What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, tone, and overall skin quality.

What skin concerns does microneedling treat?
Microneedling can improve fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin dullness. It also helps improve skin firmness and elasticity.

How does microneedling work?
The micro-channels created during treatment trigger the skin’s natural healing response. As collagen and elastin rebuild, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even over time. These micro-channels also allow for enhanced absorption of topical serums and skin boosters.

Is numbing used before treatment?
Yes. A topical numbing cream is applied for approximately 45 minutes prior to treatment to ensure your comfort. Most patients find microneedling very tolerable once fully numbed.

What are skin boosters and can they be added?
Boosters are specialized serums applied during microneedling to target specific concerns such as hydration, pigmentation, acne, inflammation, or aging. Options may include hyaluronic acid, aqua gold, growth factors, exosomes, or polynucleotides, depending on your skin’s needs.

What does the treatment feel like?
After numbing, most patients experience a mild pressure or vibrating sensation rather than pain. Areas with thinner skin may feel slightly more sensitive, but discomfort is generally minimal.

Is there downtime after microneedling?
Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24–48 hours. Mild swelling, dryness, or flaking may occur and typically resolves within a few days.

When will I see results?
Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin within a week. Collagen production continues over several weeks, with progressive improvement after each session.

How many treatments will I need?
A series of 3–6 treatments, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart, is commonly recommended. Maintenance treatments may be advised to preserve results.

What is the difference between microneedling and RF microneedling?
Traditional microneedling creates micro-injuries at the surface and upper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen. RF microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered into deeper layers of the skin, providing more intensive collagen remodeling and skin tightening. RF microneedling is often recommended for more advanced concerns such as skin laxity, deeper wrinkles, and acne scarring.

Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes. Traditional microneedling is safe for all skin tones and can be customized for individual concerns. RF microneedling is also safe for most skin types when performed by trained providers.
