The disposable microneedling cartridge contains tiny needles that penetrate the skin, creating hundreds of microscopic openings. This controlled injury triggers the skin’s natural healing process, which includes the production of collagen and elastin. Different needle depths make this treatment entirely customizable depending on the treatment area (face or body).

This varies patient to patient depending on what we are treating and aesthetic goals, but most patients require a minimum of 3 treatments. More may be required if treating deeper lines/wrinkles or acne scarring. Treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart and results are usually maintained with 1-2 treatments per year.

Noticeable changes can be seen after 1 week and gradually improves up to 3 months after treatment as the skin continues its natural healing process.

With any in-office skin treatment we recommend an at-home medical grade skincare regimen designed for you by Skin Design. In-office treatments are only a small fraction of what you can do to improve your skin’s health and appearance. A medical grade, at-home skincare regimen will not only give you better results, but help you maintain those results.

The most common side effects are bleeding, redness, bruising, warmth and mild swelling that usually improve after 48 hours.

Noticeable redness and some swelling are common after treatment and usually resolve 1-2 days after treatment. You should avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sweating and makeup application for at least 48 hours. If you are concerned about social downtime, we recommend you receive treatment at least 2 weeks before any major event (ie: wedding, family photos, etc.).

We apply topical anesthetic prior to treatment, making the treatment extremely comfortable.
