Skin Sessions for a Smoother Look
Before your microneedling procedure begins, a master aesthetician will apply numbing cream to the treatment area. This cream will need to sit for 20-30 minutes to take effect. Once numb, the actual microneedling process will take 20-40 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area. Using a specialized microneedling pen, micro-cuts are created in your skin, which boosts cell turnover, encourages faster healing, and stimulates collagen production for rejuvenation.
Post-treatment, your skin will feel similar to a sunburn for about one day. We recommend avoiding makeup or any skincare products containing active ingredients, like salicylic acid, for 3-5 days to allow for proper healing.

Microneedling FAQs
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which can improve skin texture and appearance.
Microneedling can be used to address a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone. It can also enhance the absorption and effectiveness of topical skincare products.
When performed by a trained and licensed professional, microneedling is generally safe. Potential side effects can include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort. More serious side effects are rare but may include infection or scarring if not done correctly.
The number of microneedling sessions needed varies depending on the specific skin concern and the depth of treatment. Some people see noticeable improvements after just one session, but a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart is often recommended. Usually, optimal results occur after about 3 sessions. You may see initial improvements within a few weeks, with continued improvement over the following months as collagen production increases.
