Microneedling is an advanced skin treatment that works by kick-starting your body's natural healing process. As the microneedling pen creates thousands of tiny micro-channels, we apply a skin-boosting serum to deeply nourish and rejuvenate your skin.

This process helps your skin create fresh, new cells and increases the growth of collagen and elastin — leaving you with smoother, firmer, more radiant skin.

The Science
How Microneedling
Works
01

Controlled Micro-Injuries

Tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing process.

02

Collagen & Elastin Production

The healing response stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins for youthful skin.

03

Skin Rejuvenation

As new collagen forms, skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Texture refines and tone evens out over time.

Before Your Treatment
Pre-Care
Instructions
Prepare your skin for the best possible results.
01

Avoid Retinoids

Stop using retinol, retinoids, and other exfoliating acids 5–7 days before your treatment.

02

Skip Sun Exposure

Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least one week prior. Come in with a calm, non-irritated complexion.

03

No Blood Thinners

Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and alcohol 24–48 hours before your appointment to reduce bruising risk.

Your Session
What to Expect

1. Consultation

Your provider assesses your skin, discusses your concerns and goals, and creates a customized treatment plan. We'll determine the ideal needle depth, speed, and serum selection for your skin type.

2. Preparation

Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied for 20–30 minutes to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.

3. Treatment

The microneedling pen is gently glided across the treatment area, creating thousands of micro-channels. A customized serum is applied during the treatment to penetrate deeper into the skin for maximum benefit.

4. Results

Your skin will look and feel refreshed within days. Collagen continues to build for weeks after your treatment. A series of 3–6 sessions is recommended for optimal results.

After Your Treatment
Aftercare
Instructions
Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible results.
01

Keep Skin Clean

Use only a gentle cleanser for the first 48 hours. Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

02

Hydrate & Protect

Apply the recommended post-treatment serum and moisturizer. Use SPF 30+ daily — your skin is extra sensitive to sun after treatment.

03

Avoid Irritants

No retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or exfoliants for 5–7 days. Avoid swimming pools, saunas, and intense exercise for 48 hours.

04

Expect Redness

Your skin will look and feel like a mild sunburn for 1–3 days — some redness, warmth, and slight tightness. This is normal and part of the healing process.

05

Don't Pick or Peel

As your skin heals, you may experience mild flaking. Let it shed naturally — don't pick, peel, or exfoliate.

06

Book Your Next Session

Schedule your next appointment 4–6 weeks after your treatment. Consistent sessions deliver the best long-term results.

FAQ
Common Questions

There's little to no discomfort with microneedling. A prescription-grade topical numbing cream is applied before your treatment to ensure you're comfortable. Most clients feel only mild pressure or a light scratching sensation, and your provider can fine-tune the settings based on your comfort level.

Most clients see noticeable improvement after just one session, but we typically recommend a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. Your provider will create a personalized plan based on your skin concerns and goals.

Expect your skin to look and feel like a mild sunburn for 1–3 days — some redness, warmth, and slight tightness. Most clients feel comfortable returning to their normal routine within 24–48 hours with mineral makeup if needed.

Yes — microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for acne scarring. By stimulating collagen production in the scarred tissue, it gradually smooths and softens the appearance of scars over a series of treatments.

Our Signature treatment is ideal for general skin rejuvenation, texture, and glow. Advanced Microneedling uses deeper needle depths and premium serums (including growth factors or PRP) for more intensive concerns like scarring, deep lines, and hyperpigmentation.
