Microneedling turns your skin's own healing response into a rejuvenation engine. By creating thousands of micro-channels in the skin, it triggers fresh collagen and elastin production — smoothing texture, softening fine lines and acne scars, and shrinking the look of pores.
How It Works
After numbing, a medical-grade device glides across the skin creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger fresh collagen production. By incorporating an advanced serum, you elevate your treatment into custom mesotherapy — delivering potent active ingredients directly to the mesoderm to accelerate healing and maximize your aesthetic results.
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
- Utilizes concentrated growth factors from your own blood to amplify cellular repair and unlock deep, natural radiance.
- Hydrating Skin Booster
- Delivers intense moisture deep within the tissue to instantly plump the skin and refine overall texture.
- PDRN (Salmon DNA)
- Biologically repairs damaged skin cells from the inside out, calming inflammation while targeting fine lines and scars. Patients who are allergic to salmon or fish should refrain from this add-on serum.
- Exosomes
- Infuses microscopic signaling molecules that dramatically speed up post-treatment recovery and supercharge collagen synthesis.
What To Expect
Expect a few days of redness, like a mild to moderate sunburn, followed by a noticeable glow within the first two weeks. Occasionally, you may notice minor pinpoint bruising or track marks from the device, as well as dry, rough skin followed by light, flaky peeling of old surface skin cells. Collagen keeps building for months; a series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart delivers the most dramatic texture improvement.
Frequently asked questions
Does microneedling hurt?
A medical-grade numbing cream is applied first, so most patients feel only light vibration and pressure during treatment.
Essential post-care instructions
How you treat your skin in the days after microneedling shapes the result as much as the treatment itself.
- The 24-hour rule
- Do not apply any makeup, sunscreens, or heavy creams for the first 24 hours. Keep the skin clean and use only the mild cleanser or hydrating serum provided by your injector.
- Strict sun protection
- Your skin is highly vulnerable to UV damage after microneedling. Avoid direct sun exposure entirely for the first 48 hours, and apply a physical (mineral-based) SPF daily starting on day two.
- Hands off
- Avoid picking, scratching, or scrubbing any peeling skin, as this can cause scarring or hyperpigmentation. Let the skin flake off naturally.
- Hold active ingredients
- Stop using retinoids, vitamin C, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), and exfoliating scrubs for five to seven days post-treatment to avoid severe irritation.
What should I do before my treatment?
A little preparation in the week beforehand reduces bruising and protects your skin barrier.
- 7 days before
- Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin), fish oil, omega-3s, and high-dose vitamin E to minimize bruising. Use Tylenol if needed. If you are on a medically prescribed blood thinner, please notify our team prior to your treatment.
- 5 to 7 days before
- Pause all retinoids (Retin-A, retinol), exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), waxing, and hair removal creams to protect your skin barrier.
- 48 hours before
- Avoid alcohol, which increases bleeding, and direct sun exposure. Your session cannot be performed on sunburned skin.
- Cold sore prone?
- If you get facial cold sores, notify our team so we can provide a preventative antiviral prescription to start two days before your appointment.
How many sessions do I need?
A single session delivers a fresh glow, but collagen remodeling takes repetition — a series of three sessions is the sweet spot for texture, scarring, and fine lines.
