Frequently Asked Questions

What is Micro-Needling?

Micro-needling is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and the improvement of the skin’s texture, tone, and color. During this procedure, the Eclipse Micropen is used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to aid in the production of collagen and elastin.

Does Micro-Needling hurt?

There is some discomfort associated with Micro-Needling, but your provider will use a topical anesthetic to help minimize the discomfort.

How much does Micro-Needling cost?

Cost varies based on area being treated. Please consult with your provider during consultation for list of pricing.

Does Micro-Needling tighten skin?

Yes. The procedure stimulates collagen and elastin by creating micro-injuries in the skin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker epidermis with a softer appearance of wrinkles and tighter skin.

What is Micro-Needling good for?

Micro-needling treatments are performed to improve the appearance of fine lines, skin’s texture, tone, and color, stretch marks, and acne scars. Hyperpigmentation can also be treated with micro-needling.

Can I wear makeup after Micro-Needling?

No. We ask that you do not apply makeup for at least 12 hours post-procedure to allow the absorption of hyaluronic acid serum and growth factors into the micro-channels in the skin created with micro-needling.

What is the downtime for Micro-Needling?

Immediately after the treatment, you will notice a bright redness to the skin.The total healing time depends on the Eclipse MicroPen® setting used and the number of overlapping passes your medical practitioner performs. On average, patients are red up to 2 to 4 days. Many patients heal completely in as little as 24 hours.

Does your face peel after Micro-Needling?

How long do Micro-Needling results last?
