Trigger Your Skin's Natural Healing Power
Microneedling uses precision micro-needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body's natural wound-healing response. This stimulates new collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.
What Actually Happens
We believe in complete transparency. Here's exactly what to expect during your treatment journey.
Cleanse & Prep
Skin is thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
Microneedling
A medical-grade device creates precise micro-channels at the optimal depth for your skin concerns.
Serum Infusion
Hyaluronic acid and growth factors are applied, penetrating deep through the micro-channels.
Soothing Mask
A calming mask reduces redness and locks in hydration for faster recovery.
Sun Protection
SPF and post-care products are applied. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions.
Results Timeline
Understanding when to expect results helps set realistic expectations for your transformation.
Day 1-3
Mild redness and sensitivity similar to a light sunburn. Skin may feel tight.
Week 2-4
New collagen begins forming. Skin texture starts to smooth and tone evens out.
Month 2-3
Full results visible with improved firmness, reduced scars, and a luminous complexion.
Results vary based on skin type, lifestyle, and treatment consistency.
The Science Behind It
Microneedling works by activating the skin's innate healing cascade. The controlled micro-injuries trigger a three-phase wound repair process: inflammation (cleaning), proliferation (new collagen formation), and remodeling (strengthening). This natural process creates new, healthy tissue from within.
At Skin & Self, we use medical-grade devices with adjustable needle depths, allowing us to customize treatment intensity for different areas and concerns. This precision approach ensures maximum results with minimal downtime.
For enhanced results, consider adding PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to your microneedling session, or combine with our HydraFacial for the ultimate skin renewal protocol.

Common Questions
How is this different from Microneedling + PRP?
Standalone microneedling uses hyaluronic acid and growth factor serums, while Microneedling + PRP uses your own platelet-rich plasma for enhanced healing and faster results. PRP adds the regenerative power of your own growth factors.
How many sessions do I need?
Most clients see significant improvement after 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. For maintenance, treatments every 3-4 months keep results looking fresh.
Does microneedling hurt?
With topical numbing cream applied beforehand, most clients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or light scratching. It's very tolerable.
When can I wear makeup after treatment?
We recommend waiting 24-48 hours before applying makeup to allow the micro-channels to close properly and avoid introducing bacteria.
