What to Expect From Your Visit
Pre- & Post-Care
Your skin may appear pink or feel warm for a short time after your appointment. Avoid touching the treated area, and follow your provider’s aftercare instructions to support comfortable recovery and healthy skin renewal.
Wear sunscreen and limit direct sun exposure while your skin heals. Protecting your skin from UV damage helps support the recovery process and maintain a healthy, radiant complexion following treatment.
Use mild cleansers and hydrating skincare products until your provider advises returning to your routine. Avoid harsh exfoliants or active ingredients during the initial healing period to minimize irritation and support results.

Know Before You Glow
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.
Yes. While many patients choose treatment on the face, other areas may also benefit, depending on your concerns and goals. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate the areas you would like to improve and recommend whether treatment is appropriate for those locations.
Every patient’s skin is different, so your provider creates a personalized treatment plan based on your concerns, skin condition, and desired results. Recommendations may change as your skin responds, so each visit continues to support your overall skincare goals and long-term skin health.
If you want to add additional volume, we may recommend enhancing your treatment with injections of Restylane. Dysport is another complementary injectable that enhances smoothness.
Your provider will recommend when it is appropriate to resume wearing makeup based on how your skin heals. Allowing your skin time to recover before applying cosmetic products can help support the healing process and reduce unnecessary irritation after microneedling.
Healthy adults can benefit from treatment, provided it aligns with their skin concerns and goals. Your provider considers your skin condition, lifestyle, and overall health when developing recommendations designed to help you achieve natural-looking improvements.
For optimal skin health, we may recommend routine facials or hormone replacement therapy. These services enhance cellular turnover and revitalize your skin’s youthful foundation.
Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure and follow a consistent skincare routine. Scheduling maintenance treatments can help preserve your results. Healthy lifestyle habits also support your skin’s appearance, allowing you to enjoy smoother, more refreshed skin for longer.
Microneedling can be performed throughout the year, although many patients choose cooler months, when they spend less time in direct sunlight. Regardless of the season, protecting your skin with sunscreen and following aftercare instructions helps support healthy, radiant skin.
