If you’ve been looking for a way to refresh your skin, reduce fine lines, minimize pores, or improve texture, microneedling may be the perfect solution. At Uplift Aesthetics in Oakdale, MN, our SkinPen microneedling treatments safely stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping your skin look healthier, firmer, and more radiant.
Here’s everything you need to know before, during, and after your session.
Before Your Microneedling Treatment
Preparation is key to getting the best results and minimizing downtime.
Tips for a smooth experience:
- Avoid sunburn or tanning for at least 2 weeks before your session. Also avoid sunless tanners.
- Stop using harsh exfoliants retinol, and other active skincare products 1 week prior.
- Let your provider know about any medications or skin conditions.
- Hydrate well — healthy skin responds better to treatment.
✨ Pro Tip: At Uplift Aesthetics, our team will customize your SkinPen session to your skin type and goals, ensuring optimal results.
During Your Microneedling Session
Microneedling uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing process and encourages collagen production.
What to expect:
- A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
- The SkinPen device gently glides across the treatment area.
- Most sessions last 30–60 minutes, depending on the area treated.
Results you may notice immediately: Slight redness and warmth, similar to a mild sunburn — completely normal and temporary.
After Your Microneedling Treatment
Post-care is essential for the best results and minimal irritation.
Tips for recovery:
- Avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ daily.
- Skip makeup for 24 hours to prevent irritation.
- Use gentle, hydrating skincare as recommended by your provider.
- Minor peeling or flaking may occur — this is a sign of skin renewal.
✨ Pro Tip: Combining SkinPen microneedling with professional serums can boost hydration, brighten your complexion, and accelerate results.
