How Does Microneedling Work?
Safe and minimally invasive, microneedling allows for controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair process by creating precise, micro-injuries (tiny punctures) in the skin.
We utilize the FDA-cleared SkinPen device by MD Pen. The SkinPen is gently pressed against your skin and uses straight needles to penetrate at a 90 degree angle.
This stimulates your skin’s natural ability to heal by producing new collagen and elastin fibers, encouraging your skin to look and feel healthier. There is no tissue destruction with micro needling. The small channels in the epidermis close very quickly and the skin begins a healing response of producing new collagen and elastin right away.

What Does Microneedling Feel Like? Does It Hurt?
A numbing cream will be applied prior to your treatment to minimize any discomfort. The high-speed motor of the MD Pen device causes needle penetration to occur very quickly.
The sensation you will experience is often described by our clients as feeling like sandpaper or a cat’s tongue. Scar treatment with microneedling requires deeper penetration into the nerve space, which can cause discomfort.
After the numbing cream wears off, you’ll feel like you have a sunburn. This usually only lasts for 24 hours.
