Booking for microneedling in Geneva
Microneedling or Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment during which a dermaroller or dermapen fitted with fine needles (“microneedles”) makes tiny punctures in the skin. These controlled microlesions stimulate both the natural renewal of the skin and the formation of collagen and elastin in the connective tissue. Thus, in the long term, wrinkles and fine lines, stretch marks, pigment spots, pimple marks, and acne scars can be reduced and the skin firmed as a whole.
Helps with: Various skin problems like age spots, pimple marks, scars, and acne scars, as well as fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, and sagging skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
One of the main advantages of microneedling is its many possibilities for use throughout the body.
As the epidermis remains intact, microneedling can also be used on areas that are not suitable for laser treatments or deep chemical peels, such as sensitive areas around the eyes and mouth, hands, or chin.
Even deep skin areas can be affected by needle pricks and scars, and acne scars can thus be treated.

Microneedling consists of stimulating the natural regeneration of the skin through controlled microlesions.
Each needle prick creates a microscopic channel in the skin.
The skin perceives this channel as a loss of tissue and begins to produce new skin cells, as well as collagen and elastin, in order to fill it and regenerate itself.
Since collagen is the main structural protein in connective tissue, an increase in collagen production can make skin firmer and more toned.

In principle, the pricks of the fine needles feel slightly stinging.
Whether they may be painful or cause small bleeding depends on the length of the needles.
We distinguish between cosmetic microneedling, whose effect is rather superficial, and dermatological microneedling, which can go up to 3 mm deep.
For deeper treatments, a numbing cream is usually applied to reduce pain.
Immediately after microneedling treatment, the skin may be red and slightly swollen.
These after-effects usually subside within a day, but can last up to a week before disappearing completely.
As the skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun after microneedling, it must be protected from the sun with a sufficiently high sunscreen.

The number of microneedling sessions depends on the desired effect and the length of the needle used.
The first results can certainly be seen after a single session, but for optimal results from microneedling, it is generally recommended to carry out 3 to 5 sessions at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks, followed by a treatment program.
Please note: Like many minimally invasive cosmetic treatments, microneedling temporarily increases the skin's sensitivity to the sun.
It is therefore advisable to choose a time for your microneedling session when UV exposure is as low as possible, at best during the dark season.

Depending on the skin area, a treatment lasts between 75 and 120 minutes.
Depending on the condition of the skin, several sessions are necessary, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
