Microneedling
Ready to refresh your skin without surgery or downtime? Microneedling is a powerful, minimally invasive treatment that stimulates natural collagen production to smooth wrinkles, fade scars, and restore a radiant glow. If you’re looking for real results with little recovery, this could be your new favorite skin secret.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process to improve texture, tone, and overall appearance. Using a device with fine, sterile needles, microneedling creates thousands of micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. This triggers the production of collagen and elastin—key components that help your skin look smoother, firmer, and more youthful.
Microneedling is commonly used to treat:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Acne scars and other types of scarring
-
Enlarged pores
-
Stretch marks
-
Uneven skin tone
-
Mild skin laxity
What To Expect During Treatment?
Your microneedling session typically begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin, followed by the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Once your skin is numb (usually after about 20–30 minutes), your provider will use a microneedling device to gently glide across the treatment area.
The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. You may feel a light scratching or prickling sensation, but most clients report minimal discomfort thanks to the numbing agent.
After treatment, a soothing serum or mask is often applied to calm the skin and enhance results. You may notice some redness or sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolves within a few days.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
The number of microneedling sessions needed varies depending on your skin concerns and desired results. Most clients see noticeable improvements after 3 to 6 treatments, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Deeper skin concerns like acne scarring or stretch marks may require additional sessions for optimal results.
During your consultation, we’ll customize a treatment plan tailored specifically to your skin goals.
How Long Does Microneedling Last?
Results from microneedling are long-lasting, especially when maintained with a good skincare routine and sun protection. Most clients enjoy smoother, more radiant skin for several months after completing a series of treatments.
While microneedling stimulates long-term collagen production, periodic maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months can help sustain and enhance your results over time.
What Are The Possible Side Effects Of Microneedling?
Microneedling is generally safe when performed by a licensed professional. However, like all cosmetic treatments, it may cause temporary side effects such as:
-
Redness and mild swelling (similar to a sunburn)
-
Skin sensitivity or tightness
-
Minor pinpoint bleeding or bruising
-
Dryness or flaking in the days following treatment
These effects typically subside within 24 to 72 hours. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions to support proper healing and minimize any discomfort.
Microneedling is not recommended for individuals with active skin infections, certain skin conditions (like eczema or psoriasis), or those who are pregnant.
