Elena to add: short what-to-expect lead line and overview paragraph.
Downtime and Aftercare
Post treatment, you may experience skin redness and swelling similar to mild sunburn. These symptoms do not often last more than 72 hours, although individual experiences may vary. During a free consultation, we will review aftercare instructions, so that you’ll know what to expect following your treatment.
Side Effects and Risks
While Microneedling is a safe, effective procedure, there are some potential risks and side effects. These include:
- Skin redness, also called erythema
- Skin irritation
- Skin inflammation
- Dry skin
- Hyperpigmentation
- Hypersensitivity
- Acne flareups
- Herpes flareups
- Infections
It’s normal to have some skin redness and inflammation after the procedure.
For some people, the inflammation can lead to hyperpigmentation and flare-ups of other conditions, such as acne and herpes. However, the majority of people who undergo Micro-needling do not experience any of these issues.

How it works
General modality notes — not a diagnosis and not a guarantee from this page.
General science (AAD / dermatology texts): medical microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The wound-healing cascade can stimulate new collagen and elastin over weeks to months. Depth, device, and aftercare determine downtime. This is a medical-style procedure description, not a statement that Elena currently books it
Visit notes
AAD: downtime is usually minimal. Treated skin can look or feel sunburned for a few days to a week; makeup is often delayed about 24 hours. Full collagen change is gradual over months. Pregnant or nursing guests should not self-select needling
"Safe for every skin type." Dedicated page describes Medical Microneedling using high-grade surgical needles. Numbing cream is applied
