It’s an effective non-surgical treatment that can be done comfortably with minimal downtime required.

To help you get started with microneedling therapy, we’ve created this comprehensive guide to cover everything you need to know. Follow the steps below for a successful experience:
1. Schedule an appointment:
The first step in getting started with microneedling is to schedule an appointment with a specialist at Better Life Clinics. Our experts will answer any questions you have and create a customized treatment plan for your individual skin concerns. Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that helps treat acne scars, surgical scars, aging skin, as well as fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, skin’s pigmentation sagging skin, and many more skin conditions.
2. Preparing for the procedure:
Before arriving for your appointment, it’s important to prepare properly. Avoid tanning or using products that could irritate the skin before the treatment as this can affect results. You should also avoid wearing makeup during the procedure and come freshly washed to ensure optimal results.
3. During the procedure:
Microneedling treatments typically last about 30 minutes and are relatively painless as we prepare your skin with topical anesthesia in the form of numbing cream at Better Life Clinics. The process involves using our FDA Cleared microneedling device that has tiny needles that penetrate the skin and create small wounds. These tiny holes will start healing and stimulate collagen production, Hence the name ‘Collagen Induction Therapy’ giving you more collagen and elastin matrix in your skin to improve your overall complexion.
4. Aftercare:
To ensure best results from microneedling treatments, it’s important to properly care for your skin afterwards. Avoid picking at any scabs or peeling skin as this could lead to scarring and infection. You should also avoid direct exposure to sunlight for a few days after treatment and use sunscreen regularly when outdoors in the future. Our Specialists will recommend starting a skin care routine based on your skin requirements.
