MICRO NEEDLING

• Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production for firmer, more youthful skin
• Softens the appearance of crow’s feet and fine lines around the lips
• Reduces forehead lines and frown lines for a smoother complexion
• Enhances the effectiveness and absorption of topical serums and creams
• Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Aids in repairing sun-damaged skin
• Diminishes hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and age spots
• Improves the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and trauma-related scarring
• Helps reduce stretch marks and refine enlarged pores

Microneedling works by naturally stimulating collagen production in scarred areas, helping to repair and smooth the skin from within. The controlled micro-injuries created during treatment help break down thick, fibrous scar tissue and encourage the growth of healthy new skin. As a result, the skin becomes more even in texture and tone. Additionally, microneedling promotes the formation of new capillaries, which enhances blood flow and supports long-term skin regeneration.

Microneedling treatments not only address targeted skin concerns but also promote overall skin rejuvenation. By enhancing micro-circulation and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, microneedling helps strengthen and thicken the dermis—reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The result is smoother texture, a more even skin tone, and a brighter, healthier complexion. Treatments are performed with hydrating hyaluronic acid, or can be customized with specialized serums and skin boosters to suit your individual skincare goals and deliver optimal results.

Microneedling triggers a cascade of fibroblast activity and growth factors that stimulate the production of new skin cells, collagen, and elastin—key components for smooth, healthy skin. This process helps to thicken the epidermis, resulting in a visibly smoother surface. Over time, stretch marks improve in texture, depth, and color, blending more seamlessly with the surrounding skin.

What to Expect During a Microneedling Treatment

Your microneedling session will begin with the application of a topical anesthetic, which is left on for approximately 20 minutes to ensure comfort. The treatment itself takes about 15 minutes, during which a precision-controlled microneedling device  is gently passed over the skin in multiple directions to create microchannels. Following the procedure, a specialized serum is applied to maximize absorption through these channels. For enhanced results, you may also opt for a custom post-treatment mask. The entire process takes approximately one hour from start to finish.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Mild side effects are common and temporary. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or pinpoint bleeding depending on the depth of the treatment. The skin may feel tight, warm, or sunburned for a few hours afterward. In most cases, minor redness and swelling subside within 24 to 48 hours. These reactions are part of the natural healing process and indicate that the skin’s regeneration is underway.

What Results Can I Expect?

You’ll begin to notice a healthy glow and smoother texture within the first week following treatment. Because microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production at a deeper level, the most significant improvements develop gradually over the next 2 to 6 months. Optimal results are typically achieved with a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, although this may vary depending on your skin goals. Over time, you’ll see firmer, more even-toned skin, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and a noticeable softening of acne scars or other textural concerns. Continued improvements can be seen for up to 12 months post-treatment as collagen remodeling continues.

Microneedling vs. Fractional Laser: What’s the Difference?

Both microneedling and fractional laser aim to stimulate skin regeneration by creating controlled micro-injuries, but the mechanism and impact are quite different.

Fractional laser uses heat to create thermal injuries by vaporizing portions of the epidermis. This results in cell necrosis and inflammation, often requiring longer downtime and increasing the risk of pigmentation changes—especially in darker skin tones.

Microneedling, on the other hand, uses fine, mechanical needles to create micro-channels without heat or ablation. This non-thermal approach triggers the release of growth factors from fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and immune cells to stimulate natural skin repair—without damaging melanocytes. As a result, microneedling is safe for all skin types and carries a significantly lower risk of post-treatment pigmentation or inflammation.
