Microneedling: The Tiny Treatment That Delivers Big Results

What Is Microneedling?

Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in your skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production—two key proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

Microneedling is typically done using a microneedling pen or dermaroller by a licensed professional.

One of the most effective enhancements to this treatment is the application of Hyaluronic Acid during or immediately after the procedure. HA is a moisture-binding molecule that deeply hydrates and supports the healing process, giving your skin a healthy, dewy finish.

Benefits of Microneedling (Especially with HA)

Microneedling can be tailored to a wide variety of skin concerns. Here’s what it can help with:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  Collagen stimulation helps plump and firm the skin, reducing the look of age-related lines.

• Fades acne scars and texture
  Breaks down old scar tissue and encourages smoother, more even skin.

• Shrinks enlarged pores
  Firmer skin from collagen can visibly reduce pore size.

• Enhances serum absorption
  Microchannels allow serums—especially HA—to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

• Deeply hydrates and soothes
  Hyaluronic Acid holds up to 1,000x its weight in water. When applied after microneedling, it delivers hydration exactly where your skin needs it most.

• Can improve pigmentation and stretch marks
  Microneedling can also be used on the body to address issues like sun damage and stretch marks.

What to Expect During a Microneedling Session

A typical session takes 30–60 minutes and goes something like this:

Step 1: Cleanse & Numb

Your skin is gently cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.

Step 2: Microneedling

A microneedling device is used to create tiny punctures in your skin’s surface.

Step 3: Hyaluronic Acid Application

Immediately after, a concentrated HA serum is applied to your skin. These microchannels allow it to absorb deeply, helping to speed up healing and maximize hydration.

Step 4: Post-Treatment Recovery

Expect some redness, tightness, or swelling (like a mild sunburn). This usually subsides within 24–72 hours.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Most clients notice improvements after just one session, but for optimal results, we recommend:

• 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart

• Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months

This allows your skin time to rebuild collagen naturally and maintain long-term results.

At-Home vs. Professional Microneedling

While at-home dermarollers exist, they penetrate much shallower and can carry higher risks (like irritation, infection, or scarring) if not used properly.

Professional treatments offer deeper, safer, and more effective results—especially when paired with medical-grade Hyaluronic Acid serums that are designed to hydrate and heal.

Final Thoughts: Is Microneedling with HA Worth It?

Absolutely. If you’re looking to restore radiance, target signs of aging, or reduce scarring—microneedling offers real, natural results. And when paired with Hyaluronic Acid, it becomes a powerful, skin-loving combo that leaves you hydrated, glowing, and fresh-faced.
