Microneedling & Resurfacing

Microneedling

Collagen-induction treatment to soften the look of acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture.

About the Treatment

what to expect.

Traditional microneedling uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. This process supports the skin's natural renewal response and can gradually improve the appearance of facial acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture.

Unlike Morpheus8, traditional microneedling does not deliver radiofrequency energy. Your provider will assess your skin, goals, and health history to determine whether microneedling is an appropriate part of your personalized treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

good to know.

How is traditional microneedling different from Morpheus8?: Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled microchannels without radiofrequency energy. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with RF energy, so the two treatments work differently and may suit different goals.
What should I expect after treatment?: Temporary redness, tightness, dryness, sensitivity, or light peeling can occur after microneedling. Recovery varies, and your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions.
Will I need more than one treatment?: Some clients may benefit from a series, while others may need a different approach. Your recommended plan will depend on your skin, treatment goals, and response.
Is microneedling right for everyone?: No. Certain skin conditions, active infections, medical conditions, medications, or a tendency to develop raised scars may affect candidacy. A consultation helps your provider review the benefits and risks for you.
How should I care for my skin afterward?: Skin may be temporarily more sensitive to sunlight and skincare products. Follow your provider's instructions, use gentle products, and avoid irritating ingredients until your skin has recovered.
