Microneedling in Geneva
Microneedling uses fine needles to prompt the skin's natural repair, working on texture, marks and radiance over a course. Here is what it is for and how to find a clinic in Geneva that tailors it to your skin.
Texture, marks and radiance
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels that prompt the skin to repair itself, which can improve texture, the look of marks and overall radiance. It works over a course rather than in one session, and results vary from person to person.
A skin assessment comes first to decide whether it suits your skin and at what intensity. It is a supervised treatment, not a home routine.
Hygiene and the right depth
Depth and hygiene are what separate a safe treatment from a risky one. This is why it belongs in a clinic, on properly assessed skin, with single-use equipment.
Around the treatment, sun exposure needs care and a simple suitable routine helps. Sensitive or treated skin changes what is appropriate, which the assessment makes clear.
A typical protocol
A skin assessment decides the protocol best suited to your goal.
Skin assessment
Your skin and goal are assessed to choose intensity and depth.

Your questions
How many sessions will I need?
Microneedling usually works over a course, with sessions spaced out. The number depends on your skin and goal, and a clinic gives a realistic plan after assessing you.
Is there downtime?
The skin can look a little red for a short time, similar to mild sunburn. The clinic explains aftercare and when to avoid sun.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Sometimes. Sensitive, reactive or treated skin changes what is appropriate, which is what the skin assessment is for.
Can I do it at home?
Clinical microneedling is a supervised treatment, with controlled depth and single-use equipment. Home devices are a different thing and carry different risks.
