Microneedling creates small punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin texture and tone. While the procedure is typically not painful, some people may experience discomfort during treatment. The sensations can vary, ranging from a sandpaper-like feeling to sharper discomfort, depending on individual pain thresholds and the treatment depth. To help manage any potential discomfort, topical numbing cream is often applied. Despite the chance of temporary discomfort, microneedling is regarded as a safe and effective option for treating various skin issues, such as scars and acne, with most patients reporting minimal pain during the process.
