How Soon Will You See Results From Microneedling?
By RAFAELA LUZURIAGA
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s most commonly used on the face to treat issues like sun spots, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or wrinkles. However, how quickly you see results from microneedling varies from person to person, depending on individual skin types and concerns.
Many people begin seeing a few initial results as early as one week after the first treatment, with optimal results appearing after four to six weeks. Meanwhile, more prominent scarring and lines may take up to six sessions — spread over five to nine months, give or take — to start yielding satisfactory results.
The results will persist months after the final treatment, according to a study in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology. Book your microneedling sessions four to six weeks apart for a safe healing period in between sessions and to allow the collagen to completely develop in the affected area.
