Question 1

What is microneedling?

Accepted Answer

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, supporting natural skin repair and rejuvenation.

Question 2

What skin concerns can microneedling treat?

Accepted Answer

Microneedling can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, pigmentation, enlarged pores, uneven texture and loss of skin firmness.

Question 3

Is microneedling painful?

Accepted Answer

The treatment is generally well tolerated. At adeera we advise not to use numbing cream. Without numbing cream, the skin responds more naturally, allowing for safer depth control, better circulation and optimal results. But it can be used at request if client prefers to.

Question 4

How many sessions are required?

Accepted Answer

Visible improvement may be seen after one session; however, for optimal and long-lasting results, a course of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually recommended.

Question 5

Is there any downtime?

Accepted Answer

Mild redness, warmth or sensitivity is common and typically settles within 24–48 hours. Every individual varies, some may experience scabbing, flaking of the skin, redness, increased sensitivity. So expect longer downtime for some people.

Question 6

When will results be visible?

Accepted Answer

Initial radiance may be seen within days, with progressive improvement over the following weeks as collagen production increases. Expect to see full results in 28 days as this is this skin shedding cycle.

Question 7

Is microneedling suitable for all skin types?

Accepted Answer

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and skin tones when performed by a trained professional.

Question 8

Can I wear makeup after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Makeup should be avoided for at least 24 hours to allow the skin to heal. But for maximum results we recommend avoiding makeup for the duration of the healing period which is 7 days.

Question 9

Is SPF required after microneedling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Daily use of broad-spectrum SPF 50 is essential to protect the skin and maintain results.

Question 10

Will I bleed?

Accepted Answer

Mild pinpoint bleeding can occur during microneedling, particularly in areas being treated more deeply. This is expected, minimal and safely managed, and usually subsides during the treatment. Varies with each individual.
