Frequently Asked Questions
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response and collagen production. At Purefico MedSpa in Cornelius, NC, we use medical-grade microneedling devices to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, minimize scars, and enhance overall skin quality.
How does microneedling work?
Microneedling creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for firm, youthful skin. This controlled injury triggers your body's wound healing process, resulting in skin remodeling, improved texture, and reduced appearance of scars, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.
What skin concerns does microneedling treat?
Microneedling effectively treats fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture and tone, sun damage, age spots, and overall skin laxity. Many Lake Norman area patients use microneedling for comprehensive skin rejuvenation and anti-aging benefits without surgery or harsh chemicals.
Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling is performed with topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Most patients report mild to moderate sensation during treatment, often described as light scratching or vibration. At Purefico MedSpa, we ensure your comfort throughout the 30-45 minute procedure, and most patients tolerate it very well.
How many microneedling treatments do I need?
Most patients achieve optimal results with 3-6 microneedling treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on your specific skin concerns and goals. Mild concerns may improve with 3 treatments, while deeper scars or significant aging may require 6 or more sessions for best results.
When will I see microneedling results?
You may notice improved skin texture and glow within 1-2 weeks after your first microneedling treatment. Visible improvements in wrinkles, scars, and skin quality typically appear after 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases. Optimal results develop over 3-6 months with a series of treatments as skin continues to remodel and regenerate.
What is the downtime after microneedling?
Microneedling downtime is minimal. Expect redness and mild swelling for 1-3 days, similar to a sunburn. Most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. At Purefico MedSpa in Cornelius, we provide detailed aftercare instructions including avoiding sun exposure, wearing SPF, and using gentle skincare products during healing.
