About Microneedling
How Microneedling Works
A device with fine, sterile needles is moved across the skin to create thousands of tiny punctures in the outer layers. These micro-injuries trigger the body's wound healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. As the skin heals over the following weeks, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in texture. Many providers apply serums during or after treatment to enhance absorption while the micro-channels are open.
Who It's For
Microneedling is commonly chosen by people looking to improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and stretch marks. It is suitable for most skin types and tones. It is popular among adults of all ages who want to improve their skin without more invasive procedures.
What to Expect
A typical microneedling session takes 30 to 60 minutes, including preparation and numbing time. A topical numbing cream is usually applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. Most people describe the sensation as a mild prickling or vibrating feeling. After treatment, expect redness similar to a mild sunburn that typically lasts 1 to 3 days. Most people return to normal activities within a day or two.
