Microneedling uses a device to create multiple tiny micro-punctures in the skin, triggering the skin's natural repair process and new collagen production to improve texture, fine lines, pores, scarring and pigmentation. Topical anaesthetic cream is usually applied first. More than one treatment is generally required and results vary between individuals with no guarantee of outcome.
Common side effects include discomfort/stinging, a tight, swollen, sunburned feeling, redness, pinpoint bleeding, bruising, itching, scabbing and temporary darkening of the treated area. Redness and sensitivity usually settle within 24 hours to 7 days.
Uncommon side effects include skin infection, reactivation of cold sores, and hyper- or hypo-pigmentation (usually fading within 6 months, rarely permanent). Rarely, scarring may occur. Avoid excessive sun exposure before and after treatment and use SPF as advised.
