Microneedling
Unlock Your Skin’s Potential
Ever wondered how to give your skin a fresh start without surgery or long recovery times?
That’s where microneedling comes in a fantastic skincare method that helps your skin look its best. Microneedling has become a popular choice because it’s a safe and effective way to refresh your skin and bring back its natural radiance.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Learning about how microneedling works is essential before your treatment.
During microneedling, your technician will use a special device covered in tiny, hollow needles. This device is gently rolled over your skin, especially on your face, to help with aging concerns.
As the device moves over your skin, the tiny needles make very small, almost invisible, injuries. This is actually a good thing because these little injuries send a message to your body: “Hey, let’s make more collagen!” Collagen is like the secret sauce that keeps your skin looking plump and firm. As we age, our collagen levels decrease, which leads to wrinkles and sagging.
And here’s the fantastic part—microneedling not only helps boost collagen but also tackles other skin concerns. It can improve the look of scars, shrink pores, reduce stretch marks, calm down skin redness like rosacea, and even help with uneven skin tone.
You might worry it sounds scary, but fear not! Microneedling is generally very safe, especially when performed by our well-trained microneedling technicians.

How to Prepare for Microneedling?
Before microneedling, let your skin relax. Avoid using too many products or treatments.
2. Stay Natural:
Skip exfoliating for a few days before your treatment. Let your skin be as natural as possible.
3. Medication Pause:
If you use acne medications, stop them a few weeks before microneedling. This helps your skin prepare for the procedure.
4. Skip Certain Products:
Steer clear of any topical retinoids or antibiotics for at least a week leading up to your appointment.
5. No Pain Meds:
Refrain from using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen, as they can affect the healing process.
6. Sunscreen Shield:
Protect your face by wearing sunscreen for two weeks before your microneedling appointment.
7. Hair Removal Hiatus:
Avoid shaving, waxing, or using hair removal products on your skin during the week before your treatment.
By following these simple steps, you’ll be all set for your microneedling session and can get the most out of this skin-revitalizing experience.
