HI Friends!
Since there was so much interest and questions about my Microneedling appointment, I thought I would put together a blog post where you can find all the details along with photos from my experience. Microneedling has a BUNCH of benefits from fine lines, wrinkles, pore size and skin texture. I am really looking to improve the texture of my skin and reduce the pore size. I have quite a bit of acne scarring, with all the research that I have done, Microneedling will deliver the best results. Microneedling is suggested for anywhere from 3-6 treatments in order to achieve VERY noticeable results, so this will be a progressive post as I will be multiple treatments.
This was my very first ever treatment, needless to say I was a little nervous. Overall however, now being through it, I didn’t really need to be all that nervous. Yes there were moments that were uncomfortable, but it wasn’t that bad. My face was numbed all over, and actually that took the longest from start to finish. The actual process of Microneedling only took about 15-20 minutes- NOT BAD!

I know this looks gnarly, but the purpose is to make you skin bleed. By doing this you are requiring your skin to repair and what happens when it does that is it will create Collagen and Elastin which will result in a more smooth look. As we age, our bodies don’t create that much anymore, so this is a treatment that will do it for you!

Once all the blood was wiped away, it was just really red. It felt like a really strong sunburn, a little tight and hot. Over that night, It went away.
| MORNING AFTER |
Here you can see A LOT of my redness has gone away, but there are plenty of areas where the pen went in deeper which resulted in the redness and slight shadow bruising.
| ONE WEEK LATER |
This pas week I had a tiny bit of peeling around my chin, which my provider told me that would be normal. Still a bit of discoloration, especially under my eyes. But that’s nothing makeup can’t handle. There is MARKED improvement on how smooth my skin is. The sizes of my pores have begun to reduce a tiny bit, but I think this is the area that will take a few more treatments in order to really see results.
My posting this journey is in hopes of helping others that might suffer from these same problems and showing you there is hope and help you find the courage to take action! You can find out the full details on pricing as well as other details the website of my provider here. Always, if you have any other questions about it, feel free to ask!
Thank you for stopping by!
