Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, firmness, and tone. At our practice, we use the medical-grade Exceed microneedling system from Candela, ensuring a safe and effective treatment with proven results.

Microneedling is effective in treating various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone. It also helps improve overall skin texture and firmness.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure your comfort. You may feel a slight prickling sensation, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated.

While some clients see improvements after one session, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically recommended for the best results. Maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects.

There is minimal downtime with microneedling. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity similar to a sunburn for a day or two, but most clients can return to their normal activities shortly after treatment.

Microneedling devices have received FDA clearance for certain uses, such as improving the appearance of fine lines and acne scars. However, not all devices or techniques are FDA-approved, especially when combined with substances like PRP or other topicals. Our licensed professionals are trained to use FDA-cleared devices in a safe and effective manner.
