Microneedling

Resilient Skin Begins Here

Harness your skin’s natural healing powers to visibly improve texture, tone, and radiance. Microneedling improves skin health and appearance by infusing growth factors and collagen into the skin via tiny channels in the skin created by very thin needles. When your skin heals itself, it appears more even and youthful due to the increase in collagen and other healing properties.

What is microneedling?

Strong Skin, Soft Glow

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to activate your skin's natural repair response and refine overall tone and texture.

By creating precise micro-injuries, microneedling encourages fresh collagen and elastin production. In youthful skin, a dense, springy collagen layer supports smooth contours and a firm, lifted look. Over time, that supportive cushion thins, and the face can begin to appear tired or deflated.

As structural support diminishes, skin is more likely to droop and settle into fine lines, wrinkles, and folds. Uneven texture becomes more visible, and hollow areas may develop beneath the eyes and through the midface. Without targeted stimulation, your body produces far less new collagen on its own, making professional collagen-inducing treatments especially beneficial.

The difference of microneedling + PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated solution made from a small sample of your own blood.

The sample is placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun at high speed to separate red blood cells and other solids from the liquid portion. The platelet-rich layer is then isolated and mixed back into the clear plasma. Platelets are essential for blood clotting and are packed with growth factors that support tissue repair and regeneration. When used in aesthetics, PRP enhances your body's natural healing response while helping to calm inflammation.

Combining PRP with microneedling stimulates new collagen production, minimizes swelling, and speeds recovery. Each tiny channel created by the microneedling device acts like a pathway, delivering PRP into deeper layers of skin where it can more effectively smooth fine lines, improve tone, and refresh overall texture.

How does microneedling work?

Recharging Your Skin's Renewal

Microneedling uses a handheld device tipped with ultra-fine, sterile needles to trigger your skin's natural repair response.

At our med spa, we perform microneedling with the advanced SkinPen system for safe, precise treatments and consistent results.

Your visit typically begins with a topical numbing cream to maximize comfort. Your provider then glides the microneedling device over the treatment area, creating precise microscopic channels. You may notice light pressure or mild sensation, but downtime is minimal, and most redness fades within a few hours.

This process stimulates circulation and delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the area, encouraging collagen and elastin production while supporting regenerative healing.

Microneedling can be an excellent alternative or complement to laser treatments and chemical peels, especially for individuals with deeper skin tones or sensitivities. Your body responds to the micro-channels as it would to tiny wounds, launching a repair cascade that helps smooth texture and refine firmness.

Many patients enhance their results by pairing microneedling with platelet-rich plasma or hyaluronic acid serums for deeper hydration and accelerated rejuvenation.

Rediscovering Radiance

What skin concerns does Microneedling address?

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that helps improve many common skin concerns, including:

  • Enlarged pores and areas of scarred or surgical skin
  • Uneven texture and tone, including dark spots and sun exposure damage
  • Fine lines and wrinkles, for a smoother, more radiant look
  • Age spots that affect overall clarity and brightness
  • Acne and post-acne scarring, such as atrophic or depressed scars
  • Loss of firmness and elasticity
  • Stretch marks related to pregnancy or weight changes
  • Early-stage hair thinning in select areas when paired with supportive therapies

Because it can target several concerns at once, microneedling is a smart, results-focused option for comprehensive skin renewal.

Here for Sensitive Skin

Am I a good candidate for microneedling?

Microneedling works well for most skin tones and types, including sensitive and oily skin. It's a strong option if you want smoother texture, softer-looking scars, or help with early signs of aging. It is not advised for anyone with active acne, open wounds, an autoimmune disease, or recent cosmetic procedures, as these can increase the risk of complications.

Microneedling Recovery

Mild redness and swelling are common right after microneedling, usually fading within a few hours as healing begins.

For at least 24 hours, avoid direct sun, heavy workouts, hot tubs, saunas, chemical peels, and makeup to protect your freshly treated skin.

During this time, gently cleanse your skin, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen, and follow with a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer to support barrier recovery and comfort.

As tiny microchannels repair, your complexion begins renewing from within, encouraging collagen production, smoother texture, and a more radiant, even-toned appearance with each session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Microneedling is a versatile treatment designed to stimulate collagen, refine texture, and soften the look of scars and fine lines. Below, you'll find answers to common questions patients ask before booking a session with a qualified skincare provider.

Yes. Microneedling is generally considered safe for most darker skin tones when performed by a trained professional. It can minimize hyperpigmentation, acne marks, and scars with a lower risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation than many laser procedures, making it a popular option for melanin-rich skin.

Most clients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 microneedling sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. This schedule supports ongoing collagen production and helps smooth uneven skin texture, soften scars, and refine overall tone. Your provider may adjust the number of visits based on your specific concerns.

Microneedling is best suited for post-acne scarring rather than active breakouts. Treating skin that is free of active lesions promotes cleaner channels, better wound healing, and more effective collagen remodeling. Your provider may recommend addressing active acne first, then scheduling microneedling for residual marks and texture.

It's recommended to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup after microneedling. During this initial healing window, the skin is more vulnerable, so your provider may suggest gentle topical treatments, hydrating serums, and non-comedogenic moisturizers to support recovery and reduce the risk of irritation.

Following microneedling, the skin is temporarily more sensitive to UV rays. Minimize direct sun exposure, seek shade when outdoors, and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. Consistent protection helps safeguard healing tissue, preserve improved skin results, and prevent unwanted pigmentation changes.
