How much does microneedling cost?

The cost of microneedling depends on the number of sessions recommended for your specific skin concerns, since most patients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 treatments rather than a single visit. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin and outline a personalized treatment plan along with associated costs, so you know what to expect before starting.

How long do microneedling results last?

Microneedling results build gradually as your skin produces new collagen and elastin, with texture improvements noticeable right after treatment and more significant results visible within 4 to 6 weeks. Because the treatment works by stimulating your body's own repair process, results tend to look natural and can be maintained with periodic follow-up sessions as recommended by your provider.

Am I a good candidate for microneedling?

Microneedling is a good option for patients dealing with fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, or uneven skin texture and tone who want a non-surgical way to improve their skin's appearance. It can be combined with PRF therapy or topical serums to enhance results. During your consultation, your provider will review your skin condition and medical history to confirm it's the right treatment for you.

Are there risks or side effects with microneedling?

Side effects from microneedling are generally mild and short-lived, most commonly redness similar to a mild sunburn that resolves within one to two days. Serious complications are rare when the treatment is performed by a trained provider using sterile equipment. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions to support smooth healing and minimize any irritation.

Achieve a fresher, more youthful appearance with microneedling.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins for maintaining firm, smooth, and youthful skin. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be used to address various concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. By boosting collagen production, microneedling helps to improve skin tone, reduce the appearance of imperfections, and restore a radiant complexion.

Benefits of Microneedling

Stimulates Collagen Production

Encourages the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which helps to firm and tighten the skin for a more youthful appearance.

Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Smooths out the skin’s surface, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and mouth.

Improves Skin Texture

Minimizes the appearance of acne scars, enlarged pores, and rough texture, leaving the skin softer and more even-toned.

Enhances Product Absorption

The microchannels created during microneedling increase the absorption of serums and skincare products, boosting their effectiveness.

Safe for All Skin Types

Suitable for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for a wide range of skin concerns.

Minimal Downtime

The procedure involves little to no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities with minimal interruption.

How Does Microneedling Work?

During a microneedling treatment, a specialized device with fine needles is gently rolled or pressed over the skin’s surface. The needles create tiny, controlled micro-injuries, which stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This process boosts collagen and elastin production, promoting skin regeneration and the growth of new, healthy cells. The microchannels created by the needles also enhance the skin’s ability to absorb topical serums, such as hyaluronic acid or growth factors, maximizing their effectiveness. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated, and involves minimal discomfort. After the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within a day or two, revealing a smoother, firmer complexion.
