- Needling The skin needling device is then carefully passed over the targeted areas, creating the micro-injuries necessary to stimulate collagen production.
- How long does it take? The treatment typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
- After Skin Needling After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn.Most patients can return to their normal activities shortly after the treatment.
- When can I begin skin needling on my surgical scar? It can generally be started on a scar approximately 6 to 12 weeks post-surgery, once the wound has fully healed and there is no more scabbing or open areas. However, the exact timing can vary depending on individual healing rates and the nature of the surgery. Our dermal therapist will work with our nurses and doctors to determine when it is safe to start treatment. Downtime can be up to 2 days.
