As you rest comfortably, your aesthetician prepares your skin for the treatment. She may apply a topical anesthetic, depending on your comfort level and the depth of the needles. Then, she uses a handheld device to run a series of tiny sterile needles over the treatment area. Although this sounds painful, it doesn’t have to be. The trained professionals at Outer Banks Dermatology know how to perform the treatment with minimal discomfort. You may feel a slight prickly sensation, but you shouldn’t be in pain. Your experienced aesthetician performs the microneedling therapy under the supervision of Dr. Glover. That ensures you have the highest quality experience and the best results.
