MICRONEEDLING
a minimally invasive procedure for your skin. Your Browns & Co skincare specialist uses thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. These proteins keep your skin firm and smooth. Microneedling is one of our most popular add ons. You can also get microneedling on your legs, back, neck or other areas where you notice damaged or aging skin. Your specislist may recommend multiple sessions to achieve the desired results

1. Avoid direct sun exposure: It is important to protect your skin from excessive sun exposure before undergoing microneedling. Avoid tanning beds and prolonged sun exposure, and always use broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF.
2. Discontinue use of certain products: Stop using any retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) a few days before your microneedling treatment. These ingredients can make your skin more sensitive during the procedure.
3. Avoid blood-thinning medications: If you are taking blood-thinning medications, consult with your healthcare provider about whether you should temporarily discontinue them prior to the treatment. This can help minimize the risk of excessive bleeding or bruising.
4. Keep your skin clean: Ensure that your skin is clean and free of any makeup, creams, or lotions on the day of your microneedling appointment. This allows for better penetration of the treatment and reduces the risk of infection.
1. Protect your skin from the sun: After microneedling, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF and avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and protective clothing when outdoors.
2. Avoid harsh products and treatments: For the first few days following microneedling, avoid using any harsh skincare products, such as retinoids, AHAs, or BHAs. These can irritate the skin and delay the healing process.
3. Keep your skin hydrated: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturiser to keep your skin moisturised and help with the healing process. Avoid products with potentially irritating ingredients, such as fragrances or alcohol.
4. Avoid picking or scratching: Let your skin heal naturally and avoid picking or scratching at the treated areas. This can lead to scarring or infection.
5. Minimise makeup and skincare routine: For the first 24-48 hours after microneedling, it’s best to avoid applying makeup or using any other skincare products, unless specifically recommended by your Browns & Co specialist.
6. Follow post-treatment instructions: Your Browns & Co specialist will provide you with specific post-care instructions based on your individual needs. It’s important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing and results.
FAQ
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves creating micro-injuries on the skin using a device with tiny needles. This stimulates the natural healing process of the skin, leading to collagen and elastin production, and can improve the appearance of various skin concerns.
Microneedling can provide several benefits, including:
– Reducing the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
– Improving skin texture and tone.
– Minimising fine lines and wrinkles.
– Enhancing the absorption of skincare products.
– Stimulating collagen and elastin production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
– Treating hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
Microneedling is generally safe for all skin types. However, individuals with certain skin conditions, such as active acne, eczema, or rosacea, may not be suitable candidates. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider or a qualified professional to determine if microneedling is suitable for your specific skin concerns and condition.
During the microneedling procedure, you may experience some discomfort or mild pain, depending on your pain tolerance and the depth of the needles used. However, a topical numbing cream is often applied before the treatment to minimise any discomfort. Most people find the procedure tolerable and compare the sensation to a mild prickling or vibrating sensation.
The results of microneedling are not immediate and vary from person to person. Some individuals may start noticing improvements in their skin texture and appearance within a few days to a week after the treatment. However, for more significant results, multiple sessions are usually recommended, spaced a few weeks apart. The full benefits of microneedling can continue to develop over several weeks as the skin’s natural healing process takes place.
After microneedling, you may experience some temporary side effects, such as redness, mild swelling, and sensitivity. These usually subside within a few days. It’s important to follow post-care instructions provided by your Browns & Co specialist to ensure proper healing. The downtime can vary depending on the depth of the treatment and individual healing factors, but most people can resume their normal activities within 24hrs.
After microneedling, it’s important to follow a proper post-care routine, which may include keeping the treated area clean, avoiding direct sun exposure, avoiding harsh skincare products, and keeping the skin moisturised. Your specialist will provide you with specific post-care instructions based on your individual needs.
The frequency of microneedling treatments depends on your specific skin concerns and the recommendations of your healthcare provider. Generally, a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results. After the initial treatment series, maintenance sessions may be advised to sustain the results.
