Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a microneedling session take?
About an hour. First we cleanse your face and then you will be treated with a topical numbing cream that takes about 30 minutes to start working. The microneedling process takes about 30 minutes for the face. Additional areas would take more time.
Can you microneedle other areas of the body?
Yes, microneedling can be done on most areas of the body that need a collagen boost. It can minimize scarring, stretch marks on places such as legs, chest or butt. Microneedling can also be done on the scalp to promote hair growth.
Does microneedling hurt?
We prioritize your comfort and satisfaction. Using a topical numbing cream, we ensure a pain-free experience for even the most sensitive or anxious individuals.
Our secret lies in the FDA-approved SkinPen microneedling device, known for its outstanding results. This device has been thoroughly tested for safety and efficacy, guaranteeing your peace of mind. Our clients consistently rave about the virtually pain-free nature of their microneedling sessions, a testament to our team's expertise, the effectiveness of the numbing cream, and the remarkable outcomes achieved with the SkinPen.
How often and how many sessions of microneedling do I need to do?
At your consultation we would evaluate your needs and desired outcome. Typically 3-6 sessions are ideal for best results. We space the sessions 4 weeks apart for ample healing time and skin turnover.
Can I get Dermaplaning, SkinWave Aqua Facial and a SkinPen microneedling treatment at the same time?
Yes. Getting Dermaplaning and a SkinWave facial before a microneedling treatment preps your skin to maximize the results of your microneedling treatment, deeply cleaning your pores and prepping the skin for a successful recovery time.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic skin treatment that involves using a surgical scalpel to exfoliate the top layer of skin. It removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) for smoother skin texture, enhances the effectiveness of skincare products by allowing better product penetration and flawless makeup application. It improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and addresses uneven skin tone and texture.
Does Dermaplaning hurt or cause redness?
No. Dermaplaning is gentle and does not cause any pain. People with fair or very sensitive skin may notice some slight temporary redness due to the friction of the blade which should subside within 24 hours.
