Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates micro-channels in the skin using ultra-fine needles, stimulating natural healing for a firmer, radiant appearance.
Microneedling glides a specialized pen across your skin to make tiny micro-punctures, jumpstarting natural repair and allowing deeper rejuvenation from the inside out.
Microneedling boosts collagen production to treat fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven texture, acne scarring, and traumatic scars.
For optimal collagen induction, scar revision, and skin rejuvenation, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is typically recommended. Maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months help sustain your collagen production.
Microneedling is highly effective for improving the appearance of acne and traumatic scars. This treatment trigger's the body’s natural healing response, releasing growth factors that repair damage and encourage the formation of new, smoother tissue.
The primary target areas for microneedling are the face, neck, and chest, focusing on improving skin architecture, aging signs, and discoloration.
Before your Microneedling appointment, stop using any irritating products 5 days prior, and inform your practitioner if you have a history of cold sores so an antiviral medication can be prescribed to prevent a breakout. Schedule your appointment carefully, as your skin will be red and hypersensitive to sun and heat following treatment. Please see full pre-treatment instructions here.
After your Microneedling appointment, your skin will feel hot and look flushed for a few hours. Avoid makeup, harsh products, and active ingredients for at least 24 hours (or as instructed with your post-care kit/catalyst), and avoid direct sun exposure. Cleanse gently, use physical SPF 30–50+, and moisturize frequently as light peeling or a dry "sandpaper" texture develops over days 1 through 7 before resuming active products after one week. Please see full post-treatment instructions here.
While microneedling is generally not painful, there can be some mild discomfort. We apply topical anesthetic before treatment to help with this.
Visible improvements often appear within a few days or weeks of a SkinSpirit session. Because collagen production continues over time, your results will typically continue to improve for up to six months after the treatment.
Most SkinSpirit patients return to their daily routine immediately. However, the total healing time depends on the emphasis of the treatment. On average, the skin might be pink 1 to 3 days afterwards and there may be some flaking as the skin regenerates.
In most cases, yes! Microneedling treatments can frequently be performed on the same day as your consultation, provided your skin is prepped and clear of active breakouts or irritation. Numbing cream is applied prior to the procedure. We recommend contacting your local clinic ahead of time to confirm provider availability.
