Is Microneedling Painful?

One of the biggest reasons people balk at undergoing a cosmetic rejuvenation procedure is pain potential. “Will it hurt?” is in the top five most frequently asked questions surrounding Microneedling. Anything with the word “needle” in it can make us hesitate. So really, is Microneedling painful?

How Does Microneedling Work?

To answer the question thoroughly, let’s first look at what Microneedling treatments do for our skin. At-home or less reliable derma rollers may bend, break, or rust, causing scarring or infection worse than the skin concerns we’re trying to treat. SkinPen® is different. It’s a MicroNeedling device whose needles are sterile and precisely engineered to pierce the skin at a 90-degree angle for optimal results. Microneedling is an effective solution for skin texture issues, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and rosacea.

Collagen is our body’s most prolific protein and is our skin’s biggest support system. Time, age, and sun damage dry out our collagen, make it stretch, and keep new collagen from forming as quickly as it once did. Microneedling is designed to create tiny micro-injuries in the derma, prompting a healing response and kickstarting new skin cell and collagen growth, as well as softening and minimizing scar tissue. This rebuilding process replaces tired, aged skin with a healthy, smooth complexion. And Microneedling isn’t just for the face. It can be performed on the neck, arms, décolletage, hands, legs, abdomen, and back. Anywhere you want touchably soft, glowing skin.

Am I a Good Candidate?

MicroNeedling’s success isn’t dependent on a skin type or pigmentation, so most all skin types, textures, and tones can benefit. Not all types of scarring can be reduced with MicroNeedling, so your Rejuve Med-Spa consultant will be happy to assess your skin and address your concerns.

Does Microneedling Hurt?

Every patient has a different tolerance for pain, but at Rejuve Med-Spa, we can minimize this for you. At every Microneedling session, you have the option of receiving topical anesthetic cream for maximum comfort. There’s going to be some sensitivity when needles are penetrating the skin, and while patients report that it’s uncomfortable, they also say it’s tolerable.
