what is microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a device with fine, medical-grade needles to create tiny punctures in the skin.


These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are proteins that help the skin maintain its youthful appearance and elasticity.


The micro-injuries created by microneedling also allow for better absorption of topical products, enhancing their effectiveness. This is particularly beneficial for addressing concerns like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and wrinkles, as the increased absorption can help deliver active ingredients deeper into the skin.


The result of microneedling is firmer, smoother, and more rejuvenated skin. It can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture and tone.


Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, and décolletage. Overall, microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for achieving smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

  • Consultation

    Before your microneedling treatment, we conduct a detailed consultation to understand your skin concerns, discuss your desired outcomes, and address any questions or apprehensions you may have. 


    We assess your skin's condition and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. This personalized approach ensures that your microneedling treatment is effective and delivers the results you desire.

  • Microneedling Preparation

    On the day of your treatment, we prepare a water-based solution based on your skin concerns and goals. This infusion targets your unique skin issues, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or hyperpigmentation. Before we begin the treatment, we cleanse the treatment area thoroughly to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils. 


    To ensure your comfort during the procedure, we apply a medical-grade numbing cream to the treatment area. This numbing cream helps minimize any discomfort you may experience during the microneedling process, ensuring a more comfortable and pleasant treatment experience.

  • Treatment Process

    During the microneedling treatment, most clients report feeling only a mild sensation, such as vibration or a slight prickling feeling. This sensation is normal and indicates that the microneedling device is stimulating collagen production in the skin. 


    The treatment is generally well-tolerated, even in more sensitive areas like the forehead or around the eyes. After we complete the microneedling, we apply a soothing cooling sheet mask to your skin. This mask helps calm any heat or tightness you may feel after the treatment, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.

Post-Treatment Care

  • Sun Protection

    It's essential to protect your skin from direct sunlight for at least a week after microneedling. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher generously to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Consider using a physical protectant like a mineral sunscreen for added protection.

  • Hydrate Your Skin

    Opt for a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin moisturized and support the healing process. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides to lock in moisture and promote skin health.

  • Choose Gentle Products

    During the initial days post-treatment, prioritize mild skincare products. Avoid harsh ingredients like exfoliants or retinoids, as they may irritate the skin and hinder the healing process. Instead, opt for soothing ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile.

  • Use Mild Cleansers

    Opt for a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser to cleanse your skin. Avoid using harsh scrubs or cleansers that may further irritate your skin post-treatment. Look for a cleanser specifically formulated for sensitive skin to ensure gentle yet effective cleansing.

  • Avoid Excessive Sweating

    Steer clear of activities that may cause you to sweat excessively, such as strenuous exercise, sauna use, or hot tubs, for the first few days post-treatment. Sweating can irritate the skin and hinder the healing process, so it's best to stay cool and relaxed.

benefits of microneedling

Discover the transformative benefits of microneedling and unlock the secret to radiant, youthful skin.

  • Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles

    Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, firmer skin and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This process promotes cell turnover, resulting in a more youthful complexion.

  • Improved Sun Damage

    The treatment can fade sunspots and pigmentation issues, resulting in a more even skin tone and a rejuvenated complexion. Microneedling also helps to repair the skin's barrier, which can be damaged by sun exposure, leading to healthier, more resilient skin. If you are looking for more deeper exfoliation to get rid of sun damage, then you can pick our chemical peel treatment.

  • Diminished Acne Scars

    Microneedling helps break down scar tissue and stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin cells, reducing the appearance of acne scars over time. It also promotes the healing of acne lesions, preventing future scarring.

  • Reduced Stretch Marks

    By promoting collagen production and skin regeneration, microneedling can improve the appearance of stretch marks, making them less noticeable. This process helps to rebuild the skin's structure, smoothing out the appearance of stretch marks.

  • Minimized Surgical Scars

    The treatment can also help improve the appearance of surgical scars by promoting collagen remodeling and skin regeneration. This can soften the edges of scars and improve their texture, making them less visible.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is microneedling painful?

    While some patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize any discomfort. The sensation experienced during microneedling is often described as a slight pricking or stinging sensation. However, the numbing cream helps to alleviate this sensation, making the treatment more comfortable. 


    Additionally, the depth of the needles can be adjusted based on individual tolerance levels. Overall, most patients find the treatment to be tolerable and well worth the results, especially considering the transformative benefits it offers for skin rejuvenation and improvement in various skin concerns.

  • Is there anyone who should not undergo microneedling?

    Microneedling may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions, such as active acne, eczema, or psoriasis, as well as those with a history of keloid scarring or skin infections. It's important to consult with a skincare professional before undergoing microneedling to determine if it's the right treatment for you. 


    Additionally, pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid microneedling due to potential risks. Always disclose any medical conditions or concerns to your skincare professional to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan.

  • How long do the results of microneedling last?

    The duration of microneedling results can be influenced by individual skin care practices and lifestyle choices. Typically, results can endure from several months to up to a year. 


    To prolong the benefits, it's advisable to adhere to a consistent skincare regimen and consider maintenance treatments as recommended by your skincare professional.
