More Intense-Sounding Than It Actually Is

A device with very fine needles creates controlled, extremely small punctures in the top layers of your skin, which triggers your body’s natural healing process and ramps up collagen and elastin production in the treated area.

It’s one of the most consistently recommended in-office skin treatments for a reason. It works with your skin’s own repair process rather than around it.

What It's Actually Good For

This treatment is especially effective for acne scarring, particularly the shallower, rolling type, along with early signs of aging and fine lines for patients who aren’t ready for something like Botox. It also helps with enlarged pores or uneven texture, supporting collagen production that tightens the surrounding skin over time.

We'll Be Honest If It's Not the Right Tool

We’ll be honest if microneedling isn’t the right tool for what you’re dealing with. Significant volume loss, deep static wrinkles, or active inflamed acne usually call for a different approach, and we’ll point you toward the right one.

What Happens During Treatment

Tap each piece for detail.
The micro-channels created during treatment temporarily increase how well your skin absorbs topical products, so we often pair sessions with medical-grade serums.
Most patients need a series of sessions, spaced several weeks apart, since collagen remodeling builds cumulatively rather than all at once.
You’ll likely notice mild redness immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within a day or two.
We’ll walk you through simple aftercare, including sun protection during your skin’s brief sensitive window after treatment.

Good Fit, or a Different Approach

Scarring, Lines & Texture

Shallower, rolling acne scars, early fine lines for patients not ready for Botox, and enlarged pores or uneven texture all respond well to microneedling.

When We'll Point You Elsewhere

Microneedling FAQs

How many microneedling sessions will I need?
This depends on what you’re treating and how your skin responds, so we don’t quote a flat number before your consultation. Most patients benefit from a series spaced several weeks apart.
Most patients describe mild discomfort rather than pain, especially with topical numbing applied beforehand, which is our standard approach.
Typically a day or two of visible redness, similar to a mild sunburn, with most patients returning to their normal routine quickly.
Yes, particularly shallower, rolling scars. Deeper scarring may respond better to a combination approach, which we can discuss during your consultation.
