Is a SkinPen microneedling treatment painful and what’s the recovery like?
SkinPen microneedling treatments are designed to be as comfortable as possible. A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort, and most patients describe the sensation as light pressure or a mild buzzing. After treatment, you may experience some redness and a feeling similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a day or two. Patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours, making it an easy treatment to fit into your routine.
To achieve the best results, a series of multiple treatments spaced approximately four weeks apart is recommended. After completing your initial series, maintenance treatments will help sustain your results and keep your skin looking its best. Your provider will be able to tailor a plan based on your specific skin goals.
