Everything you’ve ever wondered about Microneedling.

Microneedling: The Top 10 Most Questions

Mariana Herrera

7/9/2025

As someone who has spent years in the world of beauty, wellness, and skincare, I know how powerful the right treatment can be for your confidence. One of my favorite skin therapies — and one of the most asked-about in O.A. Clinic by Mariana Herrera — is Microneedling with Dermapen.

Let me walk you through the top 10 most common questions I get from clients every week, along with insights, benefits, and the reasons why Dermapen microneedling could be your skin’s new best friend.

1. What is microneedling, and how does it work?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates your skin’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production — the building blocks of firm, youthful skin.

🔹 Why it’s great: It activates your skin’s natural powers without injecting anything artificial. It’s beauty from within — literally.

2. What makes Dermapen better than a roller?

Dermapen is a motorized device that delivers precise, vertical punctures. Unlike old-school rollers, it doesn’t tug or tear the skin, which reduces trauma and gives better results.

🔹 Why it’s great: More precision means less downtime, better hygiene, and more effective collagen stimulation.

3. What skin issues can microneedling help with?

Dermapen is incredibly versatile. It treats:

  • Acne scars

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Stretch marks

  • Enlarged pores

  • Sun damage

  • Uneven skin tone or texture

🔹 Why it’s great: One treatment, many solutions — that’s why I recommend it for so many skin concerns.

4. Does microneedling hurt?

Most clients say it feels like a light scratching.

🔹 Why it’s great: It’s tolerable, quick, and clients usually say, “That wasn’t bad at all!”

5. How soon will I see results?

You’ll notice a natural glow within a few days, but real changes like smoother texture and reduced scars come after a few weeks. The skin needs time to regenerate, and the collagen boost builds over time.

🔹 Why it’s great: It’s progressive. You keep seeing improvement for weeks after your session.

6. How many sessions do I need?

We usually recommend a series of 3 to 5 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, for optimal results. However, even one session gives your skin a beautiful refresh.

🔹 Why it’s great: It’s customizable. You can target small concerns or do a full treatment plan — we’ll design it together.

7. Is microneedling safe for summer?

Yes! You just need to avoid sun exposure for a few days after and use SPF. Microneedling is a great way to reverse summer sun damage or prep your skin before vacations.

🔹 Why it’s great: You don’t have to wait until winter to start your skin journey.

8. What does the recovery process look like?

You might be a bit red for 24–48 hours, like after a sunburn. Some experience mild flaking. You can wear light makeup the next day and resume normal skincare after 2–3 days.

🔹 Why it’s great: Minimal downtime. No hiding at home — just gentle self-care.

9. Is it safe for all skin types?

Yes! In O.A. Clinic by mariana Herrera, we use Dermapen on all skin tones and types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It’s safe, non-invasive, and tailored to your needs.

🔹 Why it’s great: Inclusive beauty is a core value at our clinic. Everyone deserves glowing skin.

10. Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely! We love combining it with hyaluronic acid, LED therapy, or facial massage to enhance results. These boosts help your skin heal faster and glow deeper.

🔹 Why it’s great: Think of it as a personalized facial upgrade — and we’ll help you choose what’s best for your goals.
