Is Microneedling Painful?

During the microneedling treatment, a topical numbing cream is used, so you should be pain-free. You will feel the rubbing sensation of the pen, but it will subside quickly.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Your number of appointments depends on the size of the surface area being treated. In general, you should get at least three to five microneedling treatments that are spaced out every four to six weeks. Due to the nature of the treatment, your skin needs ample time to heal between treatments. For the average person, that will be around the one-month mark.

How Long Until I See Results?

You’ll likely notice some immediate improvements after your first treatment, but you should get the recommended cumulative treatments for best results. Most people observe firmer, smoother skin and improvement in the appearance of scarring and skin discoloration after a series of three to five microneedling treatments spaced at four-week intervals.

Can I Combine Microneedling with Other Procedures?

Absolutely! Our clients who have received microneedling in Great Neck, NY, have combined it with a chemical peel or a Hydrafacial. If you are interested in combining procedures, we suggest you bring this up during your initial consultation with your provider so they can include your ideas as they design your customized treatment plan.

Microneedling

Introduction

Introduction to Microneedling

Microneedling is a gentle, non-invasive anti-aging treatment that revitalizes and refreshes the skin by boosting collagen production. It also resurfaces the skin, enhancing its texture and reducing blemishes, fine lines, wrinkles, and sunspots. Microneedling is ideal for clients who are not interested in ablative therapies like laser skin resurfacing or cosmetic surgery. If you are interested in receiving microneedling in Great Neck and the greater Nassau County area, consider scheduling a consultation at the high-end luxury spa practice of Nimbus Medical Spa. Treat yourself to an aesthetic boost while being relaxed and comfortable.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is FDA-approved for the treatment of aging and damaged skin. As the term indicates, microneedling involves a device making microscopic needle punctures as it is moved over the target area of the body. Subsequently, these tiny micro-wounds stimulate natural skin rejuvenation as the body begins to heal, creating more collagen and elastin in the process. At Nimbus Medical Spa, we offer microneedling with PRP as well as RF Frequency add-ons to boost the impact of the treatment further:

Microneedling with RF
In addition to microneedles, the dissipation of radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat tissue helps the skin tissue contract and tighten, further increasing collagen production.
Microneedling with PRP
The provider first draws a blood sample using this technique to obtain the PRP (platelet-rich plasma). Then, after the practitioner uses the device to prick the skin, they apply the PRP to the micro-wounds to encourage healing and cell production.

What’s the first step

The first step in getting microneedling in Great Neck and Nassau County is to schedule an in-person consultation at Nimbus Medical Spa. During your appointment, your provider will speak to you about your medical history, current medications, aesthetic goals, and expectations. It is important to be open with your history because some past treatments and medications, such as certain acne medications or topical retinoid prescriptions, can interfere with the effectiveness of the microneedling procedure. Your provider will then examine your target area and recommend the varying techniques, including the PRP and RF add-ons available.

If you decide to proceed with treatment, your provider will create a treatment plan for you. Our concierge team will then help you with scheduling and pricing options.

What to Expect on the Day of Microneedling Treatment

On the day of your microneedling in Great Neck and Nassau County, your provider and their staff will receive you, get you settled in the treatment room, and review your plan once more to ensure you have no further questions or concerns. Once all is confirmed, the practitioner will begin by applying a topical analgesic to numb the skin and keep you comfortable.

After you are numb, the provider will move the device across the target area, making fine microscopic punctures. If you have chosen to get the PRP add-on, your blood would have been drawn, and the plasma readied ahead of this part of the procedure. Then, the PRP would be injected into the micropunctures.

The procedure is finished once the pen has been moved over the target area for the desired duration. On the microscopic level, the skin has been triggered to increase its collagen and elastin production, leading to rejuvenated skin. If the PRP add-on has been chosen, the platelets will help speed up this process. If the RF add-on has been chosen, the skin will be more stimulated and contracted. Either add-on will boost the impact of the process in different ways.

On average and without complications, a microneedling treatment can last between five minutes to an hour.

Microneedling Recovery

After the treatment, you will be monitored in the recovery room to prevent unintended side effects. When you are ready to leave the practice, you will be sent home with a comfortable care package that includes skin ointments and other post-treatment care.

Do not worry if your skin feels tight, warm, rough, or red for the first few days after treatment; this is normal and will subside.
