Asked By:500c in Los Angeles, California

I am 25 years old male. I want to have microneedling treatment to repair aging as much as possible. I've heard that it can hurt if the needle is big, but at the same time, I want to get the best results. What is the size of needle you will use? and how much does it hurt?
