Your skin’s own
healing power.
- Who it's for
Acne scarring
One of the most effective treatments for post-acne scarring — including rolling, boxcar, and ice pick scars. Works by rebuilding collagen in damaged areas.
Texture & enlarged pores
Addresses uneven skin texture, rough patches, and enlarged pores that don't respond to topical treatments or facials alone.
Fine lines & skin laxity
Stimulates collagen to gradually firm and smooth the skin — particularly effective for fine lines around the eyes and mouth.
Hyperpigmentation
Safe for all skin tones, including deeper complexions. Helps fade dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation over time.
Not appropriate if
You have active acne breakouts, rosacea flares, eczema, psoriasis, or a history of keloid scarring in the treatment area. Pregnant or breastfeeding clients should wait. Let me know at booking and I'll find a safe alternative.

- Includes take-home Growth Factor homecare kit to support and improve results between sessions
- The Process
How microneedling works
Sessions run 60–75 minutes including numbing time. Plan for 2–3 days of redness and possible mild flaking as your skin heals — this is normal and part of the process. Most clients see progressive improvement over 4–6 weeks as collagen rebuilds.
Cleanse & numb
We begin with a thorough cleanse, followed by a topical numbing cream applied for 20–30 minutes. You'll be comfortable throughout — most clients describe the sensation as a light vibration.
Microneedling treatment
The SkinPen device creates thousands of precise micro-channels across the treatment area. Depth is customized based on your concern and skin thickness — thicker areas go deeper, sensitive zones are treated gently.
Serum infusion
Immediately after needling, targeted serums are applied. The micro-channels allow deep serum penetration — far more effective than applying serums to intact skin. Growth Factor clients receive their homecare kit at this stage.
Calm & protect
A soothing, healing mask is applied to reduce initial redness. We finish by walking you through what to expect and how to care for your skin over the next 48–72 hours.

Pre & post care
Before your microneedling
- Pause retinol and all exfoliating acids at least 5–7 days before your session.
- Avoid sun exposure and spray tans for at least 1 week prior — sunburned or tanned skin cannot be treated.
- Do not use blood thinners or NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) in the 48 hours before your appointment unless medically necessary.
- Come in with a clean face — no makeup, SPF, or skincare products on the treatment area.
- Let us know if you've had Botox or filler within the last 2 weeks, or are on Accutane or blood thinners.
After your microneedling
- Expect redness and mild swelling for 24–48 hours — this is normal and part of the healing process. Some clients experience light flaking around day 3–4.
- Do not touch your face with unwashed hands, and avoid all makeup and SPF for at least 48 hours following your treatment.
- Use only gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and moisturizer for the first 72 hours — no actives, no acids, no retinol.
- Wear SPF 30+ every single day — your skin is more vulnerable to sun damage during the healing window.
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms, swimming, and intense exercise for 72 hours after your treatment.

Microneedling FAQ
Have a specific concern you want to talk through before booking? I’m happy to have that conversation first.
We apply a topical numbing cream for 20–30 minutes before the treatment, so most clients are comfortable throughout. The sensation is typically described as a light vibration or pressure. Some areas — like around the nose or forehead — may feel more sensitive than others, but the numbing keeps it very manageable. You’ll be able to speak with us throughout if anything needs adjusting.
It depends on your concern and your skin’s response. For mild texture or preventative collagen support, 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart often delivers significant results. For more significant acne scarring or deeper skin concerns, we typically recommend a series of 4–6 sessions. I’ll set realistic expectations at your consultation and track progress together.
Yes — SkinPen Precision is clinically validated as safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper complexions. Unlike certain laser treatments that carry a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin, microneedling doesn’t use heat and is widely considered one of the safest corrective options for melanin-rich skin. I’ve treated clients across all skin tones and always adjust my approach accordingly.
The standard SkinPen session uses a targeted serum infused during treatment — this is already highly effective. The Growth Factor upgrade adds a more advanced serum during the session for enhanced collagen stimulation and healing, plus a professional-grade take-home kit to support your results between appointments. If you’re treating significant scarring or want to accelerate your results, the upgrade is worth it.
Some clients notice improved texture and a glow within 1–2 weeks of their first session as the initial healing completes. But the real results — collagen remodeling, scar improvement, pore refinement — develop progressively over 4–8 weeks after each session. This is a treatment that rewards patience. After a full series, most clients see their best results 2–3 months after their final session.
Yes — microneedling pairs very well with a HydraFacial (either before to prep the skin, or as part of our Microneedling + HydraFacial Duo). Chemical peels and microneedling are also complementary but should be spaced appropriately — I’ll help you plan the right sequence. I do not recommend combining microneedling with laser treatments or injectables in the same session.
