The Process of Microneedling in Long Island

Unlock Your Best Skin: The Microneedling Journey

Step 1

Consultation and Skin Assessment

Your journey begins with a consultation where your provider will assess your skin type, discuss your concerns, and determine if microneedling is right for you. They’ll customize a treatment plan based on your skin’s needs.

Step 2

Preparation of the Skin

Before the procedure, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any dirt, makeup, or oils. A topical numbing cream is then applied to minimize any discomfort during the treatment, allowing for a more comfortable experience.

Step 3

Microneedling Procedure

Once your skin is numbed, a microneedling device, which typically contains a handheld pen-like instrument with a cartridge that holds tiny needles is used. The depth of the needles is adjusted based on the treatment goals. The device is moved across the skin, creating micro-punctures in the dermis. 

We also offer microneedling with radio frequency. With this method, your practitioner uses a specialized microneedling device that combines microneedles and radiofrequency (RF) energy. The microneedles create micro-punctures in the skin while RF energy is delivered deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. This combination enhances the treatment by addressing both surface texture and deeper layers for more effective skin rejuvenation. The depth of the microneedles and RF intensity can be customized based on the treatment area and the patient’s needs.

Step 4

Post-Treatment Care

After the treatment, your provider may apply a soothing serum or moisturizer to calm your skin. You may experience mild redness and a slight sunburn-like sensation, but this typically subsides within a few hours.

Step 5

Recovery and Aftercare

While the downtime is minimal, it’s important to follow aftercare instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and harsh skincare products. Your skin may be slightly red for 24-48 hours, but this is a normal part of the healing process.

Step 6

Follow-Up Sessions

Depending on your treatment goals, your provider may recommend multiple microneedling sessions spaced a few weeks apart for the best results. Typically, 3-6 treatments are suggested to achieve optimal skin improvement.

Step 7

Seeing Results

As collagen production increases over the next few weeks, you’ll begin to notice smoother, firmer skin with a reduction in fine lines, scars, and other imperfections. The full benefits of microneedling become visible over time, often after 4-6 weeks.

What Exactly is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a simple, non-surgical treatment that uses tiny, fine needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin. This may sound a bit intimidating, but these tiny wounds are actually beneficial. They trigger the body’s natural healing process, which boosts collagen and elastin production, two key elements that keep skin firm and smooth. The treatment helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and fade scars from acne or sun damage. While it may cause a bit of redness and sensitivity afterward, it’s a quick procedure with little downtime and noticeable results over time, making it a popular choice for those looking to refresh and rejuvenate their skin.
