Q: Does microneedling hurt? A: At-home cosmetic microneedling is virtually painless. You may feel a slight tingling sensation, but since the needles only work in the top layer of the skin (0.1–0.3 mm), it is far from uncomfortable. Medical microneedling in a clinic can feel more intense because the needles are longer and go deeper into the skin. It can work on scars and deeper lines – and the treatment is always performed by a professional. Q: How quickly will I see results? A: After just a few treatments, many people experience fresher skin and a better glow. After 2 weeks, the skin's texture may begin to feel more even. After 30 days, the skin is visibly stronger, more resilient and youthful. The results will be even better if you use microneedling consistently along with vitamin A and other active ingredients. Q: Can everyone use microneedling? A: Most people can safely use cosmetic microneedling at home. However, you should avoid the treatment if you have: Active acne or skin infection Extremely sensitive skin or skin diseases (e.g. eczema in outbreaks) Open wounds or irritation If you are in doubt, we recommend a consultation before you get started. Q: What is the difference between cosmetic and medical microneedling? A: Cosmetic microneedling : short needles, only in the epidermis. Increases product absorption and strengthens the skin with regular use. Medical microneedling : longer needles and electronic needle stamp (e.g. Dermapen). Creates controlled microtrauma and stimulates the skin's own collagen production. Q: How often should I microneedle? A: 0.1–0.2 mm needles: daily 0.3 mm needles: 3–4 times a week In our 30 Day Microneedling Challenge, you choose whether you want to microneedle every day or 4 times a week. Both methods will give results – the most important thing is that you find a routine that fits into your everyday life. Q: What products work best with microneedling? A: Vitamin A (Environ) – the foundation for healthy skin; stimulates collagen and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid – intense moisture and fullness. Peptides and antioxidants – protect, give glow and enhance the effect of vitamin A. 🚫 Avoid acids or concentrated retinol directly after treatment, as the skin is extra susceptible.
