Microneedling like any other procedure carries certain risks and benefits. If you’re unsure whether the treatment is good for you, here are some advantages and drawbacks to consider.
Pro #1: It’s Affordable
Professional microneedling treatments range in price from $500 to $1,200. The cost is determined by several variables, including your skin type, the areas to be treated, and the number of treatments required. That’s a good bargain in comparison to the high cost of laser resurfacing, repeated Botox injections, or a facelift.
You can save even more money if you perform this treatment at home using a derma roller. Though micro-needling will yield limited results at home, it is still worth a try for its affordability.
Pro #2: It is non-invasive
Microneedling is non-invasive, which eliminates the need for a recovery period. Most people require between 20 and 40 minutes for treatment and can immediately resume their normal activities.
Con #1: It can be a slow process
Microneedling results can take up to six weeks to become visible. Additionally, most people require two or more microneedling sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve the desired results. Numerous individuals will need a total of 4-5 treatment sessions. Keeping this in mind, it may take several months to see the full benefits of microneedling.
Con #2: It Has Some Adverse Effects
Microneedling is a relatively safe and effective procedure in the majority of cases. Some swelling, redness, or sensitivity is typical following the treatment and should subside within a few days. Certain patients may experience prolonged swelling, redness, flaking skin, infection, or scarring in sporadic cases.
