Before Your Microneedling Appointment

Prior to treatment, your provider will review your medical history, skincare routine, and aesthetic goals. Your skin will be evaluated to determine appropriate needle depth, treatment areas, and post-care planning.

Patients are typically advised to:

  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure prior to treatment

  • Discontinue certain active skincare products as directed

Proper preparation ensures safe treatment and optimal collagen stimulation.

During the Microneedling Treatment

Treatment Time

  • Approximately 30–45 minutes

Comfort & Sensation

  • A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort

  • Most patients feel light pressure or vibration

  • Treatment is generally well-tolerated

Your provider uses a medical-grade microneedling device to create precise micro-channels in the skin, customized to your specific concerns.

Immediately After Treatment

Following microneedling, your skin may appear:

  • Pink or mildly red (similar to a sunburn)

  • Warm or slightly tight

These effects are temporary and typically resolve within 24–48 hours.

Soothing medical-grade products are applied before you leave, and detailed post-care instructions are provided.

Downtime & Recovery

Microneedling is considered a low-downtime treatment.

Most patients experience:

  • Redness for 24–48 hours

  • Minimal swelling

  • No peeling or significant disruption to daily life

Many patients return to work or normal activities the next day.

Post-Treatment Care

After microneedling, proper care is essential to support healing and maximize results.

Patients are advised to:

  • Use gentle, hydrating skincare only

  • Avoid makeup for 24 hours

  • Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily

  • Avoid heat, strenuous exercise, and sun exposure temporarily

Your provider may also recommend professional skincare products to enhance healing and results.

When You’ll See Results

Microneedling results develop gradually.

Patients often notice:

  • Improved glow and skin texture within days

  • Continued improvement over several weeks

  • Ongoing collagen remodeling for months

Because results build over time, a series of treatments is often recommended.

Why Consistency Matters

Collagen production is cumulative. One treatment initiates the process, but repeated sessions create lasting change.

For patients enrolled in the Skin + Tox Club™ Venti Membership, microneedling can be performed strategically as part of a monthly skin treatment plan—allowing consistent collagen stimulation without over-treatment.
