ABOUT MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a popular skin rejuvenation treatment that involves using fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
As a result, microneedling helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, leaving the skin smoother and more youthful-looking.
Microneedling is safe for most skin types and can address a range of skin concerns, offering a non-invasive option for healthier, more youthful-looking skin.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENT
The fine needles create tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin without causing significant damage. It is not a surgical procedure and does not cause deep tissue damage.
MINIMAL DOWNTIME
Most people experience mild redness and sensitivity similar to a sunburn for 24 - 48, though it can take up to a week for the skin to fully heal. Some people may also notice slight swelling or peeling.
Getting ready for your Microneedling Appointment
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR MICRONEEDLING APPOINTMENT
After assessing your skin and discussing your goals, your esthetician will apply a numbing cream. Then, a microneedling device with fine needles is used to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The open channels within the skin serve as pathways to deliver products like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), exosomes, NCPR and hyaluronic acid. Sessions take 30 to 60 minutes.
WHAT TO DO AFTER YOUR MICRONEEDLING APPOINTMENT
Patients can expect mild redness, similar to a sunburn, for a few days following the treatment. The skin may feel tight or warm immediately after, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days. It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and follow aftercare instructions, such as applying gentle moisturizers and sunscreen.
MICRONEEDLING MAINTENANCE AND NEXT STEPS
To prolong results, use gentle skincare products, stay hydrated, and protect the skin from sun exposure. For general skin rejuvenation, 3 to 6 initial treatments are typically recommended, followed by maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months. The frequency may vary based on individual skin conditions, age, and response to the treatment.
