FAQs
-
Surgical-grade micro-needles create tiny wounds that accelerate the body’s natural healing process and work to repair the skin through increased production of collagen and elastin.
-
Thanks to the optimal needle count, needle design and speed of treatment many clients ¬find treatments with TWIST® involve minimal discomfort and are more comfortable than treatments with standard micro-needling devices.
-
Depending on treatment intensity you may experience redness and minor pin-point bleeding immediately after a micro-needling treatment. Post-treatment redness may appear like a mild sunburn and last up to 3 days. Your clinician will recommend an aftercare plan and a post-treatment skin care product to assist in skin hydration and accelerating your results.
-
Clients can see results in as little as 13 days with collagen production formulating 6 weeks post-treatment. Depending on the treatment area and desired outcome, most clients will require 4-6 treatments to achieve their best results.
