Microneedling is a popular treatment for fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation, but many clients ask: “Is it safe to have microneedling while pregnant?” At CLEO, we prioritize safety first, ensuring clients in Minneapolis (Edina & Maple Grove) and Detroit (Downtown Birmingham) understand the best practices for their skin during pregnancy.
Why Microneedling Is Typically Not Recommended During Pregnancy
Microneedling involves creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and elastin production. While the procedure is generally safe for most clients, during pregnancy:
- Your skin is more sensitive, which may increase irritation or redness.
- Healing and recovery may be altered due to hormonal changes.
- Certain topical serums or anesthetics used during treatment may not be recommended during pregnancy.
Because of these factors, most providers recommend postponing microneedling until after pregnancy.
Safe Alternatives During Pregnancy
If you’re looking for skin maintenance while pregnant, there are safer options:
- Gentle chemical exfoliants (approved for pregnancy)
- Hydrating facials and non-invasive treatments
- Professional skincare routines that focus on moisturizing and protecting the skin
After Pregnancy: Microneedling Options
Once pregnancy is complete, SkinPen Microneedling can safely:
- Reduce acne scars
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve skin tone and texture
Our providers at CLEO tailor each treatment to your unique skin concerns, ensuring maximum results with minimal downtime.
