with this procedure, you can go about your normal activities. It is likely, however, that you would may want to avoid significant social situations for 2-3 days while your skin settles after treatment. Microneedling is usually done with a series of treatments throughout the year.
