On top of microneedling’s ability to smooth and correct damaged skin, it also has the added bonus of tightening loose skin, which makes it great for older men and women. (Remember: The older you are, the less collagen you’re naturally producing.)

Older skin can also greatly benefit from the right fuel, so add these beauty foods to your diet to get that glow.
What care should be taken prior to the microneedling facial treatment?
- The skin should be makeup-free and cleaned thoroughly
- Avoid any auto-immune therapies or products 12 hours before the treatment
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure to the treatment area 24 hours before the treatment
What is the after-care you should keep in mind?
- You should stay away from the alcohol-based products for the first 24 hours as that can make your skin extremely dry
- Avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours
- Do not apply any sunscreen, tanning lotion or any other skincare products because your skin’s microchannels are open for a period of time and also because many of the skincare products have toxic ingredients
- Do not apply any kind of makeup for at least 12 hours
- Wash your face thoroughly after the microneedling facial treatment with Dermapen
- Avoid direct sun exposure for minimum 10 days

When you are going for microneedling treatment, you won’t get the results after the first treatment but will need multiple treatments. How many treatments you need depends upon which skin area you want to treat and what you want to achieve. Generally to treat basic skin problems, one will need three to six microneedling treatments for the best results.
If you want to treat the extreme sun damage, deep wrinkles or scars, you will have to go for 6 or more microneedling treatments.
Does Microneedling facial hurt?

Using the pen will just give you the tingling and the light prickly sensation. Obviously, you won’t feel good, but at the same time, there will be no pain at all. You will just have the temporary reddening for hardly 1-2 hours after the microneedling facial.
