What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a gentle, minimally invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating its natural healing process. It works by creating controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, which stimulate the body’s wound-healing process—boosting the production of collagen and elastin, two vital proteins responsible for maintaining skin’s firmness, elasticity, and smooth texture. This increase in collagen helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other imperfections, leaving the complexion firmer, more even, and youthful-looking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Microneedling Sessions Are Needed to See Results?

Because microneedling works by activating your skin’s natural healing process, results develop gradually rather than instantly. While some improvement may be noticeable after just one session, most people achieve optimal results after a series of three to four treatments. To allow the skin time to heal and regenerate, sessions are typically spaced about four weeks apart.

How long do results last?

How long your results last can depend on your age, skin type, and how your skin responds to the treatment. While microneedling helps build new collagen that stays in the skin, it doesn't stop the natural aging process. To keep their skin looking its best, some people choose maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months.

Does microneedling hurt?

Microneedling may cause some mild discomfort, but most people find the treatment very manageable. You might feel a light prickling or scratching sensation during the procedure. The level of discomfort can vary depending on your individual sensitivity and the area being treated, but it typically subsides quickly once the session is over.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes, microneedling pairs well with serums and LED therapy. At Bodhi Health and Wellness, all microneedling sessions include both LED light therapy and specially selected serums to enhance your results and support skin healing.
