Microneedling

The alternative to lasers and peels

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that helps plump, firm, and strengthen the skin while minimizing the appearance of scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture. This treatment works by using tiny needles to create controlled micro-punctures in the skin, which stimulate the body's natural healing process. This triggers the release of cytokines and growth factors that remodel scar tissue and encourage new collagen and elastin production.


As a non-ablative skin treatment, microneedling rejuvenates the deeper layers of the skin without removing the surface, making it safe and effective for a variety of concerns including acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, discoloration, and skin laxity.


The CosmoPen® is a medical-grade, FDA-approved microneedling system that unlike first-generation devices, creates the highest number of micro-channels per second on the market making it up to 20% faster and more effective than most alternatives. It's customizable depth and speed settings allow treatments to be tailored to your unique skin needs and can also be combined with other services to further enhance results.

Recommended Add-Ons

VAMP PDRN

VAMP PDRN

VAMP PDRN

 VAMP™ is a powerful bio-revitalizing solution that features a sterile, topical patent-pending blend of 11 vitamins, 23 amino acids, 6 minerals, hyaluronic acid, and polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN), also known as Salmon DNA. In Korean skincare, this treatment is often referred as the "glass skin facial" and offers a next-level approach to restoring a healthy, luminous glow. During microneedling, VAMP is infused directly into the skin to accelerate healing, while deeply replenishing and repairing the skin at a cellular level. By strengthening the skin barrier and promoting collagen regeneration, it helps refine texture, tighten pores, smooth fine lines, and restore lasting hydration for a youthful, radiant complexion. This treatment includes the face and neck.

BioRePeel

VAMP PDRN

VAMP PDRN

BioRePeel® is an advanced rejuvenation treatment used in combination with microneedling to enhance results and promote rapid cell turnover. This unique, two-phase chemical peel combines exfoliation with regenerative biostimulation to support natural collagen production without over-drying or irritating the skin, normally associated with peels. Designed to bypass the superficial layers, BioRePeel delivers powerful active ingredients deep into the skin with little to no visible peeling. It's formula includes a potent blend of 30% TCA, 6 acids, 4 amino acids, and vitamins C and B2 that work synergistically to smooth texture, brighten tone, tighten pores, and minimize fine lines. It is especially beneficial for scaring and stretch marks.

Advanced Facial

Advanced Facial

Adding on a Hydrafacial or Diamond Glow ensures your skin receives a comprehensive treatment, addressing various concerns simultaneously. An advanced facial will deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and remove impurities, while infusing your skin with nourishing serums. By combing one of these treatments with microneedling, you're treating your skin from the inside out and the outside in, leaving your complexion visibly smoother, more radiant, and deeply revitalized.


Hydrafacial | $149


Diamond Glow | $165

BBL

Advanced Facial

Advanced Facial

Enhance your microneedling results with the power of BBL (BroadBand Light) for a more complete skin correction. While microneedling stimulates collagen and improves texture from within, BBL targets superficial pigmentation and vascular concerns such as sun damage, redness, and uneven tone. This combination allows us to treat both the structure and the surface of the skin in one session, boosting overall clarity, brightness, and smoothness. BBL also helps reduce inflammation and promote a more even, radiant complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Microneedling is suitable for all skin types, all year-round, but is especially effective for those seeking a firmer complexion. Individuals concerned about wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and overall skin texture are good candidates. Skin types of all shades can benefit from it.


While Microneedling is safe and effective for most people, some individuals may not be ideal candidates due to factors that could increase risks or impact results. Medical clearance may be required for certain conditions. Please consult with your healthcare provider if you are unsure. Precautions to consider: 


  • Pregnancy - consult with your healthcare provider first.
  • Patients who are undergoing treatment for skin cancer.
  • Accutane - must wait at least 6 months.
  • Compromised skin (dermatitis, sunburn, open wounds or sores, infection, severe rosacea or acne) in the treatment area.
  • Autoimmune conditions that affect skin healing (like lupus or active vitiligo) - consult with your healthcare provider first.
  • History of keloids or poor wound healing.
  • Bleeding disorders or dysfunction.


Usually you will see initial improvements in just 2 days as collagen production kicks in, with the best results becoming more apparent over the next 1-6 weeks. More significant results will occur after 3-6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. Collagen remodeling takes place over time. Skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months with a proper skin care regimen. Results will vary in each patient.


The results are long-lasting, especially with a series of treatments. Many see improvements for up to 6 months or longer.


Microneedling has minimal downtime. You may experience mild swelling for about a day and redness and sensitivity that lasts between 2-4 days. Some patients may experience mild peeling or flaking as the skin continues to fully heal which can be up to 5-7 days. 


Microneedling is an aesthetic medical procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, disposable sterile needles in order to induce endogenous production of cutaneous collagen. Topical numbing cream may be applied to the treated area for approximately 15-20 minutes to ease any discomfort and will be removed prior to treatment. During the procedure, you might feel warmth or a scratching sensation. A deeper treatment may cause some pin point bleeding. The procedure is generally well-tolerated and lasts about 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.


Before + After Care

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 24 hours.
  • Avoid using retinol or exfoliants in the treatment area for at least 24 hours.
  • Avoid blood thinners (including fish oil and vitamin E), NSAIDs, and alcohol for at least 3 days and  corticosteroids for at least 7 days to minimize bleeding, bruising, and irritation. Consult with your healthcare provider before discontinuing medication.
  • Avoid facial injections, lasers, and other facial treatments for 1-2 weeks before receiving microneedling. 
  • If you have a history of herpes/cold sores in the treatment area, pre-treat with an antiviral a few days before and after to reduce the risk of an outbreak.


  • Avoid sweating, excessive heat, swimming, hot showers, and sauna use for at least 72 hours or until skin is healed.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 72 hours or until skin is healed. Keep the area covered with a hat or loose clothing and apply a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) SPF 30+ to prevent hyperpigmentation.
  • Avoid artificial tanning (spray tans, tanning lotions, etc.) and exfoliants (retinol, benzoyl peroxide or acne medications, vitamin C if strong or acidic, hydroquinone, AHAs, BHAs, astringents, depilatories, waxing, shaving, etc.) in the treatment area until skin is healed.
  • Avoid putting on makeup for at least 24 hours.
