What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a collagen induction therapy that uses a precision device to create tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin's surface. This activates the body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production within the dermis — the proteins responsible for smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Microneedling Details
Areas: Full face, neck, and body (depending on treatment goals) Duration: Typically 20 to 60 minutes, depending on treatment area and device used Downtime: Minimal to none, depending on treatment intensity Pair with: Medical-grade skincare to support ongoing results
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling devices create precise micro-injuries in the skin, activating the body's natural healing response. As the skin repairs itself, texture becomes smoother, tone more even, and firmness visibly improves. The micro-channels created during treatment can also enhance the absorption of medical-grade serums applied during the session, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper for improved overall skin rejuvenation.
Microneedling Benefits
Microneedling offers a range of benefits for skin texture, tone, and overall quality through natural collagen stimulation.
Improved skin texture and tone: stimulating collagen and elastin production helps smooth uneven texture, refine the look of pores, and enhance overall skin tone.
Natural-looking rejuvenation: by activating the skin's healing response, microneedling delivers gradual improvements without adding volume or altering facial features.
Manageable downtime: many sessions allow for a relatively quick return to your normal routine, making treatment easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Personalized care: treatments are tailored to your skin's needs, helping support safe, precise, and effective results.
Is Microneedling Right for Me?
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and is a good fit for anyone seeking natural-looking rejuvenation through collagen stimulation. During a consultation, we'll assess your skin and goals to help determine whether microneedling — and which specific approach — aligns with what you're looking to achieve, and build a personalized treatment plan from there.
How to Prepare for Treatment
Arrive for your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks before treatment. Discontinue retinoids, exfoliating products, and active acids five to seven days prior, unless otherwise instructed. Stay well-hydrated, and let us know about any medications, skin conditions, or relevant medical history before treatment.
What Happens During Treatment?
Sessions typically take 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A topical numbing cream may be applied to help maximize comfort. During the procedure, the device creates precise micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Most patients experience mild to moderate sensation with minimal discomfort. Medical-grade serums may be applied during or after treatment to enhance results and support skin healing.
Expected Results
Initial improvements in skin texture and radiance are often visible within a few weeks. As collagen production increases, many patients notice smoother skin, improved firmness, and a more even tone over time. For optimal results, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is typically recommended.
Aftercare Tips
To support healing and help maximize your results after microneedling:
Avoid direct sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to maintain hydration. Avoid makeup for 24 hours post-treatment. Discontinue retinol, exfoliants, and active acids for five to seven days. Avoid intense exercise, heat exposure, and saunas for 24–48 hours. Follow all post-treatment instructions provided by our team.
