Skinpen Microneedling in Lawrence

No, you likely won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Before the treatment begins, we will apply a numbing cream and allow activate. Many patients describe the feeling of the treatment as a mild scratching. Your well-being is our priority, so be sure to tell us if you feel any discomfort during the treatment.

You should consider microneedling if:

• You’re showing mild effects of aging
• You’re healthy
• You’re not pregnant or nursing
• You don’t have any blood disorders or diseases transmittable through blood.

It’s different for everyone, but most people notice microneedling results in the 3 or 4 months following treatment.

If you’re interested in preparing for your microneedling appointment, you should avoid:

• Shaving
• Waxing
• Epilating
• Blood thinners
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Direct sunlight for 2 weeks
• Topical agents like exfoliants, retinoids, glycolic acid—or anything that increases skin sensitivity—for 1 week

As you’re recovering following your microneedling appointment, you should avoid

• Washing your face for 4 hours. Use clean hands and cool water. A hot shower can damage your skin.
• Icing skin
• Any medications that affect the healing process, like Advil and ibuprofen
• Harsh skincare products for 48 hours
• Intense exercise (anything that may cause you to sweat)
