Question 1

Does microneedling hurt?

Accepted Answer

Topical numbing is typically applied before treatment to help maximize comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure, vibration, warmth, or temporary sensitivity during the procedure. Comfort levels can vary depending on the treatment intensity, treatment area, and individual sensitivity.

Question 2

How long until I see results?

Accepted Answer

Many clients notice an initial improvement in skin texture, hydration, and overall radiance within the first couple of weeks as the skin heals. Because collagen remodeling is a gradual process, improvements in skin quality, texture, firmness, and overall rejuvenation continue developing over the following weeks and months. More significant corrective results are often achieved through a customized series of treatments and ongoing maintenance based on your skin goals.

Question 3

How much downtime is there?

Accepted Answer

Downtime varies depending on the type and intensity of the microneedling treatment performed, as well as your individual skin response. Temporary redness, warmth, tightness, swelling, dryness, or sensitivity similar to a mild to moderate sunburn is common after treatment. Some clients recover within a couple of days, while more advanced corrective treatments may require additional recovery time. Post-treatment instructions, healing expectations, and recommendations for makeup and skincare use will be provided based on your specific treatment.

Question 4

How many sessions do I need?

Accepted Answer

More corrective concerns such as acne scarring, texture irregularities, pigmentation concerns, or advanced signs of aging often benefit from a customized treatment series, while maintenance treatments are typically recommended after an initial corrective series has been completed to help support long-term results and ongoing skin health.

Question 5

Can microneedling help acne scars?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it's one of the most effective treatments for acne scarring. The collagen induction process fills in depressed scars and smooths uneven texture over a series of treatments.

Question 6

What's the difference between this and Scarlet Pro RF?

Accepted Answer

Traditional microneedling primarily stimulates collagen production through controlled micro-channels created within the skin. Scarlet Pro RF combines microneedling with advanced radiofrequency energy to deliver controlled energy beneath the skin’s surface, helping support additional collagen stimulation, skin tightening, texture improvement, and overall skin rejuvenation. Scarlet Pro RF may be recommended for more advanced concerns related to skin laxity, aging, acne scarring, and overall skin quality depending on your treatment goals.
