One of the great things about skin microneedling is that patients typically notice some signs of improvement within a week of treatment, with more noticeable results within the next three to four weeks. This treatment works by creating tiny irritation points in the skin, prompting the body to kick-start its own repair mechanisms and produce new collagen and elastin.

Newly produced collagen contributes to the smoothness, firmness, and overall improvement of the skin, but since collagen production can take several weeks to peak, patients will have to wait a while before seeing the full results. Also, how quickly you see results will depend on the specific cosmetic concern you’re looking to address.

For example, if you’re looking to reduce acne or burn scars with skin microneedling, you may need four to six treatments, four to six weeks apart, and the full results may take six months to a year to show. Conversely, if you’re simply looking to improve early signs of aging on your face, one or more treatments may be enough, and the results you’re looking for may be achieved in as little as one or two months. After an initial consultation and assessment of your skin condition, we’ll be able to give you a more accurate timeline to expect.
