If you’ve been searching for a treatment that can smooth fine lines, fade acne scars, and give your skin that fresh, dewy glow — microneedling might just be your skin’s new best friend. At Peak Aesthetics and Wellness, we offer advanced microneedling sessions that deliver real, visible results with minimal downtime.
Whether you’re already booked or just browsing, here’s exactly what to expect before, during, and after your microneedling treatment
🌿 What Is Microneedling, Anyway?
Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) uses a device with tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Don’t worry — it’s way less intense than it sounds. These micro-injuries stimulate your skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production — two key proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.
It’s ideal for improving:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Acne scars and surgical scars
-
Enlarged pores
-
Uneven skin tone or texture
-
Stretch marks
-
Overall skin rejuvenatio
👩⚕️ What Happens During a Microneedling Session?
1. Consultation & Skin Prep
Your journey starts with a one-on-one consultation with our physician. We’ll assess your skin, talk about your goals, and create a personalized plan (including how many sessions you may need). This happens in a very thorough 50-minute visit that includes a full treatment plan and skin analysis.Once you have your treatment plan, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream will be applied to minimize any discomfort. This sits for about 30 minutes to ensure you feel little to no pain during the procedure.
2. The Microneedling Process
After numbing, your provider will gently glide the microneedling device over your skin. You may feel light pressure or a slight prickling sensation, but it’s usually very tolerable — most clients say it feels more like a mild vibration.Depending on your treatment goals, we may also use serums like hyaluronic acid, peptides, or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) during the procedure to enhance results. These ingredients absorb deeply through the micro-channels created by the needles.
3. Post-Treatment Care
Right after microneedling, your skin may look red or flushed, similar to a light sunburn. You might feel a bit tight or sensitive, and in some cases, mild swelling or pinpoint bleeding may occur (this is normal!).We’ll apply a calming serum or mask to soothe your skin and give you aftercare instructions, which typically include:
-
Avoiding makeup for 24–48 hours
-
Using gentle, hydrating skincare
-
Staying out of direct sun and wearing SPF
-
Avoiding intense workouts or heat for 24 hour
⏱ How Long Does It Take?
The full session usually lasts 60–75 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The microneedling part itself is only about 15–30 minutes — the rest is numbing, prep, and post-treatment care.
🗓 How Many Sessions Will I Need?
You’ll see improvements even after just one session, especially in glow and texture. But for long-term results like scar reduction or deeper wrinkle softening, we typically recommend a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
💡 Bonus: Combine It with LED or PRP for Even Better Results
We often pair microneedling with LED light therapy (to reduce inflammation and boost healing) or PRP (aka the “vampire facial”) for maximum rejuvenation. We will recommend the best add-ons based on your skin type and goals.
