The bloody truth about Microneedling

When it comes to Microneedling there’s a fine line between creating collagen production through a controlled injury, and causing too much inflammation, which can accelerate the aging process of skin.

According to Dr. Lance Setterfield, the “guru” of microneedling, *sufficient time is needed between treatments to avoid fibrosis (scarring) and PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation). At Get Beautified 4-6 weeks is protocol between visits. “Less is more” applies to an effective outcome.
