We apply a topical numbing cream to minimize patient discomfort during the procedure. Microneedling sessions are brief, so any discomfort you experience will subside quickly. Side effects will vary by skin type and the patient's skin sensitivity. You may notice mild to moderate skin redness, dryness, itching, burning, or sunburn side effects after treatment. Minor acne breakouts are another common side effect. We may recommend using a hydrating serum or moisturizer to reduce any light peeling you may also experience.
