When will I see results and how long will they last?
Many users notice their skin feeling smoother, more hydrated, and looking more radiant after just one treatment — with visible freshness often peaking within 24–48 hours. While some effects can be seen early, more significant improvements in skin texture, firmness, and the appearance of fine lines are typically achieved with consistent use over 4–6 treatments across 12 or more weeks.
With a regular treatment schedule every two weeks, results build progressively — supporting a firmer, more even, and more luminous complexion over time. Depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and number of treatments, results can last several months when maintained alongside a high-quality daily skincare routine.
How often should I perform the treatment?
For best results, we recommend one Micro-Infusion treatment every two weeks. This schedule allows your skin to recover and fully benefit from each session while maintaining ongoing results.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal to none with the Micro-Infusion System. You may experience slight redness or mild sensitivity immediately after treatment, but this usually subsides within a few hours to 24 hours.
To support optimal recovery, avoid makeup, direct sun exposure, and active or harsh skincare products for at least 24 hours post-treatment. This allows your skin to settle and fully benefit from the infusion.
When is the best time of day to treat?
Evening is ideal — especially just before bed. This gives your skin overnight recovery time, free from makeup, sun exposure, or environmental stressors.
What are the main benefits of micro-infusion?
- Stimulates your skin’s natural repair process, encouraging collagen production.
- Enhances absorption of your serum, delivering ingredients exactly where they’re needed.
- Improves skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture.
- Helps to soften the appearance of fine lines and creates a healthy, luminous glow.
- Helps even out skin tone over time and reduce pore size.
Does it help with the appearance of deep wrinkles?
Yes — the Micro-Infusion System can help improve the appearance of deeper wrinkles by boosting skin hydration, supporting collagen production, and promoting a smoother-looking complexion. For more pronounced lines, visible improvements may take longer and are typically seen with consistent use over 3 to 6 months. Patience and a regular treatment routine are essential for achieving the best cosmetic results.
Does it help improve the appearance of scars?
Yes — the Micro-Infusion System may help improve the look of certain surface-level imperfections, such as mild acne marks or minor textural irregularities. With consistent use, many users report smoother-looking skin over time.
However, do not use the device over keloid scars. Keloids are a type of raised scar that results from an overgrowth of scar tissue, and microneedling over them can potentially trigger further tissue growth, making the scar larger or more raised.
As with all treatments, individual results will vary, particularly with deeper or older scars.
Can I use the treatment on my neck, lips, or under-eye area?
Yes. The Micro-Infusion System can be used on the neck, lips, and under-eye area to improve hydration, smooth fine lines, and enhance overall skin texture.
- Under-eye area: Use very gentle pressure and only one pass. This can help soften the appearance of crow’s feet and fine lines. Avoid stamping directly on the lash line, and monitor your skin’s response as sensitivity varies from person to person.
- Neck: Regular treatments can help improve the appearance of neck creases, horizontal lines, and age-related skin changes, leaving the skin smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking.
- Lips: Can be treated to enhance smoothness and hydration.
What does “50% overlap” mean?
It means that each time you stamp, you overlap the previous stamp by half. This ensures each area is treated at least twice for thorough coverage and even serum delivery.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes — the Micro-Infusion System is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it is not recommended for use on skin with active acne, eczema, rosacea, or psoriasis. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, ongoing skin concerns, or any medical questions, we recommend consulting a qualified healthcare professional before beginning treatment.
There’s leftover serum in the device — can I save it for later?
Each serum vial is intended for one full treatment for optimal freshness and sterility. After stamping, pat any remaining serum from the device onto your face, neck, and décolletage. Leave it on overnight to allow maximum absorption.
The serum isn’t flowing — what should I do?
Ensure the serum is positioned at the needle end by tilting the device slightly upwards or turning it upside down for a minute. You can also replace the lid, invert the device, and give it a gentle tap to guide the serum down into the needles.
The serum isn’t flowing — what should I do?
How do I open the serum vial?
- 1. Hold the body of the vial firmly.
- 2. Locate the arrow on the cap and flip open from the indicated end.
- 3. Bend the aluminium seal away until it loosens.
- 4. Peel back the seal completely and discard.
- 5. Remove the rubber stopper and pour the serum into your device chamber.
Tip: If the aluminium seal breaks, use tweezers to get the rest of the seal off.
Why should I avoid certain skincare products after treatment?
Your skin will be more receptive after micro-infusion, so potent actives (like retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or vitamin C) can cause irritation. Stick to gentle, hydrating products for at least 2–3 days post-treatment before reintroducing active ingredients.
Can I micro-infuse over active breakouts?
Avoid stamping directly on active blemishes to prevent irritation or bacteria spread. You can treat around the area instead.
After microneedling, how long should I wait before using an LED face mask?
We recommend waiting until the following day to use your LED mask after microneedling. This gives your skin time to settle, reduces the risk of irritation, and ensures you get the full benefits from both treatments.
I’ve recently had Botox or filler — when can I do my micro-infusion treatment?
When combining microneedling with injectables like Botox or dermal fillers, timing is key. While many clients with injectables safely use the Erra™ Micro-Infusion System, we advise:
- Avoiding direct stamping over fresh filler or Botox sites.
- Waiting at least 14 days after injections before performing micro-infusion. This allows your injectables to fully settle and ensures optimal results from both treatments.
- If you’re microneedling before getting injectables, allow your skin to fully heal — usually 3–7 days — before scheduling your injections.
For personalised advice, consult your healthcare provider to confirm the best timing for your specific treatment plan.
