How Treatment Works

1. Consultation & Skin Assessment

Your practitioner evaluates:

• Skin type
• Sensitivity
• Acne scarring severity
• Pigmentation risk
• Whether preparation is needed

Ocean Clinic notes some patients, especially darker skin tones or melasma-prone skin, may need skin preparation first.

2. Treatment Session

A microneedling pen glides across the skin while adjustable needles create precise channels.

• Treatment depth can vary by area
• Customised to concern treated
• Usually well tolerated with numbing cream

Ocean Clinic references 4th generation Dermapen-style technology with customisable depth and speed.

3. Results Timeline

• Immediate: fresher appearance possible
• Days: mild glow as redness settles
• Weeks: collagen-building improvement develops
• Ongoing: progressive results after a treatment course

Most patients recover quickly.

Typical Recovery Timeline

• Same day: Redness similar to mild sun exposure
• 1–3 days: Redness and mild swelling settle
• Next day onward: Makeup and sunscreen often permitted
• Weeks: Ongoing collagen improvement

Ocean Clinic notes downtime is usually minimal and life can often resume immediately.
