How Long Do Microneedling Results Last?

The path to rejuvenating your skin can feel complex and slightly out of reach. Curious about the longevity of microneedling results? Wonder no more! Microneedling, a popular cosmetic procedure known for its skin-rejuvenating benefits, can leave many wondering about the duration of its effects. 

Whether you're considering microneedling for acne scars, wrinkles, or overall skin improvement, understanding the duration of its results is key to making an informed decision. Join us as we uncover the factors influencing the longevity of microneedling outcomes and provide expert insights into maintaining that coveted post-treatment glow.

The benefits of microneedling

Before we get to the length in which the results of microneedling are expected to last, let’s go over a few of the well known benefits so that we know what to look forward to after your session. 

Microneedling targets fine lines and wrinkles

After a few sessions, microneedling will significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. The microneedling device creates micro injuries which, in turn, causes your body to trigger its healing process. Part of the healing process consists of the body signaling for additional collagen and elastin production. As increased collagen production and elastin flood the newly treated skin, fine lines and wrinkles slowly begin to fade.

Scars can be treated with microneedling

Similar to wrinkles, acne scars and enlarged pores can be treated with the consistent use of microneedling. Working in the same way, the introduction of new collagen and fresh skin allows any previously present concerns to slowly fade as the skin heals.

Topical products are improved with microneedling

While the microneedling process is minimally invasive, it does require the use of small, microscopic needles to gently penetrate the skin. Not only does this trick your skin into healing itself, sending fresh blood and nutrients to the area, it also creates microscopic channels so that skincare products can be better absorbed.

So, not only are you getting the immediate results from your treatment, but deeper product absorption results in even better, customized results for your skin concerns!

How to make your microneedling results last longer

Interested in making sure your results will last? We can help you with that! In order to have an effective microneedling treatment, we suggest scheduling a consultation with us at Studio Wax and Face Bar, as well as following these simple guidelines:

Stay hydrated

First and foremost, one of the best things you will need to do for your skin – microneedling or not – is to ensure you’re drinking enough water. Not only can dehydrated skin look tired and dull, but improper hydration can impede your cellular turnover and collagen production. 

Avoid sun exposure as much as possible

It is important to remember that these micro-injuries are still injuries to the surface of your skin. Although you may not experience any significant side effects, you should always shield fresh, healing skin from the strength of harmful UV rays. Sun damage is a leading cause toward signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, and sun spots.

Do not use any harsh skin care products

Sometimes, less is more. Harsh, overbearing skincare products can not only dry out your skin, but also significantly affect your face’s natural protective barrier. Interfering with this barrier means that the skin will be more susceptible to additional damage and your microneedling effects may vary as a result. Go over your skincare routine with your esthetician to ensure you’re using the right products for your skin!

Limit physical activity for a couple days

Treat yourself to a relaxing day or two following your appointments. Sweat from participating in physical activity – from sports to going to the gym – causes bacteria to clog your pores. Clogged pores may result in unwanted acne, and diminished results from your microneedling session.

Make sure to stay moisturized

While proper hydration nourishes you from the inside, staying moisturized helps protect your skin on the outside. Maintaining hydrated skin will not only improve the look and texture of the skin around your face, it will also aid in getting results that will last you in the long run, as hydrated skin heals the best.

Follow the advice of your microneedling expert 

Unsure of something? Not sure how your skin type or medication will interact with treatment? Have acne prone skin? Discuss your skin concerns with a microneedling expert! Achieving results that will last means that any and all advice outlined by your provider should be followed.
