Microneedling

This is the most common question we get about our microneedling treatments, and it’s understandable. That being said, most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment is.

We apply a topical numbing cream before we get started, so the most you’ll feel is some pressure or a light scratching sensation. Your comfort is always our top priority.

We offer SkinPen microneedling and Virtue RF microneedling for both the face and body. SkinPen is great for improving texture, tone, and overall skin quality, while Virtue RF adds radiofrequency energy for enhanced tightening and deeper rejuvenation. Our Belmont location also offers Skintylus microneedling. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the option that best fits your skin goals.

Many people notice brighter, smoother skin within a few weeks of their first treatment. Microneedling creates results that compound over time with each treatment. Because it encourages your body’s natural collagen production, improvements continue over the entire series of treatments, with the best results developing after completing the whole treatment plan.

Everyone’s skin is different, but most patients see the best results with a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced several weeks apart. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan based on your skin concerns and desired outcomes.

Right after treatment, your skin may look slightly red and feel warm or tight—similar to a mild sunburn. This typically fades within a day or two. Most patients can return to normal activities quickly, making microneedling a great option with minimal downtime.

Absolutely! Microneedling pairs well with treatments like PDRN, PRP, chemical peels, or specialized serums to enhance results. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best combination for your skin goals.

After treatment, it’s important to keep your skin clean, hydrated, and protected from the sun. We’ll provide simple at-home routine recommendations to support healing and maximize your results.

Microneedling is especially effective for improving the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and mild skin laxity. The needles help break up the scar tissue and encourage the body to produce new collagen, leading to smoother skin overall. It works well on both the face and body and is safe for a variety of skin types.

Yes. Laser resurfacing is a popular alternative that targets texture, tone, and signs of aging using advanced light-based technology. If microneedling isn’t the right fit, we’ll guide you toward the treatment that best supports your skin goals. We also often recommend medical-grade facials or chemical peels alongside microneedling treatments as alternatives.
