Microneedling is a facial-care option for anyone who wants to give more focused attention to skin texture and overall appearance.
What it is
A salon-based facial care appointment that gives one specific priority closer attention. It's usually chosen to work on skin texture, visible pores, or the overall appearance of the face, as part of an ongoing facial care routine.
Common goals
It's usually chosen to work on skin texture, visible pores, or the overall appearance of the face, as part of an ongoing facial care routine.
Who it may suit
It may appeal to anyone looking for a facial treatment focused on skin texture rather than just cleansing or hydration. As with any device-based facial treatment, the final decision is made together with the Anaël team after assessing your skin.
Treatment areas
Applied mainly to the face, in areas assessed individually based on each person's goals.
What a typical appointment looks like
The appointment begins with a brief conversation about what you are looking for and how your skin feels that day. Before starting, the team explains the focus of the service and any relevant guidance.
What you might feel
The sensation during an in-salon facial treatment is usually gentle and well tolerated, though it varies depending on the technology used and the area treated. The team walks you through what to expect at your pre-session consultation.
Preparation
As a general guideline before a facial treatment, it's advisable to arrive with clean skin, without makeup if possible, and to mention any allergy, medication, or relevant skin condition to the team. The team adds any further guidance at your pre-treatment consultation.
Aftercare
After a facial treatment, a gentle care routine is usually recommended, with sun protection and avoiding irritating products in the following hours. The team gives you specific aftercare guidance at the end of the session, based on the area treated and your skin.
Some facial treatments can cause mild, temporary redness, similar to that of a deep facial cleanse. The team explains which reactions are common and how to care for your skin afterward.
A treatment adapted to you
Dermapen / Microneedling is not presented as a one-size-fits-all formula. The appointment starts with a clear conversation about your priority and the kind of care you are looking for.
If you are deciding between Dermapen / Microneedling and another option, the Anaël team can help you compare them before you book.
Alternatives at Anaël
Facial cleansing is often the starting point for maintenance; Hydrafacial has its own place in the facial-care menu; microneedling gives more attention to the conversation around texture. The team can help you compare these options based on what you are looking for.
Common reasons to consult
Usually sought out for uneven texture, visible pores, or superficial marks on the skin, as part of more targeted facial care than the everyday routine.
