Microneedling

Collagen-stimulating treatment for smoother texture and tone.

Microneedling uses a pen-shaped device with ultra-fine sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This triggers your body's natural healing response and stimulates collagen and elastin production — over time, skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in tone.

Each session includes a skin booster serum with PDRN, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and glutathione. It is safe and effective for most skin types on the face, neck, décolletage, and body.

What microneedling can treat

  • Fine lines and wrinkles — smooths expression lines and improves skin texture
  • Acne scars — helps reduce the appearance of atrophic scars
  • Dull, tired skin — boosts radiance and evens overall skin tone
  • Enlarged pores — refines pore size for smoother-looking skin
  • Stretch marks — improves the look and texture of stretch marks

Treatment takes 30–60 minutes. A topical numbing cream is applied for your comfort.

Frequently asked questions

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients see best results after 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are recommended to maintain your results.

Is it safe?

Yes. When performed by a trained and licensed provider, microneedling is a safe and effective treatment with minimal downtime. Possible side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, and discomfort; dryness, peeling, or temporary sensitivity; acne or rosacea flare-ups; infection; cold sore reactivation; pigment changes; prolonged irritation or delayed healing; and, rarely, scarring.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Microneedling can be combined with PRP for enhanced results.

How should I prepare before the treatment?

Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and skincare products. Avoid tanning and sunburn, and skip irritating exfoliating products beforehand. Tell your provider about all medications, supplements, allergies, skin conditions, and any history of cold sores, and do not stop prescribed medications — including blood thinners, aspirin, or anti-inflammatory medications — without guidance from your prescribing clinician. Let your provider know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, immunocompromised, or prone to abnormal scarring.

What does aftercare involve?

For the first 24 hours, avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, excessive sweating, saunas, and swimming, and do not touch, rub, or pick at the treated skin. For 48–72 hours, avoid direct sun exposure, retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, waxing, and chemical peels on the treated area. Use a gentle cleanser and a provider-approved moisturizer, and resume active skincare products gradually once redness and irritation have resolved.

What should I expect after treatment?

Downtime is minimal — expect temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling, tightness, and sensitivity, with the skin feeling like a mild sunburn for 1–2 days.

When will I see results?

Redness and sensitivity gradually subside over the first few days, and early improvements in texture and radiance can be visible within a week. Collagen remodeling brings further improvement over the following months, with best results after 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are recommended, and results are not permanent — natural aging continues, and individual results vary.
