Microneedling Seattle

Improvement is seen with each treatment but a series of 6 treatments is best to achieve optimal results.

Microneedling treatments can be repeated every 4-6 weeks.

Since no melanin-absorbing laser and no heat are involved, the Microneedling is relatively safer than lasers, such as IPL, for darker skin types*.

One of our medical estheticians will perform your treatment.

Microneedling uses very fine needles and is relatively comfortable. A topical numbing cream is an option and usually not used for esthetic microneedling but needed for deeper medical microneedling.

For a face, each treatment is 30 to 45 minutes.

Needle rollers also use needles for skin resurfacing but are often too large and unwieldy for tight areas. They are also dependent on hand pressure, so the depth of penetration varies depending on the amount of pressure exerted and the softness of the skin, while the microneedling depth of penetration is set precisely with an electronic dial. There is also lateral trauma to the skin when the needles on a roller pull out of the skin as the wheel turns. This does not happen with the Dermapen, which relies only on vertical needle action.

There is redness and very minimal bleeding.
