Microneedling (also known as collagen-induction therapy) uses ultra-fine microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These tiny channels trigger your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, firmness, and tone while reducing scars or stretch marks.

At our Philadelphia location, we tailor the procedure to your skin type and goals for safe, effective results.

Microneedling is effective for a wide range of concerns including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and other types of facial scarring
• Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
• Stretch marks and areas of mild skin laxity
• Uneven skin tone or mild sun-damage

It is a minimally invasive option ideal for clients in Philadelphia seeking visible improvement without extensive downtime.

Yes — if you are generally healthy, have realistic expectations, and are willing to follow pre- and post-care instructions.

We will evaluate at our Philadelphia facility your:

• Skin type and condition
• Medical history (e.g., recent isotretinoin use, keloid tendency)
• Any active skin infections or conditions that might interfere with healing

Some contraindications may include active acne lesions, open wounds, recent isotretinoin (within 6 months) or a history of poor wound healing.

• We apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort.
• The microneedling device is passed over the treatment area, forming microscopic channels and triggering collagen renewal.
• The procedure usually takes about 30–60 minutes depending on the area treated.
• Because it’s minimal-downtime, many Philadelphia clients have it done and return to work the same day.

For best outcomes, a series is recommended. Typical guideline:

• Many patients see visible improvement after 1–2 sessions.
• A course of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is often ideal for lasting results.
• Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months help preserve the improvement.

After microneedling:

• You may experience redness, mild swelling or sensitivity for 1–3 days.
• Skin may appear “sunburned” and feel tight.
• Makeup can usually be reapplied the next day (depending on depth).
• Avoid intense sun exposure, vigorous exercise, sauna or heavy sweating for ~24–48 hours.
• Use daily broad-spectrum sunscreen and gentle skincare as advised.

Yes — microneedling is considered safe for various skin types, including darker complexions when performed by trained professionals.

Before treatment we apply a numbing cream; most clients describe minimal discomfort (similar to light pricking or vibration). We ensure the device settings are appropriate to your skin tone and condition.
