Before the start of treatment, a numbing cream will be applied over the treatment area, which takes an average of 30 minutes for the area to be numbed. Once the area has been numbed, a sterile single-use cartridge containing 14 microneedles is attached to the MicroPen EVO that will then gently glide over your skin until the entire treatment area has been covered.

The actual treatment itself typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes depending upon the size of the area.

With the MicroPen EVO being a non-invasive cosmetic procedure, there is little to no downtime: this allows patients to seek treatment every 1 to 2 months depending upon the nature of the desired results. If your goal is to resolve specific skin impurities, you may need between 3 to 6 treatments at 4-6 week intervals.

Although Microneeding is ideal for all skin types, the following conditions should not use the MicroPen EVO:

• Active skin cancer in the treatment area(s)
• Actively using a product containing isotretinoin (such as Accutane)
• Allergic to stainless steel or anesthetics
• Hemorrhagic (bleeding) disorder and/or hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction
• Open wounds, sores, or irritated skin in the treatment area(s)
• Pregnant and/or nursing
