Microneedling
Microneedling, performed using Rejuvapen®, is a non-invasive procedure designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. This treatment involves using tiny needles to make controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and triggering collagen and elastin production. The procedure can address various skin concerns, including fine lines, acne scars, and large pores. Microneedling is versatile and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and other areas requiring rejuvenation. Moreover, the Rejuvapen® device allows for accurate control over the depth and intensity of the treatment, making it suitable for different skin types and conditions.

Microneedling + Exosomes (EXO|E™ Plant-Based) + LED
This advanced skincare treatment combines the collagen-boosting benefits of Microneedling with EXO|E™ plant-based exosomes and LED therapy. The Microneedling procedure inflicts micro-injuries in the skin, which are then treated with EXO|E™ exosomes to promote faster healing and enhance skin regeneration. The LED therapy further amplifies the effects by soothing the skin and reducing inflammation. Together, these elements improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and provide a more even skin tone.
Microneedling + PRP + LED
This combination treatment leverages the rejuvenating power of Microneedling, the healing properties of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), and the calming effects of LED therapy. After Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries, PRP is applied to the skin to accelerate healing and boost collagen production. LED therapy is used to soothe the skin, reduce redness, and enhance overall results. This comprehensive approach addresses multiple skin concerns, leaving the skin smoother, firmer, and more radiant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling involves creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which might sound painful, but the discomfort is generally minimal. Before the procedure, a numbing cream is used on the treatment area, significantly reducing any potential discomfort. Most clients describe the experience as a mild tingling or slight prickling feeling. Lastly, the Rejuvapen® device is designed to be as comfortable as possible, and any uncomfortable sensation subsides quickly after the treatment.
The number of Microneedling sessions required depends on your specific skin concerns and desired results. For general skin rejuvenation, many clients see significant improvement after three to six sessions. However, if you are addressing more specific issues, such as deep acne scars or hyperpigmentation, additional sessions may be necessary. Your provider will outline a specific treatment plan based on your needs.
Microneedling can be paired with other treatments to enhance overall skin results. For example, it is commonly paired with chemical peels, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), or topical serums that penetrate deeper into the skin following the Microneedling procedure. Combining treatments can enhance the benefits, providing a more holistic approach to addressing multiple skin concerns simultaneously. However, it’s essential to consult with your skincare provider to determine the best combination for your skin type and goals.
Microneedling has been proven safe for all skin tones and types, making it an inclusive treatment option. Unlike some laser treatments that may cause hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones, Microneedling does not pose this risk. The Rejuvapen® device used in the procedure allows for controlled precision, ensuring the treatment is safe and effective regardless of skin tone.
It is usually recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 to 48 hours following a Microneedling session. The skin needs time to heal, and wearing makeup too soon might irritate or cause infection. Once the initial redness and sensitivity have subsided, you can gradually reintroduce makeup into your routine.
Preparing for a Microneedling session involves a few specific steps to ensure the best results and minimize the risk of any side effects. For about a week before your appointment, avoid using retinoids, exfoliants, or any other harsh skincare products. Sun exposure and tanning should also be avoided, as this can make your skin more sensitive during the procedure. On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
