Microneedling
Microneedling treatments help support the skin’s natural renewal process by stimulating collagen and elastin production to improve overall skin texture, tone, fine lines, acne scarring, and skin quality. Ideal for ongoing skin rejuvenation and maintenance, microneedling can help support smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.
Collagen Induction Therapy
Microneedling creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin using fine, sterile needles. These micro-injuries trigger your body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production from within.
As the skin heals, it rebuilds itself stronger — reducing the appearance of scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. The micro-channels also create a delivery system for serums and growth factors to penetrate deeper than topical application alone.
Selection includes needle depth and treatment intensity based on your specific concerns and skin tolerance. Each session is calibrated for your skin — not a generic protocol.
A topical anesthetic is applied for comfort, and your skin is cleansed and prepped for optimal treatment.
The microneedling device creates controlled micro-channels while nutrient-rich serums are applied, allowing deep penetration.
Calming, healing products are applied to support your skin's recovery. You'll receive aftercare instructions to maximize results.
Microneedling Treats
Customized Microneedling Treatments
Microneedling is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Treatment depth, intensity, technique, and supportive serums must all be customized based on the skin’s condition, sensitivity level, and overall treatment goals. Different skin concerns require different treatment approaches, and every microneedling protocol is selected based on what your skin needs most.
A variety of customized microneedling therapies are available depending on the degree of correction and skin rejuvenation desired, ranging from gentle maintenance-focused treatments to more advanced corrective collagen-building protocols targeting concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, texture irregularities, acne scarring, pigmentation concerns, and overall skin aging.
Customized Treatment Levels
Microneedling treatments may include lighter skin rejuvenation and maintenance-focused protocols, brightening and pigmentation-support therapies, collagen-support treatments for fine lines and early skin laxity, or more advanced corrective therapies designed for deeper aging concerns and overall skin repair.
Targeted Serum Support
Customized treatment serums and supportive ingredients may be incorporated during treatment to help support hydration, brightening, collagen support, skin recovery, and overall rejuvenation based on your specific skin concerns.
Progressive Skin Improvement
Microneedling treatments are often most effective when performed as part of a customized treatment series or long-term maintenance plan, with treatment protocols evolving as the skin responds and improves over time.
What to Expect
Consultation & Preparation
Your skin is carefully evaluated to determine the most appropriate microneedling treatment, treatment intensity, and supportive serums based on your skin concerns, goals, sensitivities, and overall skin condition. Topical numbing may be applied prior to treatment to help maximize comfort depending on the treatment protocol being performed.
The Treatment
The microneedling device glides across your skin in systematic passes. You'll feel pressure and slight vibration. Serums are applied throughout for deep infusion.
Healing & Recovery
Following treatment, temporary redness, warmth, tightness, dryness, swelling, sensitivity, or a sunburn-like appearance is common and varies depending on the intensity of the treatment performed and individual skin response. Mild rejuvenation treatments may involve minimal downtime, while more advanced corrective treatments can require additional recovery time. Healing timelines and visible results vary based on skin condition, treatment intensity, lifestyle factors, and aftercare.
Treatment Series & Maintenance
Microneedling often delivers the best results when performed as part of a customized treatment series or ongoing maintenance plan. Treatment frequency and the number of recommended sessions depend on your specific concerns, treatment goals, skin response, and the type of microneedling therapy being performed. Improvements in skin texture, tone, collagen support, and overall skin quality continue to develop progressively over time.
Microneedling Is Ideal For
Science-Backed Skin Renewal
You want proven, medical-grade collagen induction — not a trendy treatment. Customized treatment techniques are designed to support visible improvement in skin texture, scarring, tone, and overall skin quality over time.

Treatment plans are customized around your goals, skin condition, and lifestyle. Depending on the treatment intensity, downtime can range from minimal redness to several days of temporary sensitivity or recovery, while improvements continue developing gradually over time.
Targeted Corrective Treatments
Different microneedling therapies are available depending on the level of correction needed, ranging from mild skin rejuvenation and maintenance treatments to more advanced corrective therapies focused on collagen support, texture refinement, pigmentation concerns, aging skin, scars, and overall skin repair.
Microneedling FAQ
Topical numbing is typically applied before treatment to help maximize comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure, vibration, warmth, or temporary sensitivity during the procedure. Comfort levels can vary depending on the treatment intensity, treatment area, and individual sensitivity.
Many clients notice an initial improvement in skin texture, hydration, and overall radiance within the first couple of weeks as the skin heals. Because collagen remodeling is a gradual process, improvements in skin quality, texture, firmness, and overall rejuvenation continue developing over the following weeks and months. More significant corrective results are often achieved through a customized series of treatments and ongoing maintenance based on your skin goals.
Downtime varies depending on the type and intensity of the microneedling treatment performed, as well as your individual skin response. Temporary redness, warmth, tightness, swelling, dryness, or sensitivity similar to a mild to moderate sunburn is common after treatment. Some clients recover within a couple of days, while more advanced corrective treatments may require additional recovery time. Post-treatment instructions, healing expectations, and recommendations for makeup and skincare use will be provided based on your specific treatment.
More corrective concerns such as acne scarring, texture irregularities, pigmentation concerns, or advanced signs of aging often benefit from a customized treatment series, while maintenance treatments are typically recommended after an initial corrective series has been completed to help support long-term results and ongoing skin health.
Yes — it's one of the most effective treatments for acne scarring. The collagen induction process fills in depressed scars and smooths uneven texture over a series of treatments.
