Questions & Answers with Dr. Aker
Who is a candidate?
One of the most exciting things about Microneedling is that it can be used on all types of skin for a wide range of problems, including acne scars and any area requiring cell regeneration or an intense repair process.
How is the procedure done?
A thin layer of serum is applied to the skin, and the appropriate treatment is selected for a particular type of skin. Then the pen is glided across the repair area in a gentle motion.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes (with numbing), depending upon the size of the area and the severity of skin damage.
When will I see the results?
Most people notice healthier-looking skin immediately, and the natural repair process of the skin continues to progress over the course of several weeks. Dermal collagen remodeling takes place over time, and it will continue to improve for up to six months after your final treatment.
What areas of the body can be treated?
Microneedling is extremely versatile and can be used on all parts of the body: Face, neck, decollete, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back. This versatility makes Microneedling especially helpful when addressing acne scars and stretch marks.
What does it feel like?
The unique design of Microneedling allows for individualized settings, which makes the treatment quite comfortable for most patients.
What is the downtime?
Immediately following the treatment, you will notice a healthy skin glow. Your skincare professional will recommend products to aid your skin’s natural healing process. Total healing time depends on the severity of the damaged skin and depth of the repair process required. On average, patients are pink for two to four days. Some patients heal completely in 24 hours.
How many treatments will I need?
The course of treatment will be determined by your skincare professional based upon your individual treatment goals and the health of your skin. Most patients receive a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. For patients with more severe skin issues, additional sessions may be necessary.
