What Is It
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy — is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a device equipped with ultra-fine needles to create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-channels trigger the body’s natural wound-healing cascade, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for firm, smooth, youthful-looking skin.
Unlike ablative laser treatments, microneedling preserves the outer skin layer (epidermis) while working beneath the surface. This makes microneedling suitable for a wider range of skin types and tones, with significantly less downtime and a lower risk of complications.
A medical-grade microneedling device creates thousands of micro-channels per second for precise collagen stimulation.

Why It Works
Top Benefits of Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling delivers a wide spectrum of skin benefits that few other treatments can match. Here’s what consistent microneedling sessions can achieve for your skin:
01
Reduces Acne Scars
Microneedling breaks down scar tissue and encourages healthy new skin cell growth. Clinical studies show significant improvement in acne scars after a series of sessions.
02
Minimizes Fine Lines
Boosting collagen and elastin production, microneedling plumps the skin from within, softening fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
03
Improves Skin Texture
Patients report smoother, more even skin texture after microneedling. The treatment also reduces hyperpigmentation and dark spots for a radiant glow.
04
Shrinks Enlarged Pores
As collagen builds around pore walls, microneedling can make enlarged pores appear noticeably smaller over the course of treatment.
05
Treats Stretch Marks
Microneedling is one of the few non-surgical treatments proven effective for stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and hips.
06
Boosts Product Absorption
Micro-channels allow topical serums like hyaluronic acid to penetrate far deeper into the skin, significantly amplifying their effectiveness.

Step by Step
The Microneedling Process: What Happens at Your Appointment
1
Consultation & Skin Assessment
Your microneedling journey begins with a personalized consultation. Your provider assesses your skin type, concerns, and goals to determine the ideal needle depth and treatment plan for your unique needs.
2
Topical Numbing Cream
A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area 30–45 minutes before the procedure, ensuring your comfort and minimizing any sensation during the microneedling session.
3
The Microneedling Treatment
Using a medical-grade microneedling device, your provider glides the handpiece across your skin in a systematic pattern, creating thousands of micro-channels per second. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild vibration or gentle tingling.
4
Serum Application
Immediately after microneedling, a nourishing serum — often hyaluronic acid or growth factors — is applied. The open micro-channels allow deep absorption for maximum rejuvenating benefit.
5
Post-Treatment Recovery
Your provider applies a calming hydrating mask and reviews your personalized aftercare routine. Most patients experience mild redness — similar to a sunburn — that resolves within 24–48 hours.

Common Questions
Microneedling FAQ: Your Questions Answered
Is microneedling painful?
▾
Most patients find microneedling very tolerable. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure, and most describe the sensation as a mild vibration or slight tingling. Any discomfort is minimal and temporary — most patients are surprised by how comfortable the treatment is.
How long does a microneedling session take?
▾
A typical microneedling session takes 60–90 minutes in total, including the 30–45-minute numbing cream application. The actual microneedling treatment portion is usually 20–30 minutes depending on the area being treated.
How soon will I see microneedling results?
▾
Many patients notice an immediate post-treatment glow within the first few days. Collagen remodeling continues for 4–6 weeks after each microneedling session, with the most dramatic results typically visible 4–6 weeks after completing your full treatment series.
What is the downtime after microneedling?
▾
Microneedling downtime is minimal. Most patients experience mild redness and slight swelling for 24–48 hours — similar to a moderate sunburn. You can typically return to work the following day, making microneedling an ideal “lunchtime procedure.”
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
▾
Yes — microneedling is frequently and effectively combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), hyaluronic acid serums, or RF (radiofrequency) energy for significantly enhanced results. Our providers will recommend the best combination treatment plan for your specific skin goals.
Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?
▾
Yes — unlike certain laser treatments that carry a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones, microneedling is considered safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types when performed by a trained licensed professional. This is one of microneedling’s key advantages over more aggressive resurfacing options.
How much does microneedling cost?
▾
Microneedling pricing varies based on the treatment area, number of sessions, and any add-ons such as PRP. During your consultation, we provide a personalized treatment plan with completely transparent pricing. Package pricing is available for series bookings — call us for current specials.
How is professional microneedling different from at-home rollers?
▾
Professional microneedling devices reach precise, adjustable depths (up to 3mm) with sterile, single-use needles, ensuring both efficacy and safety. At-home dermarollers use much shorter reusable needles that cannot achieve the same clinical results and carry a higher risk of skin damage and infection when used improperly.
Our patients love their microneedling results — natural, radiant, and long-lasting.
