Microneedling
Activate, Renew, Glow
About the Treatment
Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates your body's natural collagen and elastin production to improve overall skin health and appearance. Using the FDA-cleared SkinPen device, controlled micro-channels are created within the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response and promoting the development of new, healthy tissue. This treatment is ideal for improving skin texture, refining pores, softening fine lines, reducing the appearance of acne scars, and enhancing overall skin radiance. Because microneedling works by supporting your skin's natural regenerative processes, results appear gradually and naturally, leaving your skin looking healthier, smoother, and more refreshed.

What to Expect
Consultation
Your treatment begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your skin concerns, evaluate your skin condition, and determine whether microneedling is the best treatment to help you achieve your goals.
Preparation
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to maximize comfort throughout the procedure.
Treatment
Using the FDA-cleared SkinPen device, your provider will create controlled micro-channels within the skin at customized depths based on your unique concerns and treatment goals. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure with a light vibrating or prickling feeling.
Post-Treatment
Immediately following treatment, your skin may appear pink or feel similar to a mild sunburn. Mild redness, dryness, and sensitivity are common and typically improve within 24–72 hours. You will receive personalized aftercare instructions and recommended products to support healing and optimize your results.
Follow-Up
Depending on your goals, a series of treatments may be recommended to achieve optimal results. Your provider will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan and timeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the treatment take?
The microneedling procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes. Including consultation, numbing time, and post-treatment instructions, plan for approximately 60–90 minutes for your appointment.
Is there any downtime?
Most patients experience mild redness and sensitivity similar to a sunburn for 24–72 hours following treatment. Some dryness, tightness, or light flaking may occur as the skin heals.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice an improvement in skin texture and radiance within a few weeks. Because collagen remodeling takes time, continued improvements are typically seen over the following months.
How many treatments will I need?
While many patients notice improvement after a single treatment, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced several weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results, especially when addressing acne scars or more advanced signs of aging.
Is microneedling painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure your comfort. Most patients find the procedure very tolerable and describe the sensation as mild pressure or light prickling.
What skin concerns can microneedling treat?
Microneedling can improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, mild skin laxity, and overall skin tone and radiance.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Avoid excessive sun exposure, retinoids, exfoliants, and other potentially irritating skincare products for several days before treatment unless otherwise directed. Arrive with clean skin whenever possible and inform your provider of any active skin conditions, infections, or recent aesthetic treatments.
