What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a great, non-surgical treatment to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, pore size, scars, tone, and texture, and overall skin rejuvenation. It can be performed on all skin types and colors without risk of hyperpigmentation.
During your microneedling treatment session, controlled micro-injuries will be made in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. These micro-injuries trigger the release of growth factors that lead to the remodeling of collagen and elastin.
Microneedling requires very little downtime and can be performed with a topical anesthetic in under an hour at the Aesthetic Lounge. It is minimally invasive and virtually painless. It is also a great way to maintain results after a facelift because it does not require additional surgery. Many patients combine a facelift and microneedling to stay youthful and rejuvenated. In addition, many patients opt for a microneedling procedure for other areas of the body, such as the neck, for a rejuvenated complexion anywhere on the body.
Am I A Good Candidate For Microneedling?
Almost anyone can benefit from microneedling to improve their complexion.
While healthy individuals are ideal candidates, those with any kind of open wounds or present infection that may spread or be exacerbated by skin puncture should not undergo this treatment. A consultation is the best way to determine if this procedure is right for you.

Your Results With Microneedling
Following your microneedling treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, for the first 24-48 hours. Be sure to wear sunscreen to protect the skin when spending time outdoors, and limit makeup application until skin is healed. AHAs, retinol, and acidic or active ingredients should also be avoided for two to three days after treatment for best healing.
You will be able to notice smoother and more radiant skin within one to two weeks. It may take a few months for full results to appear.
Microneedling treatments can be repeated every four to six weeks as needed to improve your complexion. The number of treatments needed will depend on your individual case. Microneedling can be performed on almost any area of the body, including the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, and more.
Microneedling Plus Growth Factors
Reduce redness and swelling and increase the appearance of your results by adding Core Recovery Complex to your microneedling treatment. These highly concentrated human growth factors and cytokines help reduce inflammation, helping you see results sooner and get back to life with even less downtime from this non-invasive procedure.
What Does Microneedling Feel Like?
You should not feel discomfort during your microneedling treatment session, as a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area beforehand.
