Microneedling

How does Microneedling work?

​

Microneedling uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This process boosts collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. The microchannels created during treatment also enhance the absorption of active skincare ingredients for optimal results.

​

Key Benefits:

​

✔ Enhances the penetration of active skincare ingredients by up to 300%, maximizing the effectiveness of your routine.

Benefits of Microneedling

✔ Improves Skin Texture – Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

✔ Minimizes Scars & Hyperpigmentation – Helps fade acne scars, stretch marks, and dark spots over time.

✔ Enhances Skin Elasticity – Promotes a firmer, more youthful appearance.

​

What to Expect From Your Microneedling Treatments:

​

• A series of 3 to 6 treatments is recommended for noticeable, long-lasting skin rejuvenation.
• While individual results vary, microneedling is a gradual process—scars and fine lines will not disappear overnight, but will improve over time with consistent sessions.
• To support optimal healing and results, use of recommended post-care skincare products for at least one week following each treatment is essential.

​

Before Your Treatment

Your provider will begin by gently cleansing your skin to ensure a clean and sterile surface. A topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure maximum comfort throughout the procedure.

​

During Your Treatment

Once the numbing has taken effect, the Microneedling device will be gently glided across the treatment area. The tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin to stimulate natural collagen production. Most clients describe the sensation as light pressure with a mild buzzing—generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
The full procedure typically takes about 1-2 hours.

​

After Your Treatment

Mild redness—similar to a light sunburn—is common immediately afterward. You may also notice dryness, tightness, or light peeling, all of which are normal and should subside within 24 to 72 hours.

Makeup and sunscreen can be safely applied 24 hours post-treatment. Please refer to your post-care instructions for detailed safety guidelines and recommendations.

​

Pre-Treatment Instructions:

​

✔ Wash your hair before your appointment, as excessive water exposure should be avoided afterward.

✔ Plan for 1-2 days of downtime – redness and mild sensitivity are expected immediately after treatment.

✔ Avoid sun exposure before and after treatment to prevent hyperpigmentation. Use sunscreen daily and wear a hat when outdoors.

​

Important Notes:

​

• Microneedling cannot be performed on active acne-prone skin. If you have active breakouts, please consult a dermatologist and wait until your skin is clear before booking.

• This treatment is best for preventative care, helping to maintain youthful skin and delay signs of aging.

​Please Review and Confirm Before Proceeding With Treatment

​

   Before we begin your microneedling treatment, we kindly ask that you read and agree to the following important points to ensure you have a full understanding of the process and expectations.

•    If you need to cancel, kindly notify us 48hrs in advance.

•    If you've received this information via email or text, there's no need to print it—you can complete and sign everything at our shop.

 

Treatment Expectations: Microneedling is not a quick-fix procedure. Results develop gradually and may take several weeks to become noticeable.
Depending on your skin type, age, and current condition, it may require multiple sessions—and in some cases up to a year—to achieve significant, long-term improvement.

 

Before & After Photos: With your consent, we will take clear photos of your face before and after each session. These images are solely used to document your progress, as changes can be subtle between treatments but add up noticeably over time.

 

Aftercare Commitment: Proper aftercare is essential to ensure the best possible results and avoid complications.

You agree to:

• Use a high-SPF sunscreen daily, reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours.
   

• Follow the aftercare instructions we provide.
   

• Use only the skincare products we recommend to avoid risks such as melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
   

 

The Science Behind Microneedling: 

• Microneedling activates your skin’s natural healing response by stimulating collagen production in deeper skin layers.

• While initial healing begins right away, true collagen remodeling can take up to 4 weeks, with results continuing to improve over time.

• Consistency is key—follow-up sessions every 2 months are recommended for optimal results. However, there's no pressure to continue if you decide not to maintain regular treatments.
