The Treatment

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses a professional device with fine, sterile, single-use needles to create tiny, controlled channels in the skin.

The skin’s natural repair response is thought to support collagen and elastin, which may improve the appearance of texture, fine lines, and certain scars over a series of treatments.

Common cosmetic concerns

  • Uneven skin texture
  • The appearance of acne scars
  • Fine lines
  • Enlarged-looking pores
  • Dull or uneven tone

How it works

  • Skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
  • The provider glides a microneedling pen across the skin, adjusting depth for each area.
  • A soothing serum or product appropriate for post-treatment skin is applied.

Your Visit

Before, during, and after

  1. Before

    Your consultation reviews your skin, history of cold sores, acne, medications such as retinoids or isotretinoin, and recent sun exposure. You may be asked to pause certain products for several days.

  2. During

    With numbing, most clients feel light pressure or a mild scratching sensation. The treatment itself usually takes less than an hour.

  3. After

    Expect redness similar to a sunburn for one to three days, with possible mild swelling, dryness, or flaking. Avoid makeup for about 24 hours, sun exposure, sweating, and active ingredients as directed.

Safety
