1. What is Microneedling?

Microneedling involves using fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. It improves texture, scarring, fine lines, and overall skin tone.

2. Is Microneedling painful?

Numbing cream will be applied before the procedure to ensure comfort. Most clients feel minimal discomfort, often described as a light scratching or tingling sensation.

3. What skin concerns does Microneedling treat?

Microneedling helps with:

• Acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Fine lines & wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation
• Stretch marks
• Uneven skin tone & texture

4. What’s the downtime?

You may experience redness, tightness, and mild sensitivity for 1–3 days. Peeling or dryness may occur around day 3–5. Full recovery is usually within 7 days.

5. How many sessions do I need?

Results can be seen after one session, but for concerns like acne scars or deep wrinkles, 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are recommended.

6. Can I combine Microneedling with other treatments?

Yes! Microneedling pairs well with Aerolase. I’ll tailor a plan based on your skin’s needs.

Safe. Proven. Transformational.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a results-driven, minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to activate the skin’s natural healing processes. By creating controlled micro-injuries using fine, medical-grade needles, microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin two essential proteins that keep the skin youthful, firm, and resilient.

At R Skin Bar, we use FDA-cleared, professional-grade microneedling device to ensure maximum safety, efficacy, and precision for all skin types.

Stimulates Natural Collagen and Elastin Production

Microneedling initiates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen and elastin production in the dermis. The result is firmer, plumper, and more youthful skin, with continued improvement over several weeks.

Visibly Reduces Acne Scars and Surgical Scars

This treatment is clinically proven to improve the depth, appearance, and texture of acne scars and other forms of scarring. It works by breaking up fibrotic tissue and remodeling collagen for smoother, more even skin.

Smooths Fine Lines and Wrinkles

By promoting structural support from within, microneedling softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, forehead, and mouth, without the need for injectables or surgery.

Improves Skin Tone and Texture

Microneedling helps refine uneven skin texture, reduce surface irregularities, and restore smoothness to rough or bumpy skin. It also enhances skin clarity and radiance.

Fades Hyperpigmentation and Melasma

This treatment can help reduce pigment irregularities by dispersing excess melanin and increasing cellular turnover. It is often used to address post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and melasma especially when combined with appropriate topical actives.

Minimizes Enlarged Pores

Microneedling stimulates collagen around the pore lining, which causes pores to tighten and become less noticeable over time, resulting in a more refined complexion.

Enhances Product Penetration

The microchannels created during the treatment increase the skin’s absorption rate, allowing active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, peptides, and brightening agents to penetrate more deeply and effectively.

Improves Stretch Marks and Body Scars

Microneedling is not limited to facial treatments. It is also used to improve the appearance of stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and arms, and reduce the visibility of body scars.

Safe for All Skin Tones and Types

Unlike some laser treatments that carry a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones, microneedling is a safe and effective option for Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI, with minimal risk of adverse effects.

Supports Skin Firmness and Elasticity

Over time, repeated treatments support dermal thickening and tightening, which is ideal for addressing mild skin laxity, especially along the jawline, cheeks, and under the eyes.

Minimal Downtime with Progressive Results

Clients may experience mild redness and sensitivity similar to a light sunburn for 24 to 72 hours. The skin begins to renew itself within days, with visible improvements continuing for weeks as collagen rebuilds.

Can Be Combined with Advanced Therapies

Microneedling is highly versatile and can be paired with complementary treatments such as Aerolase. 

Improves Skin Barrier Function

Microneedling strengthens the skin’s natural protective barrier by stimulating healthy skin regeneration and boosting the skin’s ability to retain moisture and defend against environmental irritants, allergens, and bacteria.

Reduces Sebum Production in Oily Skin

Microneedling can help regulate overactive sebaceous glands, making it especially beneficial for individuals with oily or acne-prone skin. Over time, this leads to a more balanced skin profile with reduced breakouts and shine.

Stimulates Growth Factors and Cytokines

Microneedling triggers the release of growth factors and signaling proteins that support skin regeneration, accelerate wound healing, and promote long-term dermal remodeling. These internal biological responses lead to stronger, healthier skin overall.

Reduces the Appearance of Capillaries

Although not a vascular treatment, microneedling has been noted to reduce the visibility of superficial blood vessels and diffuse redness as skin tone becomes more even and inflammation decreases.

Suitable for Delicate Areas

Microneedling is gentle enough to treat delicate areas such as under the eyes, around the lips, and even on the eyelids with specialized needles. This allows for comprehensive rejuvenation in areas that are often avoided by more aggressive treatments.

Long-Lasting Results

With consistent treatment and proper skincare maintenance, the results of microneedling can be long-lasting. Unlike some treatments that produce short-term improvements, microneedling works gradually by remodeling skin structure at a deeper level.

Helps Prevent Signs of Aging

By encouraging regular collagen turnover, microneedling acts as a preventative treatment to delay the formation of fine lines, sagging, and loss of elasticity. It is ideal for clients in their late 20s to early 40s who want to maintain youthful skin.

Supports Skin Cell Turnover and Renewal

Microneedling accelerates the skin’s natural exfoliation process without relying on chemical agents or peels. This encourages faster skin renewal, which is crucial for maintaining clarity, softness, and radiance in aging or sluggish skin.

Can Be Tailored for Different Depths

Unlike one-size-fits-all treatments, microneedling can be adjusted by depth and speed depending on the treatment area and skin concern:

Superficial depths for texture, tone, and absorption

Deeper depths for acne scarring, stretch marks, and collagen remodeling
This versatility allows for a more personalized, effective treatment experience.

Improves Laxity in Early Aging

By stimulating the dermal matrix, microneedling can gently firm skin along the jawline, cheeks, and neck areas where early signs of sagging begin. This makes it an excellent early intervention treatment for clients in their 30s and 40s.

Creates a Cumulative Effect Over Time

Unlike peels or facials that deliver short-term glow, microneedling builds a compounding effect each session further enhances the structural integrity of the skin, especially when spaced 4–6 weeks apart in a series.

Supports Post-Acne Skin Maturation

For clients who are no longer actively breaking out but have lingering scars and textural irregularities, microneedling helps “mature” the skin, reducing signs of past acne trauma and promoting more uniform skin architecture.

Less Risk of Post-Treatment Pigmentation Compared to Lasers

Microneedling does not use heat, making it a safer choice for clients with a history of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or darker skin tones. It allows you to deliver results without increasing the risk of pigment flare-ups.

Safe for Use During Most Seasons

Because it doesn’t involve heat or deep exfoliation, microneedling is generally safe to perform year-round, including in summer months when many other treatments must be paused due to sun exposure risk.
