Nour Skin Center offers microneedling on the Amerikaweg in Haarlem. Your practitioner creates minute openings in the upper skin layers using very fine needles. These trigger natural repair, including fresh collagen formation. Following a course of sessions, your complexion may look smoother and more refreshed.
Consultation: first we review your health, medicines, skin and wishes, deciding together whether microneedling is appropriate. Preparation: thorough cleaning and disinfection of your skin follow. Treatment: needle depth is selected for each skin area. All needles are sterile and used for one session only. Comfort: we finish by applying a calming skincare product. Guidance: you leave with home-care instructions, and we consider whether another appointment would be worthwhile.
If a fresher or smoother complexion is your aim, microneedling may be an option, including for: small lines; prominent pores; dullness or an irregular skin surface; reducing the visibility of old, superficial acne scarring
Microneedling must be deferred or is unsuitable when: you are expecting a baby or nursing; active acne, infection or inflammation affects the treatment site; a cold sore is present; raised scarring (keloids) tends to develop; the acne drug isotretinoin was taken within the last 6 to 12 months; you take blood-thinning medicines; your diabetes is poorly controlled; psoriasis or eczema affects the treatment site
A course is the usual approach to microneedling. Three to six visits are often required, allowing an average of four to six weeks for recovery between them. When you attend, we agree a worthwhile number and suitable spacing with you. This plan differs for each person.
Immediately afterwards, expect redness and possibly slight puffiness or tautness, similar to having spent a day in sunshine. This generally settles in one to three days. Changes, if any, develop over subsequent weeks and are most apparent following a course.
These are general pointers; after your session we tailor the care advice to your skin together.
Because needles pierce the skin, the RIVM (the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment) classifies microneedling as a salon procedure carrying increased risk. During the first few days, redness, puffiness, tautness and occasional tiny bleeding points or mild flaking are usual responses.
Arrive with a bare face if possible. Set aside scrubs, acids and retinol several days ahead. Recently tanned or sunburnt skin must not be treated. Keep the following day free of any important occasion.
