The Truth About Microneedling: No, You Shouldn’t Be Bleeding

At Ana's Beauty Parlour, we’ve noticed a growing concern among new clients:“Will I bleed during microneedling?”
The short answer? No — you shouldn’t.
Let’s clear up one of the biggest misconceptions about microneedling and what real, effective treatment actually looks like.
The Misconception: Microneedling = Blood & Heavy Redness
Social media is filled with dramatic “after” footage — faces covered in blood, intense redness, and extreme irritation. While this may look impressive or “hardcore,” it has created the false belief that:
Bleeding = better results
More trauma = more collagen
Harsher treatment = more effective
This is simply not true.
The Reality: Bleeding Is NOT the Goal
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin to:
Stimulate collagen production
Improve skin texture
Enhance product absorption
However, visible bleeding means the skin barrier has been pushed too far.
When blood surfaces:
It can actually push out the active ingredients we are trying to infuse
It increases unnecessary inflammation
It prolongs recovery time
It can compromise optimal results
If we are applying powerful ingredients like:
Derma 2.0 skin boosters
Collagen
Hyaluronic acid
Targeted treatment serums
…the last thing we want is for those ingredients to be diluted or expelled by bleeding.
Effective microneedling is about precision, not aggression.
Why Extreme Treatments Are Not Better
While intense redness and bleeding may look dramatic online, research and clinical practice show that:
Controlled stimulation produces collagen
Excess trauma increases inflammation
Over-treatment can slow healing
In fact, a well-performed microneedling session should result in:
Mild to moderate redness
Warmth similar to light sun exposure
Minimal downtime
Gradual, visible improvement over time
Results come from consistency and proper technique — not from how dramatic the skin looks immediately after.
