Microneedling in Reno, NV

Mild discomfort may accompany redness after your microneedling session, but this should resolve within the same timeframe. Use a cold compress to reduce any tenderness.

Microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin and requires no incisions, so typically, there is no chance of scars forming. However, notify our medical aesthetician during your consultation if you are known to scar easily or develop keloids.

Since no two patients are exactly alike, and your treatment needs are unique, the cost of microneedling varies significantly and depends on the number and size of the treatment areas. An accurate price quote will be provided at the end of your consultation.

Microneedling delivers long-lasting results, but they are not permanent. Multiple sessions spaced a month apart will help ensure ideal results, and additional periodic treatments can extend them indefinitely. Microneedling can remove years of damage from your skin, but like other cosmetic treatments, it cannot stop the aging process.

Do not apply makeup for at least two days after your microneedling session.

Avoid facial cleansers for at least 48 hours; use lukewarm water to rinse your face instead.

Individuals with troubling skin flaws in the upper layers of their skin may benefit from microneedling treatments. Ideal candidates are healthy and have realistic expectations of their microneedling results.

Microneedling is safe and straightforward when performed by a well-trained, licensed professional at a doctor’s office, clinic, or medically supervised med spa.

The depth of penetration set for your microneedling treatment will depend on your primary skin concerns. Deeper penetration may be appropriate for stretch marks and severe acne scarring. Talk to your provider about your concerns and ask any questions you have about the procedure.
