Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates the skin's natural renewal through controlled micro-perforations. It suits dull skin, uneven texture and depressed acne scars.
Who this treatment is for
- A dull complexion that lacks radiance.
- Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores.
- Fine surface lines.
- Atrophic acne scars, meaning scars that sit in a hollow.
- Skin you want to stimulate at depth, as the treatment acts on collagen production.
How a session unfolds
- Make-up removal, gentle facial cleansing, a lukewarm rinse and drying with a clean compress.
- Disinfection of the area with an antiseptic suited to the face.
- A sterile hyaluronic acid glide is applied, which hydrates and reduces friction during the pass.
- The micro-needling pen is passed once or twice, evenly, at a depth adapted to each area of the face: shallower on the forehead and around the eyes, deeper on the cheeks and on targeted scars.
- Optionally, fifteen to twenty minutes of red and infrared LED, for its soothing and repairing effect straight after the treatment.
Duration and sensations
The appointment lasts 45 minutes, including fifteen to thirty minutes of actual treatment for a full face. Pressure stays light to moderate. What we are looking for is light, even redness, not bleeding: if your skin reacts more than expected, we adjust speed and depth during the session.
How many sessions, and how often
Microneedling works as a course, and the rhythm depends on your goal: maintaining radiance does not require the same follow-up as working on acne scars. The interval between sessions also depends on how deep the pass goes: nano-needling, being more superficial, can be repeated sooner than a deeper pass. Online booking applies a minimum of three weeks between sessions; if your protocol allows a closer rhythm, we agree it together during the assessment.
Indicative protocol : 4 séances espacées de 3 semaines.
