Services Microneedling
Fine, controlled needles prompt your skin to repair and rebuild itself — a natural way to improve tone and texture, planned around your skin at a consultation first.

Microneedling uses a device fitted with fine, sterile needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. Your body responds to those micro-injuries the way it responds to any small injury — by producing fresh collagen and elastin to repair the area, which is what leaves skin looking smoother and more even over time.
Because the treatment works by triggering your own skin’s repair process rather than resurfacing it chemically, it’s a gentler option for many patients, with results that build gradually rather than all at once. Needle depth and treatment approach are adjusted to your skin and the concern you’re working on.
Most microneedling relies on the device alone. Here, every treatment is also paired with a customizable accelerated serum from ZO Skin Health, delivered into the skin during the treatment itself and matched to your specific skin concerns — a professional-grade step that goes beyond traditional microneedling and supports noticeably better results.
For patients who want a more intensive option, we also offer Matrix Pro RF Microneedling, which pairs the same needling technique with radiofrequency energy for a more advanced result — we can talk through whether that’s a better fit at your consultation.

Mild redness for 24–48 hours, like a light sunburn
Results build with a series, spaced weeks apart
Microneedling is often built into a plan for one of a few common concerns — here’s where it tends to help most.
Controlled micro-injury can soften the look of pitted or uneven acne scarring as new collagen rebuilds the area.

Fresh collagen production can soften the look of fine lines and smooth rough, uneven texture over a series of sessions.

Microneedling is one of the more common approaches used to improve the look of stretch marks by encouraging skin to rebuild itself.

A topical numbing cream is applied first for comfort, then the device passes over the treatment area in controlled passes. Most sessions take well under an hour.
Session length: ~30–45 minExpect mild redness and sensitivity for about 24–48 hours, similar to a light sunburn. Most patients are comfortable returning to normal activities the next day.
Recovery: 24–48 hoursBecause results come from your skin’s own repair process, a series of sessions spaced weeks apart is standard for visible, lasting improvement rather than a single treatment.
Recovery: Ongoing, spaced sessions
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, so most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or tingling rather than pain.
It depends on your goals, but a series of sessions spaced weeks apart is standard for visible, lasting improvement, since results build gradually as your skin produces new collagen.
Most patients see mild redness for about 24–48 hours after treatment, similar to a light sunburn, and are comfortable returning to normal activities the next day.
Keep skincare gentle for a few days — a mild cleanser and moisturizer, diligent SPF, and a pause on active ingredients like retinoids until your skin has settled.
Most skin types and tones are good candidates, but certain active breakouts, skin conditions, or medications can mean waiting or choosing a different approach — we’ll review your history at a consultation.
Traditional microneedling relies on the needling alone to trigger collagen production. Matrix Pro RF Microneedling pairs the same needling technique with radiofrequency energy for a more advanced treatment — we can help you decide which is the better fit at your consultation.
