Microneedling
Microneedling is a gentle, skin-rejuvenating treatment that boosts collagen by creating tiny microchannels. It helps smooth fine lines, shrink pores, fade acne scars, and improve texture. As the skin heals, it becomes firmer and more radiant. Safe and effective when done by a trained provider, a consultation can help determine if it's right for your skin goals.
| About Microneedling
What It Is
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate the body’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, and more even-toned skin. It may improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and overall texture. While commonly performed on the face, microneedling can also be used on the neck, chest, scalp, or other areas in need of rejuvenation.
Microneedling with Biologics:
Microneedling with Biologics (PRP, PDGF+, PDRN, and Exosomes): Elevate your skin rejuvenation results by pairing microneedling with powerful biologics. This treatment harnesses cutting-edge regenerative serums: PRP (your body’s own platelet-rich plasma), PDGF+ (Platelet-Derived Growth Factors), PDRN (a DNA-based healing compound), or Exosomes (cell-derived messengers rich in growth factors), each chosen for its unique ability to repair and renew the skin. Clients can customize their experience by selecting the biologic that aligns with their skincare goals, delivering visible, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Traditional Microneedling:
Traditional Microneedling: This technique uses a handheld device with adjustable needle depths to glide across the skin, creating precise micro-injuries. It’s commonly used to improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin tone and texture. The treatment is minimally invasive and typically requires little downtime. Traditional microneedling is often paired with targeted serums such as hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, peptides to support collagen and elastin production, growth factors to promote healing and cellular renewal, and vitamin C to brighten the skin and protect against environmental damage.
FAQs
-
Microneedling is generally well tolerated. Most clients describe the sensation as a light prickling or vibration. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort during the treatment. Sensitive areas may feel slightly more tender, but the procedure is not considered painful.
-
Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, mild swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation for 24 to 72 hours. Some clients notice slight flaking or dryness a few days post-treatment as the skin renews. Most people return to normal activities the next day, though it’s best to avoid sun exposure and makeup for the first 24–48 hours.
-
Results develop gradually as collagen production increases over several weeks. Many clients begin to notice improvements in skin texture and tone within 1–2 weeks. A series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal, longer-lasting results. Maintenance sessions every few months can help preserve results.
-
Side effects are typically mild and temporary. These may include redness, swelling, dryness, pinpoint bleeding, or light bruising. These effects usually resolve within a few days. Following aftercare instructions—such as avoiding active skincare products and direct sun—is key to minimizing irritation and enhancing results.

Before your session, your skin will be cleansed, and a numbing cream applied for comfort. After the treatment, expect some redness and warmth. It’s important to avoid sun exposure, heavy exercise, and active ingredients (like retinoids or acids) for 24–72 hours post-treatment. We’ll provide specific aftercare guidance tailored to your skin.
