who, what and why?
what is microneedling?
microneedling utilizes a device containing fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling stimulates the body's natural healing response and promotes the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
during the procedure, the needles penetrate the top layer of the skin, creating microchannels that trigger the body's healing process. this leads to increased blood flow, the release of growth factors, and the generation of new skin cells. the controlled injury to the skin prompts the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in skin rejuvenation and improved texture.
who is microneedling ideal for?
microneedling is often used to address a variety of skin concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores. the procedure is versatile and can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, hands, and even the scalp.
why get microneedling?
in addition to its skin rejuvenation benefits, microneedling can enhance the absorption of topical skincare products, allowing them to penetrate more deeply into the skin and maximize their effectiveness. this makes it an excellent complement to personalized skincare regimens.

what to expect
prep
Drink lots of water in the days prior to your appointment.
Avoid sun exposure for a few weeks prior to your appointment.
Scale back on topical exfoliants, including acids and retinoids, in the days leading up to your appointment.
Avoid alcohol a day or two before your treatment (sorry!)
Avoid Aspirin, Ibuprofen, fish oil, and Vitamin E for 10-14 days prior to treatment.
durring
If you opted for numbing, your provider will apply numbing cream to the area prior to treatment. You won’t feel any pain, however you may feel a slight stinging sensation and vibrations from the microneedling pen.
If you get cold sores, let your provider know so they can prescribe a preventative medication.
You may experience stinging and redness (like a sunburn) immediately after treatment. Both are normal, and redness will subside after a few days.
aftercare
Go without makeup the day and night of your treatment.
Apply sunscreen like it’s your job — regularly and thoroughly!
Avoid exfoliating or using any products with active ingredients until your skin is completely back to normal — your provider will advise how soon you will be able to return to your regular skincare routine.

“ having done microneedling before, the skinpen treatment was a breeze in comparison. the numbing made it super comfortable and around the three week mark I could see some fine lines softening. i’m looking forward to a full series and will definitely be adding this to my skin treatment rotation!”
