Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrafine needles to create microinjuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response and encourages the creation of new collagen and elastin.

Microneedling can be used to help improve enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, loose or crepey skin, acne scarring, skin discoloration, uneven skin tone and texture, and stretch marks. It can also be used to treat alopecia areata (hair loss due to an autoimmune disorder) and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

We always apply a topical numbing cream for thirty minutes prior to your treatment. While everyone’s pain tolerance is different, most say that the treatment is a bit uncomfortable, but definitely bearable. Most say it feels like a warm or scratching sensation, and is more uncomfortable when the needles are on bony areas, like the cheekbones.

You may be red and swollen for up to five days after the procedure, but you can return to your regular activities immediately. You may use ice packs or cold compresses for the swelling and pain as needed, and you will need to stay out of the sun until you have healed completely.

Most people need multiple treatments spaced three to eight weeks apart. We sell packages of three treatments, which is usually the recommended course.

Your skin will probably feel worse before it feels better; most people feel a burning sensation or some tightness, and may also have some skin flaking. Full results can be seen after three to six months.

A single treatment with hyaluronic acid is $350 for non-members and $280 for members, and a single treatment with PRP is $750 for non-members and $600 for members.
