Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates the skin’s natural healing process by creating tiny micro-injuries using fine needles. This process boosts collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. While most patients describe the sensation as a mild scratching or tingling, deeper treatments may cause temporary discomfort, especially in sensitive areas like the forehead and around the eyes.
For optimal results, a series of 3 to 6 treatments is recommended, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on individual skin concerns and healing response.

Benefits of Microneedling

✅ Improves Skin Texture & Tone – Smooths rough skin, minimizes pores, and enhances overall complexion.
✅ Fades Acne Scars & Hyperpigmentation – Helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone.

✅ Safe for Most Skin Types – Can be customized for various skin concerns with minimal risk.
The Procedure
Microneedling is a quick procedure with minimal downtime. The skin may appear red and slightly swollen for 24 to 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Some patients experience mild peeling or flaking a few days after treatment, but this is part of the skin’s renewal process.
While you may notice an immediate glow, full results develop over 4 to 6 weeks as collagen and elastin rebuild, creating firmer, more radiant skin.
For deeper microneedling treatments, mild pinpoint bleeding may occur, and healing time can extend up to 5-7 days. Your provider will recommend the best aftercare routine to minimize downtime and enhance results.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
A single microneedling session can improve skin appearance, but a series of 3 to 6 treatments is typically recommended to achieve long-lasting results. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan based on your specific skin type and goals.
Who Should Avoid Microneedling?
Microneedling is not recommended for individuals with:
🚫 Active acne, rosacea, or eczema
🚫 Open wounds, infections, or recent sunburn
🚫 A history of keloid scarring
🚫 Blood disorders or blood-thinning medications
🚫 Recent Accutane use (within the past 6 months)
Those with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) should consult with a provider to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). A gentler approach with lower needle depths may be advised for optimal safety.
