Should You Do At-Home Microneedling?

Microneedling is trending on TikTok and getting buzz as an easy, at-home way to freshen the appearance of your skin. But is at-home microneedling your best bet? While it may deliver good results for some people, many people who try at-home microneedling come away disappointed. For maximum safety and professional results, trust your microneedling treatment to one of our experienced medical spa staff members!

The Downsides of Microneedling at Home

Microneedling devices you can buy at home are not capable of delivering the results of more robust systems like the Rejuvapen™ we offer in our office. But more importantly, there is a safety risk that comes along with do-it-yourself microneedling if you are not careful. Recent media reports shared that Australian Big Brother star Tilly Whitfield ended up with a skin infection causing inflammation and redness following at-home microneedling. 

If a celebrity ended up with poor results, you can be certain that many other average people who have tried to improve their skin with microneedling at home have also been at best disappointed and at worst had results that needed medical attention.

Professional Microneedling Is Safe

Thankfully there is an easy way to avoid bad results from microneedling – trust our professional team and equipment to deliver safe and satisfying results! Microneedling can be a very effective way to improve signs of aging, sun damage, scars and other blemishes, which is why it is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments at the moment.

Having a professional microneedling treatment is very easy – treatments are completed in about 30 to 60 minutes, and you should feel and look fully recovered within 24 hours or less.
