Microneedling

You will have some slight redness and possibly a small amount of bleeding associated with microneedling treatments. This will depend on how aggressive the treatments are. The skin may remain a little pink for about two days. In general, we recommend to not wear makeup for 24-48 hours especially with a more aggressive treatment.

At Lazaderm, we will apply a strong anesthetic cream to numb the skin. This topical is not available except under the direct supervision of licensed medical personnel. The topical will be applied for 20 - 30 minutes prior to your treatment. This will minimize discomfort during the procedure allowing the staff to be very aggressive with minimal discomfort.

The great thing about microneedling is that it can be used on nearly all areas of the body that have intact skin.

Medical microneedling is safe on all skin types even persons of color. Unlike lasers, microneedling does not cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in patients with darker skin tones including those of African ancestry.

This will be somewhat variable. We recommend a minimum of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Acne scarring, scarring and stretch marks will require more treatments. Many patients complete a treatment every three months to maintain their results.

Yes, multiple studies show the benefits of medical microneedling patients with hair loss. This is true of both men and women. Studies show increased release of growth factors including the activation of stem cells and increased expression of hair growth-related genes. Topicals may be applied at the time of treatment. Microneedling will usually be recommended as part of an overall hair restoration program.
