How Long Does Microneedling Take?
Do you want to have a more radiant-looking and even facial skin tone? And do you want to diminish skin damage from acne scarring or perhaps aren’t happy with the prominent appearance of fine lines and wrinkles?
One cosmetic treatment that serves to tackle such problems and create a healthier complexion is microneedling. It’s one of the most common procedures carried out by The Refinery Medspa & Wellness in our West Melbourne, FL treatment center.

What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a versatile cosmetic treatment that gives patients a refreshed, youthful look. The process of microneedling first involves a topical numbing cream applied to the treatment areas. Next, our expert esthetician will glide a microneedling device across the skin.
The tool used contains microneedles (hence the name for the treatment), each as thin as a strand of hair. Applying this device across the skin creates controlled wounds to the upper layers of your facial skin.
Those ‘micro injuries’ will stimulate your body’s natural healing processes to produce new collagen and elastin proteins. The result is facial skin that feels refreshed, looks excellent, and diminishes many cosmetic concerns like acne scarring and wrinkles.
Microneedling or collagen induction therapy, as it’s sometimes known, will typically create optimal results over a series of treatment sessions, spaced around four to six weeks apart.
How Long Are Microneedling Treatments?
Each microneedling treatment session takes around 45 minutes to complete. When you have this collagen induction therapy from The Refinery Medspa & Wellness, you won’t feel any pain or discomfort due to the topical numbing cream we apply first to your face.
If you opt for other cosmetic treatments at the same time as microneedling, such as dermaplaning, your total treatment time might be slightly longer.
Typical Microneedling Treatment Plans
A typical microneedling treatment plan will incorporate three to six sessions, spaced around four to six weeks apart. As with most cosmetic treatments, our clients will get the full benefits of microneedling by having a series of treatment sessions.
Each client has specific cosmetic needs and concerns to address, so you’ll benefit from a customized treatment plan to suit your requirements.
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that encourages significant collagen production. Collagen is an essential protein naturally produced by your body, and part of its job is to provide structure and elasticity to your skin.
Each microneedling treatment session only takes 45 minutes to complete, and you can carry on with the rest of your day afterward. Downtime is minimal, with only redness on your facial skin for a few days after your treatment.
Am I a Candidate for Microneedling?
You might be a candidate for microneedling if your skin has lost its natural glow and you wish to gain a more youthful appearance. Microneedling is also suitable if your facial skin has imperfections such as acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
