What concerns can microneedling help with?

It can help refine texture and the look of pores, soften the appearance of fine lines, and improve the look of acne scarring. The treating clinician will tailor the treatment to your concerns during your consultation.

How many sessions will I need?

Results build over time, so a series of sessions is often recommended. During your consultation, the treating clinician will suggest a plan based on your skin and goals.

What are the risks or limitations?

Common effects include redness, mild swelling, and a warm, sunburned sensation for a day or two, with less common risks such as temporary pigment changes or, rarely, infection if aftercare is not followed. Microneedling can improve the appearance of texture, pores, and scarring over a series, but it does not replace deeper resurfacing or surgery. The treating clinician will confirm whether it suits your skin.

How is this different from radiofrequency microneedling?

Traditional microneedling relies on the micro-channels alone to prompt renewal, while radiofrequency microneedling, such as Matrix Pro, adds heat energy to reach deeper. The treating clinician can help determine which is the better fit for you.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Medical facials can support skin health between sessions, while chemical peels can be alternated for additional tone and texture work.

Why Patients Consider Microneedling

When Texture and Fine Lines Won't Budge

You may be frustrated by rough texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, or the lingering marks of past breakouts that everyday skincare cannot seem to reach. You want to support your skin's health at a deeper level and encourage the kind of renewal that topical products alone cannot provide.

Microneedling Explained

How Microneedling Works

Microneedling uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create precise micro-channels in the surface of the skin. These controlled micro-injuries prompt the body's natural wound-healing response, so the controlled injury is only the signal and the repair that follows is what improves the skin. Over a series of sessions, this renewal can help improve texture, refine pores, and soften the appearance of fine lines and scarring.

The Experience

What a Microneedling Session Involves

Numbing for comfort

Your skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment begins.

The treatment pass

The device is guided across the treatment area to create controlled micro-channels that signal the skin's repair response.

A day or two of redness

Redness and a warm, sunburned sensation are common for a day or two, and sun protection is recommended as the skin recovers.

Results build over a series

Texture and tone gradually improve over the weeks that follow as collagen rebuilds, with a series of sessions often recommended.
