    Frequently asked questions

    How Does Microneedling Work?

    Microneedling involves using a handheld automatic mechanical device, such as a dermapen, equipped with tiny, sterilized needles. These needles create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface in a controlled and precise manner. The depth of penetration is finely regulated, ranging from 0.3mm to 2.5mm, depending on your specific skin concerns. 

    The micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining skin structure and elasticity. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking. The result is improved skin quality, texture, and tone, addressing concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and enlarged pores.

    What Are Common Areas for Microneedling?

    Microneedling is versatile and can be performed on various parts of the body, including:

    • Legs (for stretch marks)
    • Face
    • Neck
    • Décolleté
    • Scalp (for hair growth)
    • Hands

    Am I a Good Candidate For Microneedling?

    Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and can address a wide range of issues, including:

    • Stimulating hair growth
    • Fine lines and wrinkles
    • Acne scars and other types of scarring
    • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
    • Stretch marks
    • Enlarged pores

    When Should I Avoid Microneedling?

    Avoid microneedling if you have active skin infections, open wounds, or certain chronic conditions that impair healing. Pregnant women and those who have undergone recent radiation therapy should also refrain from the procedure.

    How Do I Prepare for Microneedling?

    Preparing for microneedling is simple. Ensure that you arrive with a clean face, free of makeup and moisturizer. Avoid taking blood thinners and NSAIDs a few days prior to the treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Additionally, refrain from sun tanning, harsh facial treatments like chemical peels, and using retinoid products for at least a week before your session to ensure your skin is in its best condition for the procedure.

    What is the Actual Process of Microneedling?

    The microneedling process begins with a consultation where you discuss your aesthetic goals and medical history with Dr. Schwarzburg. Next, the treatment area is sanitized, and a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort. 

    During the procedure, Dr. Schwarzburg uses a dermapen to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. After the microneedling session, a customized serum is applied to hydrate and soothe the skin, promoting optimal healing and results.

    How Long Does It Take?

    The entire process, including consultation and numbing, takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

    What Is The Aftercare Following Microneedling?

    Proper post-treatment care is essential to achieve the best results from your microneedling session. After the procedure, apply a hydrating serum or cream to soothe and moisturize your skin. It’s crucial to avoid sun exposure and heat for the first 24-48 hours, as your skin will be more sensitive during this time. 

    Refrain from using retinol and alpha hydroxy acids for a week to prevent irritation and allow your skin to heal effectively. Following these guidelines will help maximize the benefits of your microneedling treatment and ensure optimal results.

    What is the Downtime?

    Most patients experience minimal downtime, with redness and mild swelling subsiding within 1-2 days.

    When Can I Apply Makeup?

    You can typically apply makeup 24 to 48 hours after the procedure, once the initial redness and sensitivity have subsided. This ensures that your skin heals effectively and reduces the risk of irritation or infection. Always use clean makeup brushes and opt for gentle, non-comedogenic makeup products to avoid clogging your pores and to maintain your skin’s newly rejuvenated appearance.

    Risks and Complications

    Microneedling is generally safe with minimal risks. Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and dryness. Serious complications like scarring or hyperpigmentation are rare when performed by a qualified professional like Dr. Schwarzburg.

    When Will I See the Results?

    You can expect to see initial improvements in your skin within a few days after your microneedling treatment. As the collagen production process continues, your skin will gradually become smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Optimal results typically appear over the course of 4-6 months, as your skin continues to regenerate and improve in texture and tone. This gradual transformation ensures long-lasting, natural-looking results that enhance your overall complexion.

    How Long Do Results Last?

    Results can last several months to a year, depending on your skin care regimen and follow-up treatments.

    How Many Sessions Will I Need?

    For best results, 3-6 sessions are typically recommended, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.

    Is Microneedling Safe?

    Yes, microneedling is FDA-approved and considered safe when performed by a qualified professional.

    Does Microneedling Hurt?

    A topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. Most patients experience minimal pain during the procedure and describe it as light pinpricks.

    What is the Cost of Microneedling?

    The cost of microneedling in NYC ranges from $500 to $1000 per session. This price can vary based on several factors, including the specific areas being treated, the extent of the skin concerns, and the expertise of the practitioner. At Skinly Aesthetics, you receive top-notch care from Dr. Schwarzburg, a board-certified cosmetic physician with extensive experience in microneedling and other advanced skin treatments.

    What Skin Concerns Can Different Microneedling Depths Treat?

    One of the key advantages of microneedling is the ability to precisely adjust the depth of needle penetration to address various skin concerns effectively. The depth of penetration is finely regulated from 0.3mm to 2.5mm, allowing for customized treatment plans tailored to your unique skin needs.

    • Shallow Penetration (0.3mm – 0.5mm): This depth is ideal for treating superficial skin issues such as fine lines, light pigmentation, and overall skin texture. It is also effective for enhancing the absorption of topical serums and skincare products.
    • Moderate Penetration (0.5mm – 1.0mm): Suitable for targeting moderate concerns like acne scars, enlarged pores, and more pronounced fine lines. This depth allows for deeper collagen induction while remaining minimally invasive.
    • Deep Penetration (1.0mm – 2.5mm): Reserved for more severe skin issues such as deep acne scars, significant sun damage, stretch marks, and advanced signs of aging. The deeper needles reach the lower layers of the skin, promoting intense collagen and elastin production for substantial rejuvenation and repair.

    By adjusting the needle depth based on your specific concerns, Dr. Schwarzburg ensures that each microneedling session is optimized for maximum efficacy, providing you with the best possible results for a radiant, youthful complexion.

    What Are Different Types of Microneedling?

    • Traditional Dermapen Microneedling: Standard treatment for general skin improvement.
    • Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling: Combines RF energy with microneedling for enhanced skin tightening and rejuvenation.
    • Microneedling with PRP: Uses platelet-rich plasma for added healing and regenerative benefits.

    What Are Other Treatments To Combine With Microneedling?

    Microneedling can be effectively paired with a variety of complementary treatments to enhance its benefits and achieve a more comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Here are some popular options:

    • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Using your own blood’s platelets and growth factors, PRP boosts healing and collagen production when combined with microneedling, leading to more significant improvements in skin texture and tone.
    • Botox and Dermal Fillers: For a comprehensive anti-aging approach, combine microneedling with Botox to relax fine lines and wrinkles, and dermal fillers like Juvederm or Restylane to restore volume and contour. This addresses both surface texture and deeper structural concerns.
    • Chemical Peels and Laser Treatments: For more severe skin issues like deep scars, sun damage, or hyperpigmentation, combining microneedling with chemical peels or Fraxel laser treatments can be highly effective. Chemical peels exfoliate and remove damaged skin layers, while laser treatments target deeper skin concerns.

    Is Microneedling Worth It?

    Absolutely! Microneedling offers significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance with minimal downtime.
