Microneedling

Microneedling can be mildly uncomfortable, but it is generally not considered painful. The sensation experienced during microneedling is often described as a mild stinging or pricking sensation. However, the level of discomfort can vary depending on factors such as the depth of the needles, the area being treated, and the individual’s pain tolerance. Overall, while some degree of discomfort is common during microneedling, it is usually well-tolerated by most individuals.

In general, most people start to see improvements in their skin’s appearance within a few weeks to a few months after starting microneedling. However, it’s important to note that the results of microneedling are gradual and progressive, and optimal results are typically seen after a series of treatments.
