Quick Guide to Microneedling: Why Professionals Recommend It

In professional aesthetics, clients are increasingly looking for effective treatments to rejuvenate their skin and address visible signs of ageing. Microneedling has become one of the most trusted solutions, supported by strong clinical evidence. Yet many still have questions about how it works, how to prepare, and which devices deliver the best results. This guide provides a concise overview for professionals.

Why Choose Microneedling

Microneedling is a versatile treatment with clinically recognized benefits across a range of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scarring

• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage

• Enlarged pores and reduced elasticity

• Stretch marks and other textural concerns

• Hair thinning and hair loss

By incorporating microneedling into professional practice, clinics can optimize results for clients seeking smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

How Microneedling Actually Works

Microneedling devices, such as those in the Dr. Pen professional collection, use motorized precision to create controlled microchannels in the skin.

This process stimulates a natural wound-healing response that triggers the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in renewed, healthier tissue. Despite its effectiveness, the treatment is minimally invasive and associated with little to no downtime.

Here’s How to Microneedle

Is Microneedling Painful?

While the concept of needles may sound intimidating, microneedling is generally well tolerated. The ultra-fine needles used in professional devices create precise microchannels with minimal discomfort.

• Most clients experience only mild tingling or warmth during treatment.

• For those with lower pain thresholds, numbing cream may be applied—though patch testing is always recommended to avoid adverse reactions.

The treatment is minimally invasive and offers quick recovery, making it highly appealing to clients seeking visible improvements without extended downtime.

How Long Does it Take to See Results From Microneedling?

• Healing time: typically 24–72 hours, with redness and mild sensitivity subsiding quickly.

• Visible results: early improvements often appear within a week, with progressive benefits over several weeks.

• Treatment frequency: for optimal outcomes, treatments should be performed every 4–6 weeks, with a minimum of three sessions.

• Maintenance: nano needling can be introduced between sessions to enhance product absorption and extend results.
