Microneedling Treatment: Procedures And What to Expect
From consultation to treatment, we make the process simple and comfortable for natural, lasting results.
Consultation
Start with a personalized consultation where our experts assess your skin concerns, tone, and texture. We’ll design a customized microneedling treatment plan to target your unique goals—enhancing your natural glow and improving overall skin health.
Treatment
During your microneedling session, a skilled practitioner will gently guide a specialized device across targeted areas of your skin, creating precise micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and carefully performed to ensure your comfort and optimal results.
Results
Enjoy smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin as your body begins to naturally produce collagen and renew itself from within. While you may notice a healthy glow soon after treatment, results continue to improve over the following weeks. With minimal downtime, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, confident, and glowing.

What is Microneedling And How Does It Work?
Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in your skin's top layer. These micro-injuries trigger your body's healing response, boosting collagen production naturally. The process rejuvenates your skin without damaging the epidermis.
Science Behind Microneedling
Microneedling is an FDA-cleared, globally trusted treatment known for its ability to improve a wide range of skin concerns—including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks—by harnessing the skin’s own natural healing power. The treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin over time.
Understanding the SkinPen Technology: The SkinPen is FDA-cleared and designed for maximum safety and precision. It offers adjustable needle depths (0.25mm to 2.5mm) to target specific concerns like forehead wrinkles or under-eye issues. Unlike older derma rollers, SkinPen provides consistent results with minimal discomfort and recovery time. It's perfect for delicate areas and deeper concerns like acne scars.
How Microneedling Stimulates Collagen Production: Microneedling triggers your skin's repair mode, activating fibroblasts that produce new collagen and elastin. This creates thicker, more youthful skin with better texture. The treatment breaks down old scar tissue while promoting healthy new skin cell growth. For hair loss concerns, microneedling increases blood flow to the scalp and stimulates dormant follicles.
Improved Absorption: Microneedling also enhances the absorption of topical serums, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper for enhanced results.
Microneedling offers a safe, minimally invasive solution for achieving smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin. From reducing fine lines and acne scars to improving skin texture and minimizing pores, this versatile treatment delivers natural-looking results with little downtime—making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking radiant skin without the need for surgery or harsh procedures.

Are Microneedling Treatments Safe
Addressing Common Concerns
Microneedling is a safe, minimally invasive treatment widely trusted by skincare professionals for its ability to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. Using fine, sterile needles, the procedure triggers your skin’s natural healing response—boosting collagen without the need for chemicals or harsh procedures. With little to no downtime and a low risk of side effects, microneedling offers a natural path to smoother, healthier skin. Treatments are fully customizable to suit your skin type and goals, helping you achieve visible results while feeling confident in the process.
Is Microneedling Procedure Right For You?
Microneedling is a versatile treatment with powerful results—but it’s not one-size-fits-all. Whether you're dealing with acne scars, early hair thinning, or just want a collagen boost, microneedling can be tailored to your skin goals. Here’s how it works for different concerns:
Microneedling for Acne Scars
If you struggle with stubborn acne scars, microneedling can help smooth and fade them over time. The treatment stimulates collagen to fill in uneven texture. Results appear gradually with multiple sessions. It’s a great option for those wanting clearer skin without invasive procedures or downtime.
Microneedling with PRP
Combining microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) supercharges your results. PRP accelerates healing and boosts collagen regeneration. This combo is ideal for treating wrinkles, dullness, and texture issues. It’s a favorite among clients who want radiant, youthful-looking skin with natural growth factors.
Microneedling for Hair Loss
Microneedling helps stimulate inactive hair follicles by increasing blood flow to the scalp. When paired with PRP or exosomes, it can promote thicker, healthier hair. This treatment is especially popular for early-stage hair thinning. It's a non-surgical option worth considering before more aggressive hair restoration methods.
Preparing for Your Microneedling Appointment
To ensure a comfortable and successful microneedling experience, follow these tips:
Avoid Blood Thinners
To reduce the risk of bruising or pinpoint bleeding, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements—such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil—for at least 3–5 days before your treatment, unless prescribed by your doctor.
Skip Alcohol & Tobacco
Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before and after your appointment, as it can increase sensitivity and prolong healing. Reducing or avoiding tobacco use will also support optimal skin recovery and results.
Pause Active Skincare Ingredients
Discontinue use of retinoids, exfoliants (like AHAs/BHAs), and other active or irritating skincare products for 2–3 days before treatment. This prevents unnecessary irritation and helps your skin respond more comfortably to microneedling.
Stay Well-Hydrated
Hydrated skin is healthier and more resilient. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to support healing and collagen production.
Arrive with Clean, Product-Free Skin
On the day of your treatment, come with a freshly cleansed face free of makeup, moisturizers, sunscreen, or other skincare products. This ensures a safe and effective procedure with maximum absorption of any post-treatment serums.
How To Prepare for Your Microneedling Treatment
Proper preparation and aftercare are essential for maximizing your microneedling results. Following these simple guidelines will ensure your skin responds optimally to treatment while minimizing potential side effects. Here's everything you need to know before and after your session:
Pre-Treatment Preparation and Guidelines
- Avoiding sun exposure, retinoids, and exfoliants for 3-5 days before treatment - Coming to your appointment with clean skin (no makeup, lotions, or sunscreen) - Postponing treatment if you have active acne breakouts, cold sores, or skin infections - Discussing any medications you're taking that might affect healing - Staying well-hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment
Post-Treatment Care, Recovery, and Downtime
- Mild redness and sensitivity (similar to a sunburn) for 24-48 hours - Minimal downtime—most clients return to normal activities the next day - Possible mild swelling, dryness, or flaking as your skin heals - Visible improvements beginning within 1-2 weeks as collagen production increases - Continued enhancement of skin texture for up to 6 months following treatment
What's the Best Time to Do Your First Microneedling Session
Microneedling is beneficial at any age, with each life stage offering ideal opportunities to address different skin concerns. Whether you're focused on prevention or correction, starting microneedling at the right time can maximize your skin's natural rejuvenation potential and help maintain youthful, healthy skin for years to come.
