MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling is like a gentle workout for your skin—tiny, controlled microchannels that give your face a little "wake-up call," telling it to boost collagen and elastin production. The result? Smoother texture, a healthy glow, and fewer fine lines, scars, or dark spots. Think of it as a gentle nudge that gets your skin back to its radiant, refreshed self!

  • Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production—resulting in smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

  • During treatment, a microneedling device—often a pen-like tool with sterile, single-use needles—is gently moved across the skin. The needles create microchannels that trigger your skin’s repair process. As your skin heals, it produces new collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for youthful, healthy skin.

    Microneedling also enhances the absorption of skincare products applied immediately after treatment, increasing their effectiveness.

  • During the Procedure:

    • Numbing cream is applied for comfort

    • The procedure takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the area

    • Most people describe it as a tolerable prickling sensation

    After Treatment:

    • Expect redness (similar to a sunburn), mild swelling, and slight sensitivity for 24–72 hours

    • Your skin may feel dry or tight as it heals

    • Visible improvement often starts within a week, with continued results over several weeks

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Most people describe it as a tolerable prickling sensation. Topical numbing cream is also applied prior to the procedure to minimize discomfort.

  • Downtime is minimal. You can expect a mild sunburn-like effect for 24-72 hours after treatment.

    You will be asked to avoid direct sunlight to treated areas for 2 weeks after treatment. Avoid strenuous activity for 24-48 hours after treatment. You may resume normal skin care products once your skin is no longer irritated or flaking.

  • Every patient’s needs are different, but the typical recommendation is a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. For those with greater skin concerns, you may need more sessions.

    It is recommended that you do a maintenance treatment 1-2 times yearly after your initial sessions.

  • Redness, mild swelling, dryness or flaking, bruising, tiny scabs or pinpoint bleeding. These are all temporary and typically resolve within a few days.

  • To best prepare your skin for and ensure the best results:

    • Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds for 1 week prior

    • Discontinue use of retinoids of exfoliants 3 days before

    • Discontinue blood-thinning medications/supplements if approved by your doctor

    • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin

  • Your skin will be sensitive after microneedling. Proper aftercare is essential:

    • Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks and wear SPF 30+ daily

    • Do not wear makeup for at least 24 hours

    • Use only gentle skincare until irritation of skin resolves (we’ll guide you!)

    • Don’t pick or exfoliate the skin while it’s healing

    • Avoid saunas or strenuous activity for 24 hours
