Microneedling is a minimally invasive facial treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers your body's natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin to visibly smooth texture, soften fine lines, and reduce acne scars over time. It's ideal for patients seeking natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Microneedling facial is safe for most skin types when performed by a trained professional.
We start by assessing your skin, listening to your goals, and creating a personalized plan. This conversation determines whether microneedling is right for you and how many sessions you'll likely need.
A topical anesthetic is applied for 15-20 minutes so you're comfortable during treatment. While it works, we cleanse and prep your skin thoroughly.
Using the SkinPen device, we carefully create micro-channels across the treatment area. Most clients feel warmth and mild pressure, nothing sharp. The entire process takes 30-60 minutes depending on what we're treating.
We apply a soothing serum and medical-grade SPF immediately after. You'll receive detailed home-care instructions covering the next few weeks, what to expect, what to avoid, and when your skin will be ready for normal activities. Most clients return to work the next day with minimal redness.
