Microneedling is suitable when you want to improve the overall quality, texture and freshness of your skin without changing facial features or volume. During the procedure, controlled micro-channels are created in the skin, triggering the skin's natural healing response and allowing the use of a serum matched to your skin's needs.
At City Tervisekliinik we combine microneedling with an individually selected restorative and nourishing serum. The choice of product depends on whether the main goal is hydration, evening out skin tone, preventing signs of ageing or reducing superficial post-acne changes.
When might microneedling be suitable?
- Dull and tired-looking skin
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and reduced elasticity
- Superficial post-acne scars
- Improving overall skin quality
How is the procedure performed?
Before the procedure the skin is cleansed and, if needed, a topical anaesthetic is applied. The skin is treated with a sterile microneedling device, with the needle depth chosen according to the area and the skin concern. A suitable serum and soothing aftercare are then applied to the skin.
The procedure usually takes 60–75 minutes. Afterwards the skin may be slightly red, warm or sensitive, and mild dryness or flaking may occur.
Results and treatment course
Skin renewal happens gradually. We usually recommend 3–4 treatments at 4–6-week intervals. How the result develops and the length of the course depend on the initial condition of the skin, the intensity of the procedure and individual healing.
After the procedure, avoid irritating the skin, intense heat and direct sun, and use a high-SPF sunscreen regularly.
