What to Expect with Mesotherapy Microneedling

During the Procedure

Before the treatment begins, Regenerative Medical Institute will cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. Once the numbing cream has taken effect (usually after 15-30 minutes), the microneedling process starts. A specialized device with tiny, fine needles is used to create microchannels in the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and encourage collagen production.

Simultaneously, a customized blend of mesotherapy ingredients (such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, peptides, and growth factors) is applied to the skin. The microchannels created by the microneedles allow these potent nutrients to penetrate deeply into the skin, enhancing their effectiveness. The entire procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

After the Procedure

Immediately following the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. You might also experience some minor swelling or tightness. These side effects are normal and typically subside within a few hours to a day. Most people can return to their normal activities right after the treatment, though it’s recommended to avoid direct sun exposure, vigorous exercise, or harsh skincare products for at least 24 hours.

Regenerative Medical Institute may recommend applying a gentle moisturizer or hydrating serum to soothe the skin and aid in recovery. You’ll also be advised to wear sunscreen and avoid exfoliating treatments while your skin heals.

Results

Results from microneedling with mesotherapy become noticeable after a few days as the skin begins to heal and regenerate. Over the next few weeks, you’ll notice improvements in skin texture, tone, and hydration. Fine lines will appear softened, scars and pigmentation will begin to fade, and your skin will look plumper and more radiant. Collagen production continues to increase in the weeks following treatment, leading to ongoing improvements in skin elasticity and firmness.

For optimal results, most Greenville patients undergo a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. As your skin continues to improve, periodic maintenance treatments can help sustain your rejuvenated appearance for the long term.

Microneedling with Mesotherapy FAQs

Is microneedling with mesotherapy painful?

While microneedling involves the use of tiny needles, most Greenville patients find the treatment to be tolerable. A topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. You may feel a mild pricking sensation during the procedure, but it’s generally not painful. After treatment, there may be some slight redness and sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a day.

How many mesotherapy microneedling will I need to see results?

The number of sessions required varies depending on your individual skin concerns and goals. For most people, noticeable improvements are seen after 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Some clients may require fewer treatments, while others may opt for ongoing sessions to maintain results and continuously improve skin texture and tone.

What is the recovery time for mesotherapy microneedling treatments?

Recovery time is typically minimal. You may experience redness, slight swelling, or mild skin sensitivity immediately after the procedure, which usually resolves within 24 to 48 hours. In some cases, mild peeling may occur as the skin regenerates. Most Greenville patients are able to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment, though it’s recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and intense physical activity for the first 24 hours.

Are there any risks or side effects with mesotherapy microneedling treatments?

Side effects are rare but may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild skin irritation. These are typically short-lived and subside within a few days. Microneedling with mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure, and when performed by a qualified professional, the risks are low. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions and avoid harsh skincare products or sun exposure in the days following treatment to ensure optimal healing.

Who is a good candidate for microneedling with mesotherapy?

Microneedling with mesotherapy is suitable for most skin types and is especially beneficial for Greenville patients looking to address concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and dullness. However, those with active skin infections, severe acne, or certain skin conditions (like eczema or psoriasis) should consult with Regenerative Medical Institute to determine if this treatment is right for them. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are generally advised to avoid this treatment as well.
