Microneedling uses very fine needles to make tiny punctures in the top layers of the skin. As the skin repairs, it can improve texture and the look of some scars over a series of treatments.

A single treatment takes 50 minutes. Downtown also offers a 70-minute Regen-Needle + Phototherapy session.

What happens in a session

  1. Skin check

    You’re asked about your skin, medication and recent treatments, and the area is checked for breakouts or irritation.

  2. Cleanse and prep

    The skin is cleansed before treatment.

  3. Microneedling

    A microneedling device is passed over the skin. You’ll feel pressure and a prickling sensation.

  4. Calm and protect

    Soothing products are applied. Your skin will look pink, like mild sunburn.

Realistic results

Microneedling is a course, not a one-off. Dermatologists say it usually takes several sessions, and results can take months to show (AAD). Deep scars may need medical treatment from a dermatologist.

Questions people ask

How much is microneedling?

How many sessions will I need?

Most people need a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. You can ask for a plan at your first visit. Packages of 3, 5 or 7 sessions cost $390, $650 and $910.
