How much does it hurt to have microneedling treatment?

We do combinations in our office for younger patients.  I love clear + brilliant and microneedling/PRP on my skin and do it every 6-8 weeks. I suggest you see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @500c! You numb for 30 minutes prior to the procedure. The depth of the needle can penetrate from 0.25 mm up to 3.0 mm depending on the area being treated. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

Great question. We use a topical numbing cream prior to microneedling treatments and can change the depth of the needle to penetrate anywhere from 0.25 mm up to 3.0 mm depending on the area and condition being treated. We also combine this with radiofrequency (RF) to add some skin tightening. In our experience, patients rate the microneedling around a 0-2/10 on the pain scale and a 3-4/10 when combined with RF. Overall, it’s incredibly tolerable and minimally uncomfortable.
 

Thank you for your question! This depends on the treatment intensity. But as the needles are very tiny the pain is most likely to be minimal. If you have sensitive skin, you can apply numbing cream to minimize pain during the procedure. You will experience some redness and mild swelling for 2 to 4 days. You might even notice a slight bruising or tiny blood spots, but they will disappear in 24 to 48 hours. Your skin will become smoother and radiant in a week. Best of luck!
