No, it shouldn’t be painful. Most people describe the treatment as a slight tapping, pressure, or tingling. The needles are very fine, much smaller than those used in traditional microneedling, so pain should be minimal. If you’re sensitive, your provider can apply a topical numbing cream for additional comfort.

Why Gold Micro-Infusion?
Gold Micro-Infusion delivers active ingredients directly into the upper layers of your skin to support texture, hydration, and a more luminous appearance.
How does Gold Micro-Infusion differ from microneedling?
Gold Micro-Infusion and microneedling both use needles, but they serve different purposes. Gold Micro-Infusion uses ultra-fine needles to place a serum blend just beneath the surface of your skin. This approach focuses on refining texture, supporting hydration, and creating a more even-toned, luminous finish.
Microneedling works at a deeper level to stimulate collagen and elastin production, making it ideal for treating scarring and promoting long-term structural changes. Many people combine both modalities in a treatment plan, using Gold-Micro Infusion for surface refinement and microneedling for deeper renewal.

You can expect to see changes immediately and in the days following your treatment. As your skin absorbs the serum and the microchannels close, the texture of your skin looks smoother, and hydration is more evenly distributed. Over the next several days, your skin takes on a more refined appearance. Thus, the result develops gradually, as the ingredients continue to integrate into your skin.
