How Many Microneedling Sessions Do You Need?

The number of microneedling sessions needed varies with what you are treating, how your skin responds and the type of micro needling used. While most experience some brightness immediately post-treatment, the tangible results – glowier skin or a softened scar are often cumulative.

Typical microneedling course

Some of the clinics suggest a total of 3 treatments for overall skin rejuvenation, at intervals of between 4 to 6 weeks. This allows your skin to rest and recover, as well as produce new collagen before you begin another session.

Stiffer issues might require the following steps:

Scars (acne scars usually multiple for perfection, often more for deep scarring)

Mild wrinkles and ageing: average 3 – 5 treatments

Pigmentation on cheeks to fade slightly – 3 – 6 sessions depending on the cause and any uneven skin tone.

Enlarged pores and texture: 3 – 4 treatments typically.

Why spacing matters

The way microneedling works is it creates induced controlled micro-injuries that lead to a process of normal repair. Overlapping sessions too much will only aggravate the skin and not allow enough time for it to recover. How far apart though will affect the rate of this progress.

Maintenance sessions

After a course, many will then book in an additional top-up treatment every 3 – 6 months, this is especially popular with those looking for collagen building or full skin quality.

A consultation is the optimal way to acquire an action plan. A good clinic will analyse your skin, describe what is achievable and adapt the number of sessions to suit how far you want to go within your budget.
