Anyone in 's-Hertogenbosch looking for a way to make their skin firmer, more even and fresher soon arrives at microneedling. It is one of the most popular skin-improving treatments right now – but what exactly does it involve, who is it suitable for and what can you realistically expect? In this article we set it all out, so you can make a well-prepared choice.
What is microneedling in brief?
In microneedling, very fine needles create tiny channels in the top layer of the skin. Those small stimuli put the skin's natural repair processes to work, including the production of collagen – the substance that gives skin firmness and elasticity. It is a controlled way of giving the skin a nudge, as it were, to renew itself.
In an earlier article on this blog we explain how it works in more detail; here we stick to what you need to decide whether it's something for you and what to expect from a treatment in Den Bosch.
Which skin is microneedling suitable for?
Microneedling is used widely because it addresses different skin goals. It is especially appreciated by people who want to do something about the quality and texture of their skin, without an invasive treatment.
Uneven skin texture or coarse pores
Fine lines and loss of elasticity
Little scars from, for example, acne (in consultation)
Dull, tired skin that could use a boost
When is it better not to?
Not every skin or situation lends itself to microneedling at any given time. With an active skin infection, inflamed acne, open wounds or recently sunburnt or tanned skin we prefer to postpone the treatment. In case of pregnancy, certain medication (such as blood thinners) or skin conditions we first look together at whether it is responsible. That is why a programme with us always starts with an intake – precisely to have these things clear beforehand.
How does a treatment go?
A microneedling treatment begins with a thorough cleanse and a skin analysis. The skin is then treated, often in combination with nourishing serums that are absorbed better through the small channels. Many people find the treatment manageable; afterwards the skin is usually a bit red and warm, comparable to a mild bit of sun, and that generally fades within a day to a few days.
Afterwards you receive aftercare advice: no strong sun, sauna or intensive exercise in the first days, and extra attention to hydration and SPF. We tailor that advice to your skin and the intensity of the treatment.
One treatment or a course?
For a fresh pick-me-up one treatment can already be pleasant, but for real skin improvement a course of several sessions generally works better. The skin needs time between treatments to recover and build collagen. How many sessions make sense differs per skin and per goal – we discuss that honestly during the intake, without talking you into more than necessary.
What determines the price?
The price of microneedling mainly depends on the chosen variant and whether you take single treatments or a course. We work with different variants (for example a basic and a more extensive version), so there is a suitable option for your skin and budget. The current prices per treatment are always clearly listed on our prices page, so you never face surprises.
