Just like any precision skincare tool, microneedling heads need to be replaced regularly to stay effective and hygienic. Over time, microneedles can become blunt and less precise, which may reduce results and increase irritation.
Knowing when to replace your microneedling head helps ensure safer treatments and better skin outcomes.
1) How often should you replace microneedling heads?
