Microneedling
Target Fine Lines, Scars & Wrinkles
Microneedling is a versatile, minimally invasive treatment that taps into the body’s natural healing process to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This treatment helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections, leaving you with smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
About Microneedling
Microneedling is a treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This helps improve skin texture, firmness, and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling involves using a device with fine, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These controlled micro-wounds stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing response, which increases the production of collagen and elastin—two critical proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. As the body repairs the treated areas, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even, with improved texture, reduced fine lines, and a reduction in scars or discoloration. Over time, multiple treatments can enhance the skin’s overall appearance by encouraging ongoing collagen remodeling.
How Microneedling Works
Before Treatment:
At Beauty Energy Exchange, your treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin. To ensure maximum comfort, we apply a numbing cream, allowing you to relax during the procedure.
During Treatment:
During microneedling, you may experience a mild scratching or tingling sensation as the device moves across your skin. Thanks to the numbing cream, discomfort is minimal and most clients find the treatment tolerable.
After Treatment:
Immediately following the treatment, your skin may appear red, much like a mild sunburn, with slight swelling or bruising. These effects typically subside within 2–3 days. We recommend avoiding sun exposure, makeup, or harsh products until your skin has fully healed.
Post-Treatment Care:
To ensure optimal results, we provide personalized aftercare instructions. This includes avoiding strenuous activities for a few days, refraining from makeup application, and keeping your skin hydrated with gentle products. Our team will guide you on how to protect and nourish your skin during recovery for the best outcome.

At Beauty Energy Exchange Aesthetics and Wellness, we typically recommend a series of at least 3 microneedling sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve the best results. The exact number of sessions will depend on your skin’s condition and your specific goals.

Microneedling involves minimal downtime, but there may be some temporary redness, swelling, or mild tenderness similar to a sunburn, which typically lasts for 1-3 days. While you can resume most activities shortly after the procedure, it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and makeup for at least 24-48 hours. Following the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner is key to ensuring your skin heals properly and you achieve the best results.

After your first microneedling session, you may notice immediate improvements, such as smoother skin and a more even tone. However, the full benefits will continue to develop over the next few weeks as collagen and elastin production increases. With a series of treatments (usually 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart), you’ll see even more significant, long-lasting changes in skin texture, firmness, and the reduction of fine lines or acne scars.
With consistent skincare and regular maintenance treatments, you can enjoy smooth, youthful-looking skin for months to come.
