How does the Microneedling/Mesotherapie lift session work at Beauty Art Pro

**Prior consultation**: You will have a consultation with the esthetician to discuss your concerns, goals and medical history. **Skin preparation**: The skin is deeply cleansed to remove impurities, makeup and oils. Combination with a steam session to open the pores of the skin, facilitating the elimination of impurities and dead cells. **Pore Cleansing with Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber**: Once the skin is prepped, the esthetician uses an ultrasonic device to perform a deep pore clean. This Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber uses ultrasonic vibrations to effectively remove dead cells, excess oil and impurities from skin pores. Next, a disinfectant solution is applied to sterilize the skin surface, ready for the next step. **Applying a numbing cream**: A numbing cream may be applied to the skin to reduce discomfort during treatment. It is usually left on the skin for around 20 minutes. **Microneedling**: Once the skin is cleansed and prepped, the esthetician uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create micro-punctures in the skin. These micro-perforations stimulate the skin's natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother skin. **Light therapy session**: At Beauty Art Pro after microneedling, you benefit from a light therapy session. Light therapy uses different wavelengths of light to treat different skin problems. For example, red light can help stimulate collagen production and reduce inflammation, while blue light can help fight acne by killing breakout-causing bacteria. **Application of specific products**: After the light therapy session, specific products can be applied to the skin to soothe and hydrate, as well as to maximize the benefits of the treatment. **Post-treatment care**: The esthetician will provide instructions on post-treatment care, including the use of soothing creams, sun protection and activity restrictions.

Who is microneedling suitable for?

One of the main advantages of microneedling is its many possibilities for use throughout the body. As the epidermis remains intact, microneedling can also be used on areas that are not suitable for laser treatments or deep chemical peels, such as sensitive areas around the eyes and mouth, hands, or chin. Even deep skin areas can be affected by needle pricks and scars, and acne scars can thus be treated.

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling consists of stimulating the natural regeneration of the skin through controlled microlesions. Each needle prick creates a microscopic channel in the skin. The skin perceives this channel as a loss of tissue and begins to produce new skin cells, as well as collagen and elastin, in order to fill it and regenerate itself. Since collagen is the main structural protein in connective tissue, an increase in collagen production can make skin firmer and more toned.

Is microneedling painful?

In principle, the pricks of the fine needles feel slightly stinging. Whether they may be painful or cause small bleeding depends on the length of the needles. We distinguish between cosmetic microneedling, whose effect is rather superficial, and dermatological microneedling, which can go up to 3 mm deep. For deeper treatments, a numbing cream is usually applied to reduce pain. Immediately after microneedling treatment, the skin may be red and slightly swollen. These after-effects usually subside within a day, but can last up to a week before disappearing completely. As the skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun after microneedling, it must be protected from the sun with a sufficiently high sunscreen.

When should you do microneedling?

The number of microneedling sessions depends on the desired effect and the length of the needle used. The first results can certainly be seen after a single session, but for optimal results from microneedling, it is generally recommended to carry out 3 to 5 sessions at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks, followed by a treatment program. Please note: Like many minimally invasive cosmetic treatments, microneedling temporarily increases the skin's sensitivity to the sun. It is therefore advisable to choose a time for your microneedling session when UV exposure is as low as possible, at best during the dark season.

How to care for the skin after microneedling

Skin treatment should be continued at home after microneedling. To achieve the best possible and lasting results, it is then essential to use effective care products. Always consult a doctor or skin care professional to agree on a suitable skin care routine.

How long is the treatment duration?

Depending on the skin area, a treatment lasts between 75 and 120 minutes.

How many sessions are good for me?

Depending on the condition of the skin, several sessions are necessary, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

Is microneedling safe?

Microneedling is considered safe. But like any procedure, it has risks. You could have an allergic reaction to the cream or serum that goes on your skin after the microneedling. And the wounds might get infected if you don't keep your skin clean.

Can I use all types of creams after the treatment?

After microneedling treatment, it is important to choose creams carefully to avoid further irritating already sensitive skin. Here are a few things to keep in mind: **Gentle Moisturizers**: Opt for gentle, non-irritating moisturizers, preferably those specially formulated for sensitive or post-treatment skin. Look for products without fragrance or dyes to reduce the risk of irritation. **Avoid creams that are too rich or oily**: Thick or rich creams can clog pores and cause breakouts. Choose lightweight formulas that don't clog pores and are easily absorbed by the skin. **Avoid creams with irritating ingredients**: Avoid creams with harsh ingredients such as alcohol, perfumes, dyes, or exfoliating acids, as they can further irritate the skin after microneedling treatment. **Opt for soothing products**: Look for creams with soothing ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, colloidal oatmeal, or hyaluronic acid. These ingredients can help calm the skin and reduce inflammation after treatment. Consult your practitioner: If you have any doubts about which products to use after your microneedling treatment, do not hesitate to ask your practitioner or esthetician for recommendations. They will be able to advise you on the best products suited to your skin type and your specific treatment.

Is the result permanent?

Yes, but as we get older, the skin breaks down more and more collagen. We cannot do anything about this, this is a normal process.

Read About This Service

microneedling

Microneedling or Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment during which a dermaroller or dermapen fitted with fine needles (“microneedles”) makes tiny punctures in the skin. These controlled microlesions stimulate both the natural renewal of the skin and the formation of collagen and elastin in the connective tissue. Thus, in the long term, wrinkles and fine lines, stretch marks, pigment spots, pimple marks, and acne scars can be reduced and the skin firmed as a whole.

Helps with: Various skin problems like age spots, pimple marks, scars, and acne scars, as well as fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, and sagging skin.
