You’ll start to notice an improvement in skin texture and tone within a week after your treatment with microneedling in Monterey. However, the full benefits of microneedling start to develop over several weeks as your skin’s collagen production increases. With multiple sessions, your skin continues to rejuvenate, leading to a firmer, more even complexion within a few weeks after completing your treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling is well-tolerated by most patients. Before your treatment, we apply a numbing cream that helps minimize any discomfort. It’s normal to feel a mild tingling or scratching sensation, but any redness or sensitivity typically fades within a few days.
One of the great advantages of microneedling is that it requires little to no downtime. Some redness and mild sensitivity may occur for the first 24 to 48 hours, but most patients return to daily activities immediately. Using gentle skincare and sunscreen can help you protect and enhance your results.
