What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive, no-downtime treatment that helps your skin look and act younger. By stimulating your skin’s natural healing processes, microneedling encourages the production of collagen and elastin, revealing healthier, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling uses fine, medical-grade needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger your body’s natural wound-healing response, prompting your skin to generate new collagen and elastin.
This process effectively targets:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Acne and surgical scars
- Skin laxity and texture
For optimal results, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is recommended. Many clients notice improvements after just one or two sessions, but the regeneration of collagen and elastin continues for up to a year following the final treatment.
A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand for comfort, and each session typically takes only 30 minutes.
