What Can I Expect During a Microneedling Treatment?
Unveiling the Microneedling Journey: A Step-by-Step Guide to Younger-Looking Skin
Hi everyone, Nyree Van Maarseveen here, WHNP and CNM, and the owner of Beauty Energy Exchange Aesthetics and Wellness in Point Loma, San Diego! We're passionate about helping you to look beautiful and feel radiant, and that includes offering cutting-edge treatments like microneedling.
Microneedling has become a popular non-surgical option for improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles, and promoting a more youthful appearance.
But what can you expect during a microneedling treatment at Beauty Energy Exchange? Let's walk through the process step-by-step to ensure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Step 1: Comfort First – Applying Numbing Cream
Our priority is your comfort! Before we begin the microneedling procedure, we'll apply a topical numbing cream to your face. This typically takes about 15-20 minutes to take effect, ensuring minimal discomfort throughout the treatment.
During this time, we'll discuss your goals for microneedling and answer any questions you may have. It's a great opportunity to chat and ensure you feel completely at ease.
Step 2: Preparing for Precision – Cleansing and Sanitation
Once the numbing cream has done its magic, we'll gently remove it and thoroughly cleanse your face. This meticulous cleansing process is crucial to minimize the risk of infection and ensure a safe and effective treatment.
Step 3: The Microneedling Magic – Unveiling the DP4 Microneedling Pen
At Beauty Energy Exchange Aesthetics and Wellness, we're proud to utilize the DP4 Microneedling Pen, a state-of-the-art tool designed to deliver optimal results. This innovative pen boasts several unique advantages:
Increased Needle Count: Compared to traditional microneedling pens with 12 needles or less, the DP4 features a staggering 16 needles. This allows for more precise microchannels to be created in your skin, maximizing product absorption and collagen stimulation.
Enhanced Speed: The DP4 vibrates at an impressive 104% faster rate than other microneedling pens. This translates to creating more microchannels in a shorter amount of time, minimizing your treatment duration while maximizing its effectiveness.
During the microneedling process itself, we'll apply hyaluronic acid or your own PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to your face. This topical application serves two purposes:
Smooth Gliding: The hyaluronic acid or PRP acts as a lubricant, allowing the DP4 pen to glide effortlessly over your skin, minimizing friction and discomfort.
Enhanced Penetration: As the microneedling pen creates microchannels in your skin, the hyaluronic acid or PRP can penetrate deeper, reaching the targeted layers where they can stimulate collagen production and promote healing.
While you may experience a slight warmth and a scratching or pulling sensation during the treatment, the numbing cream should significantly minimize any pain. The entire procedure typically takes only 10-15 minutes, making it a quick and effective way to rejuvenate your skin.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care – Embracing the Renewal Process
Immediately following your microneedling treatment, your skin will likely appear red and swollen. This is a perfectly normal reaction and typically subsides within 2-3 days. You may also experience some pinpoint bleeding or bruising, especially in the delicate undereye area. These temporary side effects can take a bit longer to heal completely, but rest assured, they will fade away, revealing your radiant, renewed skin beneath.
We'll provide you with detailed post-treatment instructions to ensure optimal healing and minimize discomfort. These typically include recommendations for gentle skincare practices, sun protection, and avoiding strenuous activity for a short period.
Unlocking Your Skin's Potential with Microneedling at Beauty Energy Exchange Aesthetics and Wellness
Microneedling offers a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful, radiant complexion. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling triggers your body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular renewal. This translates to visible improvements in the texture, tone, and overall health of your skin.

If you're considering microneedling or any other treatment to address your skin concerns, we encourage you to schedule a complimentary consultation.

In Addition to Microneedling: Exploring a Symphony of Services for Radiant Skin
Microneedling is a powerful tool for rejuvenating your skin, but it's just one note in the beautiful symphony of services we offer at Beauty Energy Exchange Aesthetics and Wellness. Here are some additional options you can explore to achieve your unique skincare goals:
Chemical Peels: For concerns like uneven skin tone, sun damage, or fine lines, chemical peels offer a controlled exfoliation process. We carry the VI Peel (Vitality Institute) and choose the best type of peel to achieve your desired results. These peels remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion underneath.
Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are injectable gels that plump up specific areas of the face, adding volume and definition. Fillers can be used to address a variety of concerns, including:
Plumping up thin lips
Smoothing out wrinkles and lines (including those around the mouth and nose)
Enhancing cheekbones and jawline
Minimizing the appearance of under-eye hollows
When combined with microneedling, fillers can create a more harmonious and youthful overall look.
Botox (and Other Neuromodulators): While microneedling addresses texture and tone, Botox tackles wrinkles caused by muscle movement. By strategically injecting a purified protein, Botox relaxes targeted muscles, softening the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. This can be particularly helpful for frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow's feet.
Medical-Grade Skin Care Products: A consistent skincare routine with high-quality medical-grade products is crucial for maintaining healthy, radiant skin. At Beauty Energy Exchange Aesthetics and Wellness, we carry a curated selection of medical-grade skincare lines formulated with potent ingredients to address various concerns. These products can work synergistically with in-office treatments like microneedling to further enhance and maintain your results.
We believe in a comprehensive approach to skincare, and during your consultation, we'll discuss your goals and recommend a personalized combination of treatments and skincare products to achieve optimal results.
