Microneedling: How It Works, Benefits & More
Non-Invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity.
Microneedling rejuvenates your skin!
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity. Using a specialized device with ultra-fine needles, microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. The result? Firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime.
Microneedling is an effective treatment for:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone and texture
Hyperpigmentation
Skin laxity
Unlike traditional resurfacing treatments that remove layers of skin, microneedling works from the inside out, promoting long-term skin health by encouraging collagen and elastin regeneration.

Microneedling Before Care and Aftercare
Proper preparation and aftercare are essential for optimal microneedling results. Follow these guidelines to ensure your skin heals properly and maximizes collagen production.
Before Care:
Avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week before treatment.
Discontinue retinol, acids (AHAs/BHAs), and exfoliating treatments 5-7 days before your appointment.
Stay hydrated and keep your skin moisturized leading up to your session.
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (like aspirin and ibuprofen) 24-48 hours prior to treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
Aftercare:
Expect some redness and sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn, for 24-48 hours post-treatment.
Avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily.
Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, non-irritating moisturizer.
Avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, saunas, and swimming pools for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
Do not pick or exfoliate peeling skin; let it heal naturally.
Use only gentle, non-active skincare products for the first 3-5 days post-treatment.
Following these steps will help ensure a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.
How Often Should Microneedling Be Done?

The frequency of microneedling depends on your skin concerns, goals, and overall skin condition. Here’s a general guideline to help determine how often you should schedule treatments:
For General Skin Maintenance & Glow: Every 4-6 weeks
For Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Every 4-6 weeks for 3-6 sessions, then maintenance every 3-4 months
For Acne Scarring: Every 4 weeks for 4-6 sessions, then as needed for maintenance
For Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage: Every 4 weeks for 3-5 sessions, depending on severity
For Skin Tightening & Collagen Boosting: Every 4-6 weeks with ongoing treatments for long-term results
Since microneedling triggers the skin’s natural healing response, spacing treatments at least 4 weeks apart ensures proper collagen production and prevents overstimulation of the skin. Many clients see the best results when microneedling is combined with PRF or alternated with laser treatments over a structured period.
Does Microneedling Hurt?

One of the most common questions about microneedling is whether the procedure is painful. While individual pain tolerance varies, most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort rather than actual pain. Here’s what to expect:
Numbing Cream Application: Before the procedure, a topical numbing agent is applied to the skin to minimize discomfort.
Sensation During Treatment: Clients often report a tingling or light scratching sensation as the device moves over the skin.
Post-Treatment Feel: Skin may feel warm and slightly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, for a few hours after the session.
We prioritize your comfort and use high-quality numbing solutions to ensure a pleasant experience. If you have concerns about sensitivity, our specialists will work with you to customize your treatment for maximum comfort.
Microneedling + PRF: The Ultimate Skin Rejuvenation Duo

One of the most advanced microneedling treatments available today is microneedling with PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin). PRF is derived from your own blood and contains a high concentration of growth factors, stem cells, and white blood cells, all of which accelerate healing and improve skin quality.
How It Works
Blood Draw: A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge at a low speed to extract PRF.
Microneedling Process: A professional-grade microneedling device creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production.
PRF Application: The PRF serum is applied directly to the skin, penetrating deeply through the microchannels created during microneedling.
Healing & Regeneration: PRF releases growth factors over time, enhancing the skin’s ability to heal, rejuvenate, and repair itself naturally.
Benefits of Microneedling with PRF
Enhanced Healing: PRF speeds up skin recovery, reducing redness and downtime.
Increased Collagen Production: The slow release of growth factors ensures prolonged collagen stimulation.
Natural & Safe: Because PRF is derived from your own blood, there is zero risk of allergic reactions.
More Dramatic Results: Compared to microneedling alone, microneedling + PRF enhances skin plumpness, reduces fine lines, and improves elasticity more effectively.

The Power of a 6-Month Microneedling & PRF Treatment Plan
For optimal results, we recommend a structured treatment plan alternating microneedling and PRF every month for six months. This approach ensures continuous skin improvement while maximizing collagen production and deep skin renewal.
Why a 6-Month Plan Works Best
Cumulative Results: Skin cells regenerate over time, and each session builds upon the last.
Prevention & Maintenance: Ongoing treatments keep collagen levels high, preventing future signs of aging.
Optimized Healing & Recovery: Alternating between microneedling and PRF each month allows the skin to recover while staying in a consistent state of renewal.
Recommended 6-Month Schedule
Month 1: Microneedling (Face & Neck)
Month 2: Microneedling + PRF
Month 3: Microneedling (Face & Neck)
Month 4: Microneedling + PRF
Month 5: Microneedling (Face & Neck)
Month 6: Microneedling + PRF
This rotation ensures maximum collagen remodeling, leading to firmer, healthier skin with a luminous glow

Is There Downtime with Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. However, the extent of recovery varies based on individual skin sensitivity and treatment depth. Here’s what to expect:
Day 1-2: Redness, mild swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn.
Day 3-5: Light peeling and dryness as the skin begins to regenerate.
Day 5-7: Skin appears smoother and more radiant with improved texture.
After 1 Week: The skin is visibly more refined, with enhanced collagen production continuing over the next few weeks.
Most clients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours, but it’s recommended to avoid direct sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and harsh skincare products during the first few days to ensure optimal healing.
