Microneedling stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production, helping improve texture, tone, and the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and enlarged pores. Most clients notice a healthy glow within a few days, with deeper improvements developing gradually over several weeks. For best results, a series of treatments may be recommended.

Before treatment, we apply a medical-grade numbing cream to keep you comfortable — most clients describe the sensation as mild and tolerable. You may experience some redness, warmth, or light flaking for 24–72 hours post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. We’ll walk you through exactly what to expect and how to support your skin as it heals.

For best results, we recommend avoiding sun exposure, retinol, and exfoliating products for 3–5 days prior to treatment. Come to your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin. We’ll also review any medications or skincare you’re using to ensure your skin is in the best possible condition for treatment.

Post-care is essential. After microneedling, avoid sun exposure, heavy workouts, makeup, and active ingredients (like acids or retinol) for 48–72 hours. We’ll provide you with a simple, soothing skincare routine to help your skin heal and maximize results. Think gentle hydration, SPF, and rest — your skin will thank you.

Everyone’s skin is different. Some clients see meaningful changes after just one treatment, while others benefit from a series of 3–6 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan based on your goals, skin condition, and timeline.

Microneedling is a versatile, evidence-based treatment that can safely address a wide range of skin types and concerns — including texture, scarring, fine lines, and even mild pigmentation. At NUE, we take a customized approach, assessing your skin in detail to ensure this treatment is right for you. If not, we’ll guide you toward other safe, effective options.
