Are the needles used in the Micro needling procedure replaced for every patient?

Yes, the tiny needles used in microneedling are replaced after every patient. There is no chance of transmitting blood from patient to patient. Needle depth is chosen based on patient skin type, frequency of treatment, and condition being treated. I suggest you consult with a board certified dermatologist when seeking treatment.

Approved microneedling devices in the US have disposable single use tips to eliminate any risk of cross contamination. Better devices also have a plastic sleeve that covers the hand piece itself (example-Skinpen or Eclipse Pen). Ask what device is used and if it has this feature. Don't bother with derma rollers go to someone with a quality automated device.BestLisa Vuich, MD

Thank you for your question. The needles used in microneedling come in a sterile package and are for single use only and are disposed of after use. We also use a protective sleeve that slips around the microneedling device. Hope this helps!
