What is Microneedling?

Professional microneedling treatments are designed to deliver consistent, controlled results through advanced device technology, precise depth settings, and clinically developed protocols. When performed by trained providers, treatments can be tailored to specific skin concerns and enhanced with professional-grade skincare. This level of precision and integration supports more predictable outcomes and a higher standard of care compared to non-professional approaches which may cause further damage to the skin.

Microneedling supports progressive improvements in overall skin quality by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over time, this process helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and tone, minimize the visibility of acne scars and pigmentation, and enhance firmness. Results are cumulative, with continued treatments leading to more noticeable and long-term improvements.

Microneedling works by creating precise, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers a natural healing response that promotes collagen synthesis and skin regeneration, while also enhancing the absorption of professional-grade active ingredients used during treatment.

Those who have experienced micro needling before with other devices, likely did so with numbing cream. We recommend completing the procedure without numbing cream as this may limit some of the benefits. The technology behind the Dermapen means most clients can tolerate the procedure without anesthetic. However, we will happily provide it for anyone who does not find the procedure tolerable without.

When performed by a trained professional using clinically validated devices and protocols, microneedling is considered safe for a wide range of skin types. Safety is dependent on proper technique, sterile conditions, and appropriate post-care. At Still Point your safety is our highest priority, our trained providers will ensure your treatment is performed using proper technique, sterility, and that you are educated on proper post-care.

Some improvements may be visible within a few days, particularly in skin texture and radiance. However, more significant results—such as collagen remodeling—develop progressively over several weeks and multiple treatments.

Depending on the condition and treatment goal, we recommend 3-4 sessions over a 4 month period. For certain skin concerns more sessions may be recommended. Many clients determine to continue with a maintenance session every 3-4 months to better maintain the results and benefits.

A bit of redness, similar to a light sunburn, is normal for about 24-48 hours. Certain activities (such as sun exposure or heavy exercise) and certain skincare should be avoided during this time. Home Kits are available to maximize results and minimize any poor ingredient interactions.

Yes! Many of the treatments we offer at Still Point can be added to complement your microneedling treatment the same day, enhancements may also be added during your treatment to improve results. Other treatments can be added as part of a more comprehensive plan and performed 2-4 weeks later to maximize your results. The best options for your specific needs will be discussed in detail at your consultation.
