Microneedling

Unlock Your Skin's Natural Healing Power

You’ve been struggling with skin texture issues that seem impossible to fix – maybe it’s acne scars that remind you of difficult years, enlarged pores that make you feel self-conscious, or dull skin that no amount of skincare products can seem to brighten. These concerns can make you avoid close-up photos and feel less confident in your own skin. At nuGLO Medical Aesthetics, we understand that you want smooth, radiant skin that makes you feel proud to go makeup-free.

Microneedling harnesses your skin’s incredible natural ability to heal and renew itself, creating dramatic improvements in texture, tone, and overall skin health. We don’t just treat the surface – we stimulate your skin to rebuild from within, giving you the smooth, glowing complexion you’ve been searching for.

The Science Behind Skin Renewal

Here’s what makes microneedling so effective: your skin has an amazing ability to heal and regenerate when given the right stimulus. Microneedling creates thousands of tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin using ultra-fine, sterile needles. This process triggers your body’s natural wound healing response, flooding the area with growth factors, collagen, and elastin.

The result is complete skin renewal from the inside out. Old, damaged skin cells are replaced with fresh, healthy tissue. Scars become less visible, pores appear smaller, and your overall skin texture becomes smoother and more refined. It’s like giving your skin a complete reset, using your body’s own healing mechanisms to create the improvements you want to see.

Transform These Common Concerns

  • Acne scars that affect your confidence
  • Large, visible pores
  • Uneven skin texture and roughness
  • Fine lines and early signs of aging
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Stretch marks on body areas
  • Dull, lackluster complexion
  • Uneven skin tone and discoloration
  • Melasma and hyperpigmentation
  • Loss of skin firmness and elasticity

How Microneedling Creates Change

Think of microneedling as a way to trick your skin into thinking it’s young again. The controlled micro-injuries send signals to your skin cells to ramp up collagen and elastin production – the same proteins that gave you smooth, firm skin when you were younger. As new collagen forms over the following weeks and months, it literally rebuilds your skin’s structure, smoothing out imperfections and creating a more youthful appearance.

The Benefits That Transform Your Complexion

Real Results You Can See and Feel
Unlike topical treatments that only address surface issues, microneedling works at the deeper dermal level where real change happens. You’ll notice improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness that continue to develop over several months as new collagen forms. It’s transformation you can actually see and feel.

Natural Enhancement Without Chemicals
Microneedling doesn’t rely on harsh chemicals or synthetic substances. Instead, it works with your body’s natural healing processes to create improvements from within. This makes it suitable for most skin types and tones, including sensitive skin that might react to other treatments.

Versatile Treatment for Face and Body
While many treatments are limited to facial areas, microneedling can safely and effectively treat concerns on your face, neck, chest, hands, and other body areas. Whether you want to address facial acne scars or body stretch marks, microneedling can help improve texture and appearance wherever you need it.

Progressive Improvement Over Time
Unlike treatments that provide temporary results, microneedling creates lasting improvements that continue to develop over time. Each session builds upon the previous one, with optimal results typically seen after a series of treatments. Your skin continues to improve for months after your final session as collagen remodeling continues.

Safe for All Skin Types and Tones
Because microneedling works mechanically rather than with chemicals or light energy, it’s safe and effective for all skin types and tones, including darker skin that might be at risk for complications with other treatments. There’s no risk of hyperpigmentation or other concerns that can affect certain skin types.

Three Steps to Your Best Skin

Step 1: Mapping Your Skin Journey
We begin with a thorough analysis of your skin concerns and goals. During your consultation, we’ll examine your skin texture, discuss your problem areas, and create a customized treatment plan. We’ll also review your skincare routine and make recommendations to optimize your results. Come prepared to discuss what bothers you most about your skin’s appearance.

Step 2: Your Transformative Treatment
After applying a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort, we use a professional-grade microneedling device to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in your skin. The treatment takes 30-60 minutes depending on areas being addressed. Most clients find it surprisingly comfortable and describe the sensation as mild vibration with occasional slight pressure.

Step 3: Your Healing and Results
Immediately after treatment, your skin will be red and slightly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. We’ll apply soothing serums and provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your healing and results. Most clients see initial improvements within days, with continued enhancement over the following weeks and months.

Your Transformation Timeline

Here’s what to expect after microneedling: Your skin will be red and slightly swollen for 12-24 hours, which is completely normal and actually indicates the treatment is working. Within 2-3 days, you’ll notice your skin starting to look brighter and feel smoother. Over the following weeks, you’ll see progressive improvements in texture, tone, and overall skin quality as new collagen forms. Optimal results typically appear 4-6 weeks after treatment and continue to improve with each session in your treatment series.

Are You a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

If you’re frustrated with skin texture issues, scars, large pores, or signs of aging that topical products can’t address, you’re likely an excellent candidate for microneedling. The treatment works best for adults who want to improve their skin’s overall health, texture, and appearance using natural healing processes.

Most people are good candidates, though microneedling isn’t recommended if you have active acne breakouts, certain skin conditions, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Those taking certain medications or with bleeding disorders may need special precautions. The best way to determine if microneedling is right for you is through a personalized consultation where we can assess your skin and discuss realistic expectations.

Questions? We have answers!

Does microneedling hurt?
Most clients are surprised by how comfortable microneedling is. We apply a topical numbing cream before treatment, which minimizes any discomfort. During the procedure, most people describe the sensation as mild vibration with occasional slight pressure. Any discomfort is brief and well-tolerated. The treatment is much more comfortable than most people expect.
The number of treatments depends on your specific concerns and goals. Most clients see good results after 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. For severe acne scarring or significant texture issues, more sessions may be recommended. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin’s needs and your desired outcomes.
Microneedling requires minimal downtime compared to more aggressive treatments. Your skin will be red and slightly swollen for 12-24 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most clients return to work and normal activities the next day, though we recommend avoiding makeup for 24 hours and staying out of direct sunlight during the initial healing period.
Absolutely! Microneedling works beautifully alongside other treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, and professional facials. We often incorporate serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) during microneedling to enhance results. We can create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses all your skin concerns for optimal improvement.
Because microneedling stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, results are long-lasting but not permanent. Most clients enjoy improved skin texture and appearance for 6-12 months or longer after completing their treatment series. Many choose to have maintenance treatments once or twice yearly to continue supporting healthy collagen production and maintain their results.
