  1. I’m afraid of needles. Now what?

Fear of needles is really common! Here’s some good news: the needles used in aesthetic treatments are extremely small and thin, so the discomfort is usually minimal, often compared to a mosquito bite or a pinprick. Plus, for most procedures, topical numbing creams and ice are used to make sure you're comfortable throughout.

Once you start seeing the results—whether it’s smoother skin, rejuvenated features, or a more youthful appearance—the fear will likely fade away. Many people end up feeling great about the transformation and find it’s all worth it.

  1. What is the timing and down time with Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, you may experience redness similar to a mild sunburn, which fades within a few days. It’s best to avoid makeup and sun for 24 hours post-treatment.

There’s minimal downtime, and most can resume normal activities within 24 hours. Following the aftercare instructions is key for optimal recovery and results. Noticeable improvements in skin texture usually appear within a few weeks, and regular sessions may be recommended for the best results.

  1. What is used with Microneedling?

Microneedling is often combined with Peptide Glide or PRF Glide for enhanced results:

  • Peptide Glide: A serum rich in peptides that stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture.

  • PRF Glide: Platelet-Rich Fibrin from your own blood, used to promote healing, collagen growth, and skin regeneration.

These serums maximize product absorption, boosting the effects of microneedling. Aftercare products like soothing gels may also be used to reduce redness and swelling.
