Microneedling FAQs
1. What is microneedling?
- Microneedling is a skin treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping improve texture, tone, and overall health.
2. What skin concerns does microneedling help with?
- Fine lines
- Acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation
- Large pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Stretch marks
3. Does microneedling hurt?
- Most clients experience minimal discomfort. A numbing cream is typically applied before the treatment to keep you comfortable as much as possible.
4. How long does the treatment take?
- About 45-60 minutes, depending on the area treated.
5. What is downtime?
- Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24-72 hours. Some clients may experience light peeling or dryness for a few days.
6. How many sessions will I need?
- For best results a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. This varies based on your skin goals.
7. When will I see results?
- You may notice a glow within a few days, but collagen production takes time. Full results typically appear within 4-6 weeks after each session.
8. Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
- Yes, microneedling is generally safe for most skin types and tones when performed by a trained professional.
9. What should I avoid after treatment?
- Sun exposure
- Sweating (gym/sauna) for 24-48 hours
- Makeup for 24 hours
- Active skincare (Retinol, acids) for a few days.
10. Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
- It's best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to heal.
11. Is there anything I should do before my appointment?
- Avoid retinol, exfoliants, and sun exposure for a few days before your treatment. Come with clean skin, if possible.
12. Who should NOT get microneedling?
- Clients who are pregnant, have active acne, infections, open wounds, or certain skin conditions may need to avoid or postpone treatment.
13. Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
- Yes! It's often paired with serums, growth factors, or PRP therapy (aka "Vampire Facial") for enhanced results.
14. Is microneedling worth it?
- For many clients, yes. It's a powerful, non-invasive way to improve skin quality with minimal downtime.
15. Why is it important to wear sunscreen after microneedling?
- Microneedling creates tiny micro-channels in the skin, which temporarily weakens your skin barrier. That means UV rays can penetrate more deeply and cause damage much faster than usual.
Nanoinfusion FAQs
1. What is Nano Infusion?
- Nano infusion is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses a device with tiny silicone or stainless-steel tips to create superficial micro-channels in the skin, allowing better absorption of serums.

3. What skin concerns does nano infusion help with?
- Dull or dehydrated skin
- Fine lines
- Uneven tone
- Mild pigmentation
- Enlarged pores
4. Does nano infusion hurt?

6. How long does the treatment take?
- Usually about 45-60 minutes.

9. How often should I get nano infusion?
- Every 2-4 weeks is ideal, depending on your skin goals and routine.
10. Is nano infusion safe for all skin types?
- Yes, it is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin, since it's non-invasive.

- Heavy sweating for 24 hours
- Direct sun exposure
- Harsh skincare (retinol, acids) for 2-3 days.
13. What products are used during nano infusion?
- Customized serums such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, and brightening ingredients are infused into the skin. Serums will depend on client's needs.
14. Can nano infusion be combined with other treatments?
- Yes! It pairs well with facials, LED light therapy, and even mild chemical exfoliation (when appropriate)
15. Is nano infusion worth it?

Sunscreen After Facial Treatments FAQs
1. Why is sunscreen so important after a facial or advanced treatment?
- After treatments, your skin is more sensitive and vulnerable to UV damage. Sunscreen protects against irritation, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging while preserving your results.

- After advanced treatments (like micro needling or deeper peels): Typically after 24 hours, or as advised by your esthetician.
