Microneedling
If your skin feels tired, textured, or marked by past breakouts or early signs of aging, microneedling may be the solution you’ve been looking for. This powerful yet minimally invasive treatment is designed to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production to smooth scars, reduce fine lines, shrink pores, and restore a healthy, radiant glow—all with little to no downtime.
Discover how microneedling can help you smooth scars, refine texture, and restore youthful, radiant skin!
What is Microneedling Treatment?
Microneedling—also known as collagen induction therapy—is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses a device with very fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin—the building blocks of smooth, youthful skin.
Key Benefits:
Boosts collagen and elastin production naturally
Improves skin firmness, smoothness, and radiance
Reduces acne scars, stretch marks, and fine lines
Enhances the effectiveness of active skincare ingredients
Safe for most skin types
Minimal downtime with long-lasting results
Microneedling is a powerful, natural way to refresh and rejuvenate your skin without harsh chemicals or invasive procedures.
How the Treatment Works
Step 1: Skin Consultation
Before your treatment begins, we’ll assess your skin and discuss your concerns to ensure microneedling is the right option for you. Your provider will customize the session based on your skin goals—whether it’s smoothing acne scars, reducing fine lines, or refining texture.
Step 2: Cleansing & Preparation
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or debris. A numbing cream is then applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. This typically sits for about 15–20 minutes.
Step 3: Microneedling Begins
Using a specialized microneedling device with fine, sterile needles, your provider will create tiny, controlled micro-injuries across the treatment area. This part usually feels like a light prickling or vibration—most clients describe it as mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable due to the numbing cream.
Step 4: Application of Serums
As the skin is more absorbent immediately after microneedling, hydrating or healing serums (such as hyaluronic acid or growth factors) are applied to penetrate deeper and enhance results. This helps to soothe the skin and speed up recovery.
Step 5: Post-Treatment Care
A calming mask or aftercare product may be applied, and your provider will go over aftercare instructions to protect your skin while it heals. You may experience mild redness, warmth, or sensitivity—similar to a light sunburn—for 24–48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most clients find microneedling very tolerable. A topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to minimize discomfort. You may feel a light prickling or vibration, but the procedure is generally not painful.
-
A typical microneedling session takes about 45 to 60 minutes, including time for numbing. The length may vary depending on the size of the area being treated and any additional serums or boosters used.

Microneedling has minimal downtime. You may experience redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity for 24–48 hours—similar to a light sunburn. Most people return to normal activities the next day, but it’s best to avoid direct sun exposure and makeup for the first 24 hours.
-
You may notice an immediate glow and smoother texture within a few days, but the most significant results—such as improved skin tone and reduced scarring—develop gradually over the next 2–4 weeks as collagen continues to rebuild.
-
For best results, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended, depending on your skin concerns and goals. Maintenance treatments every few months can help prolong and enhance your results.
