Is Microneedling Painful?

Microneedling has made a lot of headlines recently, and rightfully so. It’s a newer procedure that employs different techniques than other skincare procedures, but it’s not nearly as invasive as it sounds. If you’re worried about microneedling being painful, don’t worry. Read on to find out more about microneedling and what it’s all about. The team at The Woodlands Plastic Surgery are seeing exceptional results with minimal pain, side effects, or downtime.

What Can I Expect Out of A Microneedling Procedure?

First off, let’s look at the results. Microneedling is a very versatile and non-surgical procedure that can be used for all kinds of skin types to correct many different skin issues. Patients that undergo microneedling treatments report the following:
Brighter Skin
Improvement in Skin Elasticity
Reversal of Discoloration
Scar Minimization
This is due to the natural boost in collagen production that microneedling provides. The best part? It’s minimally invasive. The tiny needles work in the dermis and don’t go beyond it, so you won’t scar. And because we provide a topical numbing agent, the procedure is rarely described as painful.

How Can I Minimize Post-Treatment Discomfort?

As mentioned above, Correa’s method of microneedling involves a topical numbing agent so you won’t feel pain during the actual procedure. But even afterward, post-procedural discomfort tends to be minimal. Depending on your skin type, our specialist may recommend an aftercare regimen to ensure the best results possible.
Additionally, microneedling is considered to be a no-downtime treatment, meaning that you will require no downtime before you can return to your life. In fact, the most common post-procedure aftereffect you can expect is a little pinkness or redness. This makes it ideal for those with a busy lifestyle.
