Risks of microneedling

What to expect during and after your appointment
Before your appointment, you will consult with a qualified provider to discuss your goals and expectations. The provider will then apply a numbing cream to your skin before using the microneedling device.
After your appointment, you may experience some redness and swelling. This is normal and should subside within a few days. You should avoid sun exposure and harsh skincare products for at least 24 hours after your treatment.
