1. Does Microneedling Hurt?

Most people describe the sensation as mild and very tolerable. A light numbing cream can be applied if needed, but many clients are comfortable without it.


2. How Long Is the Recovery?

Redness is normal for the first day, and most clients look and feel back to normal within 24–48 hours. That’s why microneedling is often called a “minimal downtime” treatment.


3. How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Many clients see visible improvement after just one session, though best results often come from a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart.


4. Can I Wear Makeup After Microneedling?

It’s best to wait about 24 hours before applying makeup so the skin can fully recover. After that, most clients return to their normal routine.


5. What Are Key Benefits of Microneedling?

Microneedling is known for:

  • Improving overall skin texture and smoothness

  • Giving skin a brighter, more refreshed appearance

  • Supporting a firmer, youthful look

  • Enhancing the absorption of serums during treatment


Key Takeaway

Microneedling is approachable, effective, and increasingly popular because it delivers noticeable cosmetic results without major downtime. By preparing clear answers to these common questions, your clinic can help new clients feel informed and confident about booking their first session.
