FAQ’s
What is the downtime? Can I go back to work after my treatment?
It is common to notice redness, swelling and soreness immediately after the procedure. However, this shouldn’t prevent you from returning to work after injections. We recommend scheduling injections around your work schedule if you are concerned about the social downtime.
When will I see results?
Results commonly become noticeable within one week after treatment and improve with time. When treating skin concerns such as melasma and deep lines and wrinkles, it can take several treatments before noticing results.
Does it hurt?
Topical anesthetic cream is applied to reduce discomfort during the treatment.
Are there any other side effects I should know about?
The most common side effects are redness and sensitivity for up to 24 hours.
When can I wear makeup again?
We recommend waiting 24 hours before applying makeup.
I’m pregnant or breastfeeding. Can I get microneedling?
We recommend receiving clearance from your OBGYN prior to treatment if pregnant or breastfeeding.
