Lidocaine ointment on the skin for 30 minutes prior to the actual treatment to make it pain free. Immediately after the treatment the skin will appear red and as the numbing wears off a slight stinging, much like sunburn, will be felt. Each person experiences the after affects of microneedling differently. The redness may last from a few hours to a few days. Your session includes a 20 min LED Light Therapy to calm the skin and reduce redness.
