Questions
Frequently asked
Does it hurt?
Most people find it very comfortable. A numbing cream is applied beforehand, and you'll usually just feel a light vibration or prickling.
When will I see results?
Many people notice their skin looking fresher within a week or two. Results continue to build over the following weeks, and a course gives the best improvement.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people have a course of three to six sessions, spaced around four to six weeks apart. Amna will plan the right number for your skin and goals.
Are there any side effects?
Redness, mild swelling and tightness are common and usually settle within a day or two. Some people have light flaking as the skin renews. Amna will discuss all risks with you before treatment.
Can I combine it with anything?
Yes. Microneedling can be combined with exosomes or PRP for a more advanced treatment. Amna will recommend the best option for you.
Is it suitable for everyone?
It isn't suitable if you're pregnant, under 18, have active acne, an infection or cold sores in the area, a history of keloid scarring, or have taken isotretinoin (Roaccutane) in the last six months. Amna will check your medical history at your consultation.
