Microneedling

Skin renewal. Natural collagen boost. Refined texture.

WHAT IS THE TREATMENT?

Precision rejuvenation. Targeted renewal.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin-renewal treatment that uses tiny, sterile micro-needles to gently create controlled micro-channels in the skin’s surface. These micro-channels stimulate the body’s natural healing response and encourage increased collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin texture, tone, and firmness.

As the skin responds to this controlled stimulation, it works to repair itself, promoting smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Microneedling is effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines, mild scarring, enlarged pores, and uneven texture, while also enhancing the absorption of active skincare serums applied during treatment.

The procedure can be adjusted to fit individual skin needs and is suitable for most skin types. With appropriate preparation and care, microneedling supports gradual and long-lasting improvement in skin clarity and vibrancy.

PREPARATION FOR TREATMENT

Proper preparation helps ensure the best possible results and a comfortable experience.

Avoid retinol products, strong exfoliants, and chemical peels for at least 3–5 days prior to treatment. Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning to reduce the risk of sensitivity. Discontinue waxing or dermaplaning on the treatment area for several days before your session.

Tell your provider about any recent use of acne medications or active topical treatments so they can tailor your microneedling plan. If you are prone to cold sores, let your provider know, as antiviral medication may be recommended before treatment. Arriving with clean skin free of makeup, oils, or heavy products helps optimize the procedure.

AFTER TREATMENT

After microneedling, your skin will be in a sensitive, rejuvenating state that continues improving over time.

You may experience mild redness similar to a sunburn for the first 24–72 hours; this is a normal part of the healing process. Slight swelling, warmth, and sensitivity are also common and typically subside within a few days. Your provider may recommend hydrating and soothing products to support recovery and enhance results.

It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF daily following treatment. Avoiding heavy sweating, hot showers, saunas, and makeup for at least 24 hours helps protect your newly treated skin. Over the coming weeks, increased collagen production helps support a smoother texture and improved skin resilience.
