Novomed in Abu Dhabi offers microneedling, a treatment designed to improve skin texture, boost collagen production, and address concerns such as acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. Following a consultation with a specialized dermatologist, the treatment will be tailored to your specific needs and aesthetic goals.

Who needs microneedling treatment?

Microneedling may be suitable for people who want to improve skin texture and address concerns such as:

  • Acne scars: To help reduce the appearance of certain types of acne scarring.
  • Fine lines and wrinkles: To support collagen production and improve skin texture.
  • Enlarged pores: To help improve the appearance of visible pores.
  • Uneven skin tone and texture: To promote smoother-looking skin.
  • Mild skin laxity: To support skin firmness.
  • Stretch marks: To help improve their appearance in selected cases.

Who should avoid microneedling?

People with active skin infections, inflamed acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions should postpone treatment or seek medical advice. A clinician should also assess people with a history of keloid scarring, impaired wound healing, or recent use of treatments that may affect skin recovery.

At Novomed in Abu Dhabi, a medical consultation can help determine whether microneedling is appropriate for your skin concerns and treatment goals. Results vary depending on skin condition and the treatment plan.

FAQ

1. Is 2 sessions of microneedling enough?

Two sessions may provide noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone, but they may not be enough to address concerns such as deeper acne scars or more pronounced skin damage. The number of sessions depends on your skin condition, treatment goals, and response to treatment. Your clinician can recommend a suitable treatment plan.

2. What does your face look like 48 hours after microneedling?

Around 48 hours after microneedling, the skin may still appear mildly red, feel sensitive, or have slight swelling or dryness. These effects generally improve over the following days, although recovery varies depending on treatment intensity and individual skin response. Contact your clinician if you experience worsening pain, significant swelling, or signs of infection.

3. What should I avoid after microneedling?

After microneedling, avoid direct sun exposure, tanning, harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and products containing irritating active ingredients until your skin has recovered and your clinician advises that they can be resumed. Avoid picking or scratching the skin, and follow the recommended skincare and sun-protection instructions.

4. Is microneedling just as good as Botox?

Microneedling and Botox address different concerns, so one is not necessarily better than the other. Microneedling stimulates the skin’s repair process and may improve texture, acne scars, and fine lines. Botox relaxes targeted muscles to reduce the appearance of expression lines, such as forehead lines and crow’s feet. The appropriate option depends on your concerns and medical assessment.

5. What is the best age to start microneedling?

There is no single best age to start microneedling. Suitability depends on the skin concern being treated, skin condition, medical history, and clinician assessment rather than age alone. It may be considered for concerns such as acne scars or uneven texture when clinically appropriate.
