“I had a microneedling done 2 weeks ago at Carolina Facial Plastics by Terry who was absolutely awesome. She took her time with me and listened to my skin concerns. Nothing felt rushed (this includes our conversations and the microneedling procedure). She provided me with very helpful knowledge about skincare too. I felt very comfortable and welcomed by everyone and I look forward to coming back again soon!”

Microneedling FAQ
What are the side effects of microneedling?
Patients commonly experience temporary redness, swelling, and bruising after microneedling, which will typically resolve within a few days.
What is the cost of microneedling in Charlotte, NC?
The cost of microneedling varies based on each individual’s needs, including whether you combine the treatment with PRP/PRFM. We provide a detailed quote during your consultation to reflect your specific treatment plan.
How should I prepare for microneedling?
- Protect your skin from sun exposure with SPF moisturizer – avoid direct sun exposure for 3-5 days and no chemical sunscreens for 24 hours after treatment.
- Avoid applying traditional cosmetics for at least 24 hours before the treatment.
- Don’t shave for at least 72 hours before the treatment.
- Avoid blood thinners, NSAIDs, and dental work before the procedure.
How long do the results of microneedling last?
The results from microneedling typically last several months, sometimes longer with PRP/PRFM, and patients can maintain these results with follow-up treatments.
Is microneedling painful?
We go to great lengths to ensure the procedures are comfortable for our patients. We apply medical-grade numbing cream to the treatment area before the microneedling procedure. Using this technique, patients feel little discomfort during the treatment.
How long does each microneedling procedure take?
Each treatment session takes about one hour. It takes 30 minutes for the numbing cream to take full effect. The process takes about 15 minutes without about 15 minutes of aftercare. Combining your treatment with PRP/PRFM extends the treatment time.
If I had Botox® or Dysport®, can I undergo microneedling treatments?
Do not have a microneedling procedure within 48 hours of injections of Botox or Dysport in the proximity to the treatment area to avoid potential misdistribution of injected neurotoxin.
If I have had facial dermal fillers, can I undergo microneedling treatments?
Do not undergo a microneedling procedure within 2 weeks of injections of dermal fillers to avoid a potential inflammatory response.
Are there age restrictions for microneedling?
We offer microneedling to adults aged 18 and older. During your consultation, we assess each individual’s suitability for the treatment.
Is microneedling covered by insurance?
Insurance generally does not cover microneedling with or without PRP/PRFM as it is a cosmetic procedure. However, our practice provides various financing options to make the treatment more accessible.
