Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure performed in your doctor’s office. Your skin will be anesthetized with a numbing cream for about 45 minutes prior to the treatment. The doctor will then use the automated microneedling device to directly treat the skin. This is done by moving the device across the skin multiple times in different directions. There may be some minor pinpoint bleeding (tiny droplets) that the doctor can easily control. After the procedure, wet saline pads are applied to the treated area.
