Your skin will appear healthier once the redness from the microneedling treatment fades, but it will take some time to see full results. Generally, you should anticipate seeing complete results within 3 to 6 months, with ongoing enhancements throughout that period. This is because microneedling in Hoover works by stimulating healing, and your body requires time to produce more collagen.
Our Microneedling Treatment Process
Step 1:
To ensure microneedling is the ideal treatment for your skin, we start new patients with a consultation. We’ll review your medical history, your aesthetic concerns, and your goals before recommending a course of action.
Initial consultations are a great opportunity to be transparent about your desires and grow a relationship with your Smart Skin providers. These sessions take about 30 minutes, but can vary depending on the number of questions you have.
Step 2:
If we deem microneedling suitable for you, a provider will escort you to one of our hygienic and welcoming treatment rooms. After prepping your skin, we’ll begin the procedure. To add PRP, a blood draw is required as the first step.
Using the advanced handheld device, your provider makes microwounds to stimulate healing, increasing collagen and elastin production. For patients wanting added PRP, we incorporate it topically after your microneedling treatment.
Step 3:
Microneedling usually takes around 30 minutes, but the duration can vary based on the size of your treatment area. For example, treating your face takes less time than treating your face, neck, and chest.
Step 4:
Following the microneedling procedure, your provider will give you a set of post-treatment instructions to follow to protect your skin and maximize your results.
Most patients will have what looks like a mild sunburn for 2 to 4 days. You can typically resume your normal makeup and skincare regimen within a week’s time.
