What is the best frequency of microneedling sessions?

We suggest that microneedling treatments for the face and body are spaced out 4-6 weeks apart.This time frame allows for optimal healing and great results! 

This is difficult to answer without pictures. I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for skincare and after care recommendations. I always combine microneedling with prp, punch excision, TCA cross, fillers and lasers to get the best outcomes for this type of scarring. We do treatments every 3-6 weeks. Best, Dr. Emer

In my practice, we also combine microneedling + PRP. Using your own plasma, which is rich in growth factors which will repair the skin and regenerate tissue. We recommend 3 treatments with 6 weeks between each for optimal skin healing. For best results, it is important to consult with a board certified dermatologist. Thank you for your question, best of luck!

In my clinic, I usually recommend microneedling treatment every 4-6 weeks. I believe this interval gives the skin enough time to heal between treatments. However, there no set guideline and other physicians may have a different opinion on this. 

Hello,There is no research to support that frequent microneedling is beneficial.In our practice, I recommend less frequent microneedling + PRP. Instead, recommend home skin care regime which would prolong benefits of microneedling.Best - see an expertDr Ray BayatiSacramento area, California

Hello fiveonesix,Thank you for your question. This is a difficult question to answer without photos. Normally for acne scarring we get very aggressive with the skin, spacing treatments 3-4 weeks apart until the skin has smoothed, then we recommend following up every 3 months to maintain and keep the skin looking its best.Hope this helps,

Hi fiveonesix,With microneedling with or without PRP, the microwounds release growth factors that induce collagen formation. It is not an overnight process and takes time. I like it spaced 6 weeks apart for 4-6 treatments. One study showed that after this initial series, Microneedling frequency can be reduced to about once in three or six months.All the best, Justin Harper,M.D.
